it keeps me humble.

"everyones twelve again theory" "everyones a kidadult" "we're regressing as a society" no its just everyones gotten really into larping as jake english and wont stop for the exact same reasons jake english in the story wont stop.

grown addicted to saying "can anyone hear me?" when i say shit like this. literally can anyone hear me? do you understand what im saying? grabs by the lapels and stats shaking with teary eyes. theyre jake englishing EVERYWHERE.

its hard for me not to see that as a gross flex of privilege. i understand its involuntary but its like damn.

sometimes i see someone wistfully fantasize that they are a child in a hospital again being lovingly taken care of by the adults around them because its whether they felt safest and i get irrationally angry that thats never been the case in my life. not for me or any child ive cared for.

"what makes a good comic" depends solely on the purpose and intent of the comic. you would be stupid to give a romance comic artist advice that was only applicable to a horror artist. you would be stupid to give digital comic advice to a traditional paper comic. its unanswerable.

ohhhh i get it. people run from the ability to hope because it puts them in agonizing pain. and kids always bouncr back easier. thats what they always say!
