Thinking about my next book. Think hard
Who are you? What is your essence? Have you ever thought? Oil paint. Brush strokes. Then Photoshop
I am the glove that your comic artist wore this month. I deserve credit. Just saying you know?
This is the sea of dissatisfaction. That damn big fish is covering me up. I bet we look blurry at the background. Again a dead fish role. I want to act in more popular comics. When am I going to be a lead actor?
Good morning. Before I go and sleep I want to tell you that your comics artist submitted her graphic novel to her publisher. Meaning, from now on, there will be a new comics here as it used to be. Yay! Bye.

Your comics artist ignores Ordinary Things. She works on her graphic novel all the time but no time for us. What will happen to us? She makes us with the scrap material of her graphic novel.
Today I sat in the shade and made comics. Well this is not a comic... but since I appeared here it became a comic.
Be a comics artist in 5 steps. 1. Do not label yourself as "I cannot draw." Drawing does not require talent. You Just need to draw a lot. 2. Carry a pen and sketchbook where ever you go. 3. Draw things like chairs, tables, trees, windows, people, animals, plants in the pot, computers. 4. Perspective, materials, drawing table are details. You will learn them or buy them at some point. Don't worry. All you need is a notebook and a pencil. 5. Draw at least 2 hours a day for 3 months and see what happens.
"Well, I am full of pesticides." "I want to eat you!" "I would not eat a pear that talks." "I should be quiet so nobody knows that I am a pear." "Gold! I found gold!" "I don't wanna be here. I belong to better comics." "I don't want to go to kindergarten" "well, you do not have an option." "I forgot what I was thinking." "I am her thought and I am free" "I am just a tiny..." "...spot in the entire universe." "All the lonely people where do they all come from?" "Sir, you are dividing!" "OMG!"
