A quick comic I drew for this week's Drink & Draw

I've found that the more comics events I organize for DCP, the less time I actually have for drawing myself. This was a quick comic I made for this week's Drink & Draw. I was given the title, then I had to come up with a story to match the title.

Apparently I forgot to post this one. I didn't make it the full 28 days of February. I only made it 11 days, but that is much better than last year.

Headaches

Warning: this is a little self-indulgent, but it was necessary at the time. 

 

So, disclaimer, things are much better than they were when I drew this comic about a month ago. My doctor had put me on a crazy anti-seizure medicine in hopes it would help with my migraines. Not only did it not help with the headaches, but I had really bad side-effects. I had trouble thinking and focusing, I would forget words all the time which made it very difficult to hold conversations, I was running into things while walking, I lost weight because I would forget to eat for a whole day, my fingers would tingle all the time like my hands were falling asleep, and I was having panic attacks. I was on this for a little over a month and for that month it became really hard to deal with daily life because now I was not only in pain but I felt like my brain was failing me.
It took so much energy just to get through work that I didn't really have energy for anything else so I mostly stopped hanging out with people because it was too hard to hold a conversation. I didn't go right back to my doctor to be taken off of it because I no longer trusted myself and I thought, maybe this is just what I'm always like. The headache specialist I started seeing this month took me off the medicine right away and things got better fast. Now that I'm seeing this specialist I feel much more hopeful that the headaches will pass with hopefully as few unobtrusive medications as possible.
I wasn't going to post this one originally because it just felt too personal, but I also wasn't really talking to people about what I was going through at the time so I will share now.

Zoy!

So I've been working on a few longer comics, or longer for me and it's been a slow process so I haven't had much to post. I did, however, find the first two comics I ever made when I was 13 years old. I thought they had been lost years ago, but apparently were hiding out in a folder somewhere, so I thought I'd share. I posted them ridiculously large because they're nearly impossible to read at the next smaller size.

Can you tell it was the 90's?

This one is only a very mild exaggeration of the ridiculousness of my Global Studies teacher, if exaggeration at all.
