Hi, I’m Monica. I make a comic called Get Some Help about Queen, a creative woman with adhd, and Onyx, the opinionated digital assistant she built.

If you’ve ever asked for help and regretted it, this might be your new favorite spiral.

Updates every Saturday at getsomehelpcomic.com and Tapas

A Black woman with a natural puff hairstyle and large round glasses sits at a desk in a home office, smiling and waving at the viewer. She wears a pink shirt and is surrounded by work items—a laptop, notebook, pencil, coffee mug, and desk lamp. Behind her is a corkboard with pinned papers and a tall bookshelf filled with colorful books. A speech bubble above her says, “Hi I’m Queen. Creative freelancer, deadline dodger, and expert in looking like I slept eight hours.”

Telling my story to Onyx is emotionally exhausting. I should have just programmed it in so he'd already know. Can I upload all my trauma to my digital assistant to process for me? 🤔

Thank you! I hate how easy it was to write that from life. I think this next one will be the most emotionally charged. It's all a whole roller-coaster lol So glad you're still reading! 💖

Artist note: Waaaaay too much glass in this sketch! Just a prime example of how sometimes ideas aren't as easy as they sound. Ugh... Final version will be available Saturday with the conclusion of this flashback. Warning, it's not pretty.

Artist note: making the flashback look like a really old comic was the best and worst idea I've ever had! Love how it came out but man was it tedious! 😩

Also if you haven't read it, it's tooootally your kinda book!!

Dungeon Crawler Carl was written and posted chapter by chapter during covid. I just bought all the audio books and gifted the ebooks bc it's so good! I would def do that with your new book because Castoff is THAT good! You have the foundation and the audience, so build it bc we're already here!! 💖

Best part of my days off, is working on Chimera Academy. <3 Don't ask about any other tasks I should be doing ;;;;

( I'm still piddling in the screentones co-work channel if you wanna join me! )

A WIP comic panel, Salron is bringing way to much energy to simple ask ( read: yell ) ARE YOU REALLY A PROFESSOR HERE? And Professor Dittany just has that wide-eyed stare that teachers have when kids are out of line.

Sometimes a deep fresh breath with a snail mail check (it's always empty lol) makes a huge difference in my mood. What about you?

Today I took an ice cream break at 10am. Onyx said, “That’s not on your productivity list.” Sir, neither is crying over yet another mass shooting and the government shutting down, but here we are. 🍨

Our neighbors gifted us a little fig sapling that was sprouting up next to their adult fig tree and I painted them a thank you card! Times like this I'm really glad to be an artist because I can give something back to generous folks!

That sounds hella distracting lol I'd get nothing done! I like to put on NASA Apollo missions and listen to the astronauts describe what they see. I feel like it makes me more creative
