All your comics are hitting me like a hammer to the face, I mean that as in, "Why am I trying to make these ridiculous expectations for myself?" plus a bunch of other topics that your comics touch. There is so much I want to type, Β but point being, this is giving me some hope and is super encouraging. I can't express how much I've been burdened with expectations I put on myself, without realizing it. Thank you for making these comics, it helps me keep things in perspective and to slow down to make goals. Β This comment may have turned out too sappy, but I'm just glad I ran into these today. Thanks. Rock on.

YES! That's may goal in life, too :3 Growing up with watching Sailor Moon and other heartfelt animes and observing art styles, I plan on being one of the top American mangakas and hopefully one of the youngest :3

Been doing a lot lately and feeling very dissatisfied about it, not knowing where to stop on a given day, and just continuing on until bedtime with no real purpose. Talk about a reality check! I was doing good there for a while with a daily "to-do" list... but somewhere along the way, I let it slide. I'm going to make it a point to get back in that habit. Thank you!
Also, I want an ice cream castle. (And to see the latter half of the comic!)

Thanks for this. It carries the message through with some funny moments (who wouldn't want an ice cream castle?!). Love the muted color palette.

I can so relate to this comic. >>
"I want to make enough money with my comics to support my family!"
I am, quite possibly, doomed for failure.
Made me smile, though.
