There was a tweet a while back that was like "People want to be in communities but keep finding themselves in audiences" that I think about a lot and feel like there's a connected experience of being born to make art but forced to make products

I read someone's autobio comic on tumblr a million years ago that had the line "How you spend your days is how you spend your years." and I've long forgotten who it was or what else they made but thinking about that line always gets my ass in gear to make stuff.

If you're wondering why I'm self-publishing Bug Boys again, it's because after my publisher said no to continuing the series, I realized I was either going to make the work I wanted to make or wait around for some editor somewhere to give me permission

If you want to do hourly comics but you're worried your life is too boring right now, my tip is to focus on recording what you're thinking about during the hour, not what you're literally doing.
