I am the hero of my universe right now! I finished my comic for the Comics Club publication we’re planning to put out next year. Actually, I may be the only person who’s done anything yet — but I’ve been yearning to produce something of my own for years, and I needed this specific focus, deadline, and accountability structure to make it to happen.
Comics Club has not only given me an instant cadre of friends, very talented peers, and constant laughs every Thursday night, it’s also helped me deliver the work I’ve been wanting to get started on ever since I got back into cartooning. The characters and world of this little comic feel like pieces I could move about in infinite combinations.
It doesn’t feel like time to share the comic yet — it’s still forming in my mind and vulnerable to being scuppered by the wrong thing said. But I have one four-page bit completed, and I’m very happy about that right now.
