Stabbed! A short comic
made for an anthology awhile ago
I somehow say the word egg so wrong that every time I do conversation must fully stop in order to discuss it. But like, there can’t be more than 2, maybe 3, ways to pronounce egg right? What exactly am I doing to cause such offense?
if you ask me, the guy who put the sword INTO the stone should be king, not the chucklefuck who got it out.
This may seem silly but this is what I needed to hear in 2016, so I’m going to say it now. It’s okay to feel hopeless or angry or scared or betrayed or even just mildly nauseous. However you feel is the right reaction for you. You’re just not allowed to kill yourself. You are too good, too valuable, too important for this to be the thing that takes you. Yes the world is a mess, but taking one good person out of it isn’t going to make it any better.
So take care of yourself. Wrap yourself in that blanket. Get that hug. Eat that mug cake. Find your life preserver whatever it may be and keep going. You are stronger than you realize.
Deciding to do something when you’re feeling defeated is hard. If all you can take care of is you today, focus on doing that. Tomorrow or a week from now you can look at what your community needs to do to weather the storm in the long term. Yes communities are hurting now, but having to grieve one more person isn’t going to make anyone’s life any better. Please keep going. Please don’t let this election take you too.
Ok
I legit thought the song Death of a Bachelor by Panic at the disco was called Death of a Badger, and was about a dead badger, reflecting on his sad and lonely life.
gary larson this is one BANGER of a comic, thank you.
God my favorite thing about the ancient world though is that they were so dedicated to making things pretty just like us. I love seeing the marginalia in bibles and the pictures they commissioned and the letters they spent extra on. I love that we wrote poetry two thousand years ago and put on theater and made art. I love that pots and bottles and tombs and beds and cribs have designs on them I love the graffiti on ancient walls I love the fact that they danced and sung and made art just like we do!!!! We are the same we are the same we are the same
