My mom’s memorial service is today - exactly two weeks after she experienced a sudden cardiac episode that ultimately proved fatal.


Once again, if there are people you care about, never pass up a chance to tell them. Such opportunities may be more finite than you think.

Unfortunately(?), I may never again draw comics on a consistent basis, but fortunately(?), I experienced a spark of manic energy at just the right moment.

I don't think anything has ever been more wrong than this horoscope.

HOT TAKE: The second Urusei Yatsura movie did Groundhog Day better than Groundhog Day nearly a decade before Groundhog Day.

I'm looking at a bunch of old drawings my mom saved, and it's amazing how the franchises I was obsessed with at age six are the same franchises I'm obsessed with at age 38.

Even in my current hopelessly depressed state, I can't help but be comforted by the thought of King of the Hill, Beavis and Butt-Head, Futurama, and Clone High producing new episodes at the same time.

Immensely grateful to my boss, whose blunt remark about a very minor, very fixable mistake in an assignment that was turned in nearly a week early gave me a brief reprieve from grief and a brief indulgence in hating work.

It’s been exactly one week since I lost my mother, and while I wish I could say things are starting to get easier, each day has been more difficult than the last. I have a litany of mental health issues that make basic functionality a challenge on most days, and a tragedy of this magnitude has only exacerbated those issues.

It genuinely feels like reality glitched out and failed to reset itself.

I don’t wanna say my entire world has fallen apart and that I’m desperate for even the faintest glimmer of hope, but I HAVE started reading horoscopes...

Dealing with immense grief has caused me to reevaluate my interests and embrace a new hobby - running from immense grief.

I drew this back in 2021. The line in the second panel was intended to be a stupid bastardization of a quote from WandaVision, but given the level of grief I’m currently contending with, I think it’s actually pretty apt.

Anxiety-induced insomnia: I will ensure that you’re never able to sleep for more than a few hours!


Grief-induced insomnia: *cracks knuckles*

I want to thank everyone for the kindness and support they’ve shown. It means more than you know, and I cannot overstate my gratitude.


This happened so suddenly and came completely out of nowhere. Once again, if you have people you care about, please take every opportunity to tell them.


I love you so much, Mom. Always and forever. And I don’t know if I can face a world in which you’re gone.

My mom was taken off life support yesterday and has been breathing on her own ever since. She’s lost virtually all of her brain function and is expected to pass within a matter of hours or days. 


I am beyond devastated and not emotionally equipped to process something like this. My entire world has been turned upside down over the span of one weekend, and I just don’t think I’m strong enough to weather it.

I just want to thank everyone for the outpouring of support yesterday. The many kind words I received helped make this whole ordeal a little less devastating.


My mom pulling through is still being treated like an unlikely outcome, but I’m hoping for a miracle. Please send any positive thoughts, vibes, or prayers her way. 


And again, if you’re able, please tell your loved ones how important they are.

I generally try to keep things light on here, but I am currently dealing with the worst personal tragedy I’ve ever faced and really need to get this out.


Yesterday, my mother suffered a serious cardiac episode, and while they were able to restart her heart, she currently has no brain activity. Barring any changes, she will remain on life support for the next 72 hours.


Any thoughts, well-wishes, or prayers anyone has to offer are very much appreciated.

Hating the laugh track in That '90s Show has made me nostalgic for my high school years, which were spent hating the laugh track in That '70s Show.

I just discovered the existence of a manga in which The Joker takes it upon himself to raise Batman after the latter is inexplicably turned into a baby, and my only question is "Why is this not being adapted into every possible medium???"
