 Briefly, my focus at this point is on wrapping up The Earth Company. Admittedly, I think that'll take about 8-10 more pages. I won't hold myself to a new page every two weeks (not that I've been even remotely holding to that during the summer while working, anyway), but will try to get it out at a reasonable pace. We'll see what exactly that means but I'm hoping to actually go a bit faster now that I know about what's going to be on every page from here on out. I figure I'll probably print The Earth Company as another physical zine whenever I'm done. I'll almost certainly do a retrospective about the whole process of making this comic once it's actually done. Also may finish writing a blog post about the comics that make me want to make comics at some point, if people are interested in that. No real point in me writing about it if not, since I already know I want to read them lol.  In any event, The Earth Company is by far the longest comic I...

 

 

 

Admittedly, ‘retrospective’ is a misleading term. I’m not done with diary comics or anything, but I haven’t made one in about a month and don’t plan on doing any over the summer, so I figured it was a good time to reflect on the ‘project’ (this feels dramatic) that was me making a diary comic every few days.  Not to self aggrandize, but doing this has really changed how I view myself and my art. I’ve made 56 total diary comics, and the experience of making and sharing them (especially the 30 straight to this blog) has made me take my comics a lot more seriously. I’m certainly not some sort of comics god, but I feel like I can use the medium as a form of effective self-expression that people are really interested in in a way I did not before doing this. I started making diary comics as part of an assignment for a class in early October 2024, and I kept going sporadically until about the end of the month for fun, but I’ll focus on the diary comics since I picked it back up in January...

 

 

 

 

  This is the first page of a longer comic, "The Earth Company," which I'm hoping to serialize on my blog, and maybe Twitter too. I'm hoping to get a page out every two weeks at first (every other Wednesday), and please feel free to hold me to that. For now, as I update I'll also update a page of my blog where you can read everything that has come out so far at once. Enjoy!
