How am I holding up? Not great! Feels like I’ve been in flight-or-fight mode for — uh shit — like 2 straight years? Yikes. (Can we please just get vaccines for <5 already? That would be great, thanks.) Luckily I have these comics to drown out reality. Speaking of comics these two panels absent context is objectively hilarious. Can’t wait to see what happens next! Also thanks for the recommendation on Binky Brown, especially re: faith you were raised in/mental health. Sounds eerily similar to my own experience!

Ups and downs - Changed jobs (less stress, more money, more responsibility) but I'm just always tired and feel like I don't have time for myself. State of the world is a big down but escapism via comics has helps tbh. Going to be a minute until I can read Saga (I read the collected HCs) but know that I cannot wait.
Been a stressful year with health stuff. Hoping that better days are around the corner. Other than that just doing what I can to keep my head above water lol

Some really moving words here, thank you for sharing ! As a younger comix fan I haven't come across these names before, but fully intending to check out the Virgin Mary title !!
Also beautiful art ! I'm wondering if Niko drew each character multiple times or pasted the same picture and altered the colours and saturation ?? I recently came across this question with a comic I drew - redrawing the same picture identically is so hard !!
And thanks for asking Brian, I'm doing really well these days ! Reconnecting to my inner joy through meditation this past week has been super fun ! I hope everyone else is doing good !!
I worked all day from my home office Friday and then immediately started a 16+ hour round trip drive to help move my son out of his dorm for the summer. I'm back in my little office working and feeling like i need a break, but it is all worth it to hear him banging around his room like a junked up space monkey. I seriously think he just broke something as I write this, but I am so glad he is home! Time moves way too fast too enjoy fully.

Love that we’re opening up the floor to talk about our mental health. It’s so important especially with how the worlds been the past few years. Thanks for this post Brian!

Wellllllllll what can I say, I was recently diagnosed with "young-onset" Parkinson's Disease, so "holding up" has been kind of tough. I know that's probably more than you were asking for, but it certainly helps me to talk about it. It's been really tough developing this in a world where we are so closed off from each other. Thank you for asking.

With the great losses this week and this ongoing lousy smay weather, I feel like an asshole about being delighted for winning this week's BKV prize. Is there a talented writer out there that can process these conflicting emotions into a compelling narrative??
But, truly, thanks Brian - I feel honoured to be receiving a copy of your Gleason collaboration! And I am overly excited about the other surprises in store in the prize!! Thank you!!
Not great honestly. I've been dealing with health stuff that has made me basically nauseous for all of 2022, and it's getting increasingly scary. And depressing. And exhausting.
i'm ok i guess
Niko just keeps knocking it out of the park on these pages.

Sorry to hear of the loss of Justin Green :(
I'm not to shabby I guess, other than that overwhelming "Monday" feeling.
Also kinda scratching my head as to what to read next comics wise, as it helps me get through the down time in my work week.
Any recommendations for thick compendiums I could sink into?
I just broke up with my partner. I swear, sometimes I’d rather have my own heart broken than break someone else’s.

Thank you for suggesting the Binky Brown comic. I look forward to reading it.
