Comic Updates

Four new comics have been added today. In order: Molly and the DoughBoy 1-3, and a story page. Odds are, the story page is on the main page right now. Click previous a few times to get back to Molly and the DoughBoy, or click here.

Molly and the DoughBoy is a miniseries I’m going to run here, along with the “Robin’s Art Week” things. It’s based on various conversations in college, at work, and with friends, and generally about all the stupid things people do, because honestly, it’s like, when faced with a tough situation, people generally choose solution that leaves them uncomfortable, and leaves the rest of the world writhing in mortal agony.

Of course, they’ll always defend their actions, because nobody wants to imagine, for even a second, that they screwed up.

The way I look at it? First time you tried to speak, did you do it perfectly? Of course not. First time you tried to used a toilet, did you do it perfectly? No, you had to be potty trained. First time you drove a car, did you do it perfectly? No, although you probably thought you did at the time. How about the first time you made friends, or were in a relationship? Were you perfect the first time, or was there a learning curve?

News Flash to the world: You are not immediately granted the wisdom of the ages, and experience of the gods. No birthday will ever make you smarter. The only things that will make you better at it all is experience, observation, and reflection. How long have you been driving? several years? Well think back a year. How would you compare your driving experience now to then? What if I asked a year ago? You’d probably say then that you’re more experienced then than you were 2 years ago. We learn over time. We all screw up, and if we’re intelligent, we’ll try to do better the second time around, or at least a little later into that first time.

Second News Flash: This thing called life? Yeah, it’s your first time.

Hopefully people will get a laugh or two while also understanding the point I’m trying to make.

…Yeah, I’m facetious and sarcastic.
