I’m a nudist and an exhibitionist, some folks just like being naked and ogled!
Screenshot of Facebook Me: concerns about a potential stripper pole causing prostitution is silly. A bunch of bars in rw have hosted burlesque performances, partial nudity and dancing doesn’t immediately beget crime Commenter: then YOU get half naked and hop on a stripper pole. If that sounds unsavory to you, you just might be starting to understand why so many women are over it, and don’t want it in their neighborhood. Me again: I’ve gogo danced, it’s fun!

I put off starting my comic for 8 years because I was worried it wouldn’t be good enough. The first pic is how it started in 2021. The second pic is from late 2025. I would’ve NEVER gotten to the quality of the second pic if I didn’t spend the last 5 years just TRYING.

After that, you can attempt the rit-“ 3: closeup of another man’s mouth “Will it hurt?” 4: remi, a man in a tan suit with long black hair, responds “the shot? Yeah. But nothing compared to the ritual” 4 panel black and white comic 1: a woman with a broken jaw, bleeding from her eye, chokes out “Guh-GEHLUK!” 2: a man with a monstrous arm slowly says “Vanessa… I…. Forgot how fragile humans are” 3: a black worm comes out of the man’s mouth while he says “it’s okay.

And now, whenever I utter it, I wind up in the bathroom of my childhood home. Losing access to a word like that can be... limiting. 5: a close up of Mr. Carter looking very worried, while remi offscreen says "That's why you'll be numbed! YOU won't have any problems!"

I. Absolutely. LOVED this book! @keezyyoung.bsky.social killed it with Hello Sunshine.

One of the things that stuck out to me was how she used the characters different approaches to organizing their thoughts through writing to depict their internal thoughts.
