A screenshot of a tumblr ask from an anonymous user. They write, “Your art always seems to touch me when I really need it - been so incredibly depressed for no discernible reason (so nothing seems to improve it), hard to feel much, but flipping through your comics finally got me to have a much needed cry. I love you. Thank you for everything you share” A comic follows: "...MOMENTS EARLIER..." Emma is struggling to draw on her tablet. "ugh I'm having such a hard time drawing lately. everything i try to make always turns out so SHITTY." Emma yells, breaking her stylus, "AUGGHHH WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER MAKING ANYTHING???????????" Emma looks defeated, but is distracted by a notification on her phone. "what? a tumblr ask? what could anyone possibly have to say to a worm like me?" (tiny: Emma pauses to read and then cries)

thanks anon I needed that, i hope you’re feeling a little better

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”

This is from 1975.

A three-panel comic. Panel one: Ben and Chel are hanging out in Ben’s messy, poster-adorned bedroom. Ben is sitting on his bed, holding his guitar in his hands. He looks at Chel, who is sitting backwards on an office chair next to the bed, one arm lying on the backrest and the other propping up her head. With a weary expression, Chel says, “Civilization as we know it might end in our lifetimes… Isn’t that -terrifying?-“ Panel two: Ben strokes his chin in contemplation. Panel three: Ben smiles and responds, “Actually, it makes me feel a lot better about not settin’ up an I.R.A.” Chel looks at him, unimpressed.

In one of the pre-Disney books, there was a Hutt Sith lord who had a lightsaber duel with Leia. I always figured that was something you could only attempt in a non-visual medium like a book, because there's no way to have a big space slug fight somebody on screen without it looking absurd.

Yepppp.

A four-panel comic. Panel one: Chel is sitting in a recliner with a sad expression, slouched back, her hands in her lap. Eve is pulling a book from a bookshelf next to the recliner, glancing down at Chel. Chel says, “We’re living through the end of civilization, aren’t we? There’s no point in even -trying- to fight it.” Panel two: Eve turns to face Chel, smiles warmly, and says, “I disagree. The world has been through worse than this before, and people still managed to pull it back from the brink. Things will get better, Chel. It’s just going to take a lot of -consistent-, -determined- work from good folks like us.” Panel three: Chel frowns and says, “Sighhh. I guess so.” Eve, looking perplexed, says, “You sound disappointed.” Panel four: Chel crosses her arms and answers, “I wanted an excuse to give up.”

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

A bipedal red fox paints a rainbow across the sky. They have a determined look on their face. To the right of the rainbow are segments of text from newspaper articles about grim news for LGBTQIA+ folks, especially trans folks. On the left, there are flowers on the ground, with butterflies flittering about. The discouraging words are illegible faint smudges. Artist: BriarhideIllust

Persist against all odds

A two-panel comic. Panel one: Diego is sitting at the kitchen table, pouring himself a drink from a bottle into a shot glass. Ben approaches from behind and asks with a smile, “What’re ya drinkin’, bro?” Diego answers, “Medicine. For my health.” Panel two: Ben takes the bottle and examines it, saying, “…This is Irish cream.” Diego raises the shot glass to his mouth and continues, “My -mental health.”
