Now that I have a fully functional brain, I can't press enough how much Thought Bubble is... extremely the comics show for me and people like me. Folks who are not only stoked to see the things that people create, but to get inspired for making art for arts sake.

Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.
