later that night got incredibly drunk and unpredictable due to sleep deprivation and wildly mixed emotions about graduating, proceded run into a brick wall, attempted to jump in front of cars, hit myself in the head with the Iron Bar, and bash my computer with the Iron Bar, the lock broke to my door so Brittney and I were stuck locked in my room and I went crazy with claustrophobia, and I generally scared Brittney half to death, for which I have thoroughly apologized. No comics about all that, in part out of shame, but also because it would be hard to draw

#349-Celebration

Isn’t it great when you just put energy into your sleeping? When you are just, like, sleeping with all your might. It is super great.

I inked these with some new brushes, which are handmade by a nice-seemiing English lady, and recommended by this dude, who is super talented. I haven’t decided how I feel, yet. Certainly it looks fine in the final product, being all smaller-styles than it is in real life. The brushes are super expressive, which is awesome, but also makes them a little harder to control. I think I’m getting the hang of it, though. So my only real issue is I’m finding it extremely hard to get my lines to come to a nice, tapered point like they’re supposed to. I’ve only used two of my four brushes, so maybe I’ll give the others a try, and maybe I just need more practice with these brushes. They’re clearly high-quality, and even after the unfavorable exchange rate and shipping them across the Atlantic they were still very, very competitively priced.

I graduate this Saturday! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat the hell. In the meantime, partyin’ and relaxin’ are gonna be the name of the game.

    Thanks, Ali! Also I saw you texted me last night, but my phone’s screen is messed up so I can’t read texts and I’m having a hard time calling people. I can still receive calls, though, so just give me a ring.

    Yeah, Thomas, I’m with you on this one. Fuck that noise!
