Three things:
1. This is To Be Continued. I got tired of working on this comic but there’s a long list of things I hate about this situation and I fully intend to indulge myself by making a comic about them.
2. When I tweeted “I want to make a comic about how bitter I am but don’t want to come off as incredibly bitter” and some people were like “do it anyways” and then I was like “well, alright then” I just wanted to say thank you fellow citizens of twitter, for giving me new courage to make comics about my self absorbed downward spiral. For reals.
3. I’ve been feeling less bitter since this song started coming up on my shuffle a lot. You would think this song would make me hate everything more, but it doesn’t.
I love this comic. I can’t wait to see what comes next. Fuck the fucking beaches, indeed.
Thanks for writing this comic. I want to say more but I can’t think of a way to phrase it that doesn’t sound dumb.
This is great work. And, I’m glad you did it and shared it. Great. Work.
I dunno what to say except I’ve got it bad for you Tessa. You are all kinds of beauty that can’t be stopped by anything, no matter what you think.
Also, I wish I could fly across the country right now holding a stupid fucking beach scene diorama in my arms, and break down your door so we could smash it together. Then I think the beach gets torched.
This reminds me of my own experiences w/depression; that disease, though, is treatable of course. I hope that you are able to learn how to cope with EBV. In the meantime … I think you deserve to engage in some therapeutic rage.
This is almost exactly my life. I’m humbled – and yet I’m laughing. That is weird.
Always do it anyways.
This is all kinds of brilliant.
Thanks you guys, making this rage-tastic comic was incredibly therapeutic and to get to share it makes me feel pretty lucky. Anyways, your encouragement (especially since its about all this face-clawing dark stuff) is very, very much appreciated.
I think this is probably the best thing on this site, and one of the most emotionally provocative comics I’ve read in a while. You really didn’t hold back with the gritiness/anger, yet it still held onto a bit of that cute Tessa charm. Blown away right now, because you just topped yourself that much. Seriously genius, can’t wait to see the rest of this.
Tessa I miss you I’ll come visit this week
