Hello friends.

The following comics were made from January to September 2017, in the wake of a very difficult break up of a long term relationship. I was emotionally devastated and didn’t really know what to do with myself, so I made these comics to work through those feelings.

When the break up first happened I was pretty determined not to make any comics about it, thinking they would be too personal or vulnerable. I changed my mind after reading some of my other favorite cartoonists’ comics about break ups – at a time where I felt pathetic and weak, they helped me feel like I wasn’t alone, knowing that other people had gone through the exactly what I was going through. So I hope, maybe, these comics can do the same.

Some of these are really tough to look back on now (content warning for anxiety and trauma) – the earlier comics, especially, were made right in the middle of a dark and tough period. I am mostly out of it now and I have these comics to thank for that. Making them was cathartic, and looking back I can see myself getting stronger as they go on. So there is a happy ending here, and if you’re going through something like this, I know there is one for you, too.

I hope you enjoy them, and thanks for reading.
