Well, your comic sends out a message to the viewers literally and it's very easy to read. So of course it will be a DD.
Welcome back to Deviantart!

The trick is to try to invert that thought: "Look at how successful this person is, I'm not that far behind, I can be successful too"

What you said is basically the truth. (And it helped me, because I suffer from envy.) Thank you for making this comic, it helps a lot of people out!

Well. And then some artists rip other artists off or get into great internships because they know people or get hired straight out of a great art college because their parents paid for them to go to a great art college No doubt, most likely real talent will out -- but sometimes real talent gets ground into powder when an artist has to work at Burger King to pay their bills...
All the same, do yoga and drink kava tea if it helps you sleep at night. Anger is hardly ever useful unless it's well focused with ruthless discipline.

My grandmother does this kind of talk with me every time we talk to one another, but addresses it the wrong way ..as it esculates to an argument, then it just overwhelms me.. as she has a sharp tongue out of frustration, because of me.. hm. (not like the lack of resources help me or anything, but I digress)..
I love this..
not just the message, but the contrasting colours and expressions too. much grats on the DD!

I'll save this as a reminder to kick myself in the tail feathers once in a while, and stop being this person.

This is incredible. I confess I've felt jealousy before when it comes to others. This is advice everyone - not just artists - should take to heart.
