So I broke the rules of the Gentle Comics Habit and skipped 2 days, then to make up for it I broke the rules again and did 2 in one day, but both felt necessary for a mental reset. This week has felt really heavy and I’ve been napping, feeling like the old sick days of being in bed 20 hours a day, but with really fun and exciting stuff peppered in between. I think I really didn’t prepare myself well enough for dealing mentally with the physical toll of exercise, and it’s stressing me out to be achy all the time - some part of me is waiting for all the recovery to come crashing round my ears. The best I’ve felt all week was making these 2 comics back to back though - it’s embarrassing making fan stuff, especially since it’s being posted to my “professional” website, but as soon as I thought about Venom at the park it was a done deal, and of course it had to be a zine. The emotional journal-style stuff is just a fringe benefit!

24 & 25 minutes, plus 5 to finish off the back of the zine + colour in the black parts.
