It’s hard to believe that your daily life would ever be interesting to anyone, but in 3000 years no one will really understand what it was actually like to live in 2022 any more than we really understand what it was like to live in 1776. Ironically in this era more people talk continuously about their comings and goings, moment by moment, but it isn’t really recorded anywhere in particular. In many ways my comic is kind of my attempt to tell people what it was like to be alive at the time I was alive. Of course I haven’t made but one print volume of the thing, so if something goes wrong my life’s work will simply be gone forever. Hopefully I’ll find someone to help me create books before I die because I can’t do this stuff alone. Maybe when I was younger I could have, but now I’m just to tired and worn down to learn all the new things in order to do that stuff. The first time was a huge hassle and took Mom forever to figure it out. I’m going to have to find someone I can pay to do it for me. I don’t expect I will sell very many copies if I did it, I just want enough copies to exist that after I’m gone I can speak across time to people who never knew me. Ideally I’d like a little companion book of the blog posts that could be cross referenced with the comic pages.
Honestly the blog would probably be more useful to a historian a thousand years from now than the comic, but the comic provides context a lot of the time.
Anyway, none of this would be possible without the people who support my efforts via patreon and whatnot. (Links above) If you want to help me speak to future generations pleas consider becoming a patron.
