So this is why there was no update yesterday!—I slept until 3018. I don’t take naps often enough to be “good” at them, so when I take them, I wind up just sleeping way too much.

Believe it or not, this comic took some workshopping to get right. The scan looked like this:

Kinda messy. The roughs are usually very close to the end result, so comics like these kinda start like a chunk of marble and need to be chipped away at.

Did you know to hover over images to see them? That’s so they don’t distract from the comic when you read it. Seems to work okay, yeah? Unless you’re on mobile. Sorry if you’re on mobile.

More notes and stuff soon!

I don’t mean to stereotype, but people from my Marketing department are weirder than the engineers, and those guys are supposed to be the nerds, so… not really sure what’s going on.

idk, there’s something off about money people? Just wanted to make a vignette about that, I guess.

More tomorrow, thanks for reading!

This is kinda an addendum to the storyline; I really appreciated how the comic forced me to think “bigger” than myself when I was dealing with the plot. It really did help me put things into perspective and also helped me deal with emotions I didn’t really have words for. I could write words for them, but I hope the way the storyline turned out left you with them, unsaid.

It’s Tuesday! I am feeling the love from all y’all reading and supporting my work. Following along. I love it. Thank you!

More soon – hopefully something a little more fun than CANCER COMICS. Bye.

PS. Betcha didn’t notice that panels 2 and 3 are drawn with a different pen than panel 1. The reason? I can’t find my pen!

OK I’ve put some thought into it and I think I’m gonna end this storyline here. Goin’ with my gut! I may write an addendum, but for now, I like that I kinda ended with a “feeling good” vibe. There’s a lot more I could say, a lot of ways I could go, but I reread the chapter and I think I’m going to keep it simple, here. Cancer is hard and weird. There are no right answers.

Anyway, this is Monday’s update, so I guess I need to make ANOTHER comic for TONIGHT?? Man, being a diligent artist is so lame. All my friends are probably out seeing movies and here I am drawing when I get home from work.

More tonight, hopefully!

OK so I still made a comic but I wanna put a little extra time into the final strip of the Feeling Good storyline, y’know?

I’ll have more stuff soon, of course. It’s Friday! Goodnight!

I drew this comic up last night and for whatever reason, WordPress wasn’t havin’ it! Couldn’t upload the strip! Thanks a lot, technology!!

Anywho, getting close to wrapping this storyline up. Here’s more of that bedside manner I was talking about in yesterday’s strip.

Thanks for reading! I’ll have more stuff soon. Been working on JOAT, too. Gonna share that with my Patreon supporters soon!!

BYE.

Go back a page! I updated twice tonight.

Or, if you wanna revisit the storyline, start here.

Hope your week’s good! I’m trying to keep mine on-track.

RE: the comic –

I feel like doctors have this way of reassuring people that’s supposed to be helpful, and so then it somehow feels insincere or tryhard. Which I hate feeling like because I know they’re there to help. And I don’t know if they are even forcing it. Some are obviously better than others. But sometimes I just want someone to be straight with me and not try to sugarcoat anything.

More to come, I think.

not the easiest condition to get your head straight, iykwim huehuehue

anyway, full-body checks are where the doctor checks you over to make sure all the parts of your body are worry-free. it’s fine. weirder part was the “scratch and burn.” but I’ll get to that later.

I updated twice tonight! The second one is next. CYA THERE ///

what I’m saying is I often fall back into old habits and cycles because I can’t escape my situation. at least, not yet. and I see myself struggling and I keep telling myself to get out of the situation but I am. I just have to be patient for a little while longer and I know this.

and yet. it’s still tough. oh well. I’ll get through it eventually. sorry if these comics sound like a broken record.

and yeah that’s bonnie. lindsey’s mom.

I’m going to try to continue updating this week! I always try. so why say it? why say anything. that’s what I say to that.

this happened about a week before I got the results of the test back. just kinda odd how some coworkers will react? idk, I don’t think anyone really knows how to react to serious health stuff? there’s definitely not a “right” answer

scares’a comin’
