Description This comic appears in Secret Prison 2.

My sister says this says too much about my life and is quite upsetting. However, I kind of meant it to be a broader take on how bizarre and hopeless the shit we do is.

Thanks! Is that like a fish's face you just made there? I've never seen that one before. I like it.

Weird, you're right it was doing that. D'oh.

Should be working now, though all I did was edit it, delete the address and type it in again. Must have been a deviantart curiosity.

Sweet, saw it's got Benjamin Marra in it too.

I'm going through the same thing at the moment. So much stuff to get through.
I've been thinking of myself as a machine.

An anti-social machine who gave up a go at zombie paintball to paint another damn picture.

Yes! He did a sweet, overtly badass cover for it.

I want to think of myself as a machine but I'm more like a washing machine that's all grimy and keeps breaking.

mlauritano In reply to ??? [2010-09-06 20:30:30 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, this is depressing but true. I really like the idea of the outside of our homes as being one, generic, huge, and desolate 'way bigger place.' Also, I don't know what's going on in those little triangular motifs at the top and bottom--looks like some combination of innards and digestive soup--but for some reason I can't look away from them.

MumblingIdiot In reply to mlauritano [2010-09-14 17:07:58 +0000 UTC]

Something horrible. I sort of wanted to juxtapose this minimalistic, unbearably geometric view of the world with the grizzly and complicated messyness that it's all actually made up of. Or something like that!

I never felt that life was pointless... but I like this comic the fact that this little feller's life is as hopeless as can possibly be makes it funny.

I like how, because of the abstraction, everything ends up looking very uncomfortable, especially things like the bed and couch.

Understatement is, in my mind, the most successful means of arriving at a humorous outcome, and, truly, you have it down-pat. Some of these panels are unbelievably hilarious. I really hope to see your work in my local Barnes and Noble at some point.

I love this. Especially the 'close your eyes' panel.
I think it's quite dark (the content, not the drawing. The drawings are fine! ). I don't think it says how you lead your life, but I do think it says something about your view on life
