the first time I read this two page comic "Luce" from her underground comic "Spasm!", I felt a groundswell under me. I've never really seen that feeling of fear and sadness in the murk of dysphoria captured so directly and beautifully. It hurts to look at. It might be my favorite comic.

Back from the void (or so I hope) I've always had trembling hands but the last couple of months have been shacky, and today my whole body is. I guess I'm exhausted but it's the beginning of the year again and I have a ton of work waiting; trying to take it slow for now

If you love a webcomic, consider doing two things: 1. Personally recommend it to one other person 2. Comment on pages You have no idea what these small things do to help a comic grow! Peer-to-peer is how a fan base is built, and comments boost engagement, setting the comic up for more success! 💖

This all starts with a secret handshake between writers and yard workers, a mutual understanding that if writers don't leave cans behind, and they don't touch the identifying numbers on the cars, then there's largely no harm. Writers will go to meticulous lengths to respect the latter rule.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.
