When I first wrote this comic, I knew that I wanted a quote from Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, or perhaps H.P. Lovecraft. I ended up with Poe, but not about the subject I thought, instead of loneliness I found one about escapism through alcohol and substances. I soon realized this was far more fitting since I had shown a bit of Curly’s alcohol dependency throughout the story. Weird how things work out and fit into place at times. 

For this page, I could just not resist making a homage to the fantastic Spider-Man No More panel, from a pivotal chapter in the story of Peter Parker and his struggle with maintaining a balance between being a civilian and a superhero. It is such an epic and emotional panel that it has been ingrained in comic book history and I just had to refer to it, even if Curly’s action here is not even a fraction as epic. Fun fact, this issue also held the very first appearance of Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin! 

And we are back from the void, due to technical difficulties the comic was not able to be updated regularly. However, the problem should be solved now, or else I am turning to the dark arts in a desperate measure to keep this sinking ship going! 

The world is a messed up place right now, with so much horror and confusion. Maybe we all should just put sunflower seeds in our pockets, make the best of the day that we can, and be the best versions of ourselves, knowing that a flower might grow where we croak.  

Rewatching BoJack Horseman and enjoying every moment of it! Broken people trying to improve themselves, find comfort and happiness, and screwing up while doing it.  

Bye Pascal, I am going to miss drawing your fun retro-cartoon world! 

Happy Valentine’s day o everybody who is celebrating it! And for those who do not have anyone to share it with, you are not alone.
