I was feeling a little nostalgic today. Usually I never go back in the archive but today I kept jumping back and forth between the current comic and the first one. Like this:

I’ve been really focused this year on pushing ahead and trying to improve after a couple years of feeling sort of stagnant. This was a nice little reminder of how far I’ve already come, which is something I don’t often think about. I can still remember drawing that first strip. In fact there were two comics that I drew before that one, that never got posted. I can remember sitting at my drawing table being so proud of that comic strip and so excited about making more.

I guess this is what 16 years of practice looks like.
