Here are a number of “cutting floor” comics that I wanted to publish all at once.
(The song “Shorty’s Ark,” by Will Oldham [a.k.a. Bonnie “Prince” Billy] and Matt Sweeney — lyric video here — appeared on their 2021 album Superwolves. In 2023, Oldham and the artist Lori Damiano adapted the song into a kids’ book, also called “Shorty’s Ark.” We love them both. )
I could scroll your comics forever, I swear.
This triptych! “But why be MAD about it” //
“Maybe being sad, stressed, and annoyed will be good for my art” //
“I’m trying to ‘be natural’ ‘not force things,’ and ‘accept life as it is’ while also still ‘being myself’”
