Its about my experience with dysmorphia, dysphoria & my undying love for insects

nocturnal, pepe reyes 🌝
pepe does it again 🥲 his comic this year’s has pulled off the feat of being somehow even more wonderful than last year’s! i see a lot of people who seem to think comedic charm is separate from or even antithetical to ““serious art”” and i would like them to read pepe’s work…

pepe is a good friend and also makes some of my favorite comics ever. they are so beautiful and make me so emo. and this is no exception. even if they're stories about funny and lovely animals they are so so so incredibly human. 10000/10 frogs read nocturnal now
