The Plight Of Frowners [Comic]

Finally, Gene speaks!!!  I'm glad I had some gorgeous scenery to look at while I worked these comics out.  It was pretty tough so it was nice to have something serene and happy to look at between panels.

Montana was a lot of fun.  It was my first time in the state and my first time spending so many days at such a high elevation.  I found it a bit difficult to take full breaths.  The first day kinda sucked because I was dealing with allergies and elevation.  I also tried jogging one day which really sucked.  But aside from those physical problems, I had a blast.  Very relaxing.  I got to see more wildlife with my own eyes instead of through the glass or the bars of a zoo.  A moose even came to visit our house! A MOOSE!

I'm not an outdoorsy type person so I was a bit apprehensive about going.  But that's just fucking stupid.  Getting away from everything was exactly what I needed.  The scenery was gorgeous.  The company was perfect.  I had an absolute blast.

PAX


No rest for the weary!  This coming weekend, I'll be at PAX Prime!  No real reason, just hanging out with my brother who is the true genius of the family.  I won't have a table or anything fancy, I'm going as an attendee for once!!  I think we're cosplaying as something as well.  It's gonna be nice to do a show and not have to worry about selling things.  So if you see me wandering around looking like an idiot, say hey!

You must be truly sad, my friend.

Oh?

Frowners come in here all the time. But they always leave with a smile.

PANEL 3

Gene holds up a fresh batch of bubble tea.

GENE



You're drinking one of my finest blends known to make even Hades smile, yet you've barely cracked a grin. What has broken you so?

PANEL 4

Greg, thoughtful.

GREG



There's a proverb. "If you love something, set it free. If it returns, it's yours forever. If it doesn't, it was never meant to be."

PANEL 5

Greg looks off.

Greg



Well, I did that first part. But I don't think she's coming back.

This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words. Also not linking the discourse directly because I don't want to dogpile on the inspiration for my thoughts. But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.
