The Adventures of Feeling Fighter

Battling his nemesis with naps, coffee, and donuts, among other things — If you missed part one of Feeling Fighter’s avoidant antics, you can see it here. I’ve spent most of my life desperately trying to fend off and avoid difficult feelings. These days, I’m making a deliberate effort to spend time with these uncomfortable sensations, observing how they move in my…

If I Were A Filthy, Stinking Rich Man

What I’d do with a billion-dollar lottery win — I must admit that a billion-dollar lottery got my attention. We’re not talking about vacation money with first-class passage and conversations about how a million isn’t what it used to be. We’re talking filthy, stinking, unimaginably rich. It refreshes the question I’ve always loved asking myself of what I would…

Uncomfortably Numb

You can’t deal with what you don’t feel — This comic started with a drawing from this comic essay on the way feelings can directly transport me through time. I’ve already got a second one in this series and would have no trouble drawing more. They are just scenes from my life. I am actively moving toward my feelings…

The Secret of Getting Good Is Not Focusing on How Good I’m Getting

It’s paying attention to what I’m actually doing — I’ve started noticing the astonishing extent to which I’m busy worrying about how well I am doing instead of focusing on the task at hand. Not to brag, but I can distract myself with angst-ridden self-evaluation while doing almost anything, including but not limited to, writing cartoons, playing guitar, doing…

Traveling Through Time to Connect My Feelings to the Past Where They Belong

Right in the nick of time — After years of studying the matter, both on and off the couch, I have a pretty clear thesis on why I struggle emotionally. Developmental injuries left me feeling periodically worthless and unlovable, which I have been ineffectually trying to remedy by frantically scrambling to somehow make myself more lovable and…

Authoritarianism and Why I’ll Never Tuck in My Shirt

A cautionary tale told too late — When I was in 4th grade, our principal Mr. Price always forced us to tuck in our shirts. I didn’t think too much about it at the time, but I clearly should have.

Dear Jeff Bezos

An open letter from a friend to what could be the most wonderful human ever — Dear Jeffy, Even though we’ve never met, may I call you Jeffy? I’d like this letter to feel like it’s from a friend since, in an imaginative sort of way, it is. I’m a big fan of what you created with Amazon and I’m constitutionally inclined to friendliness. So…
