Comic strip of Michel Abstracto dressed in post-apocalyptic attire and discussing why it is important to continue your creative pursuits during times of crisis.

Cartoon strip of me talking to a psychiatrist who is refusing to discuss other medicine options than the one he wants to give me. I advocate for myself by explaining to him that I am the expert of myself and insist that he collaborate with me about my needs.
