Imagine if the actual show had the intro’s production values.

Re-typed it?! Why would they make so much additional work for themselves?

If it was professionally published, that’s 100% on the proofreader, but yeah, I’d be crestfallen if I were the author.

Likewise, and thank you for the thoughtful response. I’m sorry for your struggles, and I’m happy to hear that meds have offered some relief.

I’ve referred to OCD as a full-time job for which there is no vacation time or compensation, and while this was intended as a joke, it is also a statement of fact.

Unsurprisingly, the personal tragedy I suffered in 2023 and the copious external stress that followed have exacerbated the condition to near-unmanageable levels.

It is a disorder with which I’ve struggled for most of my life, and the reactions from people in my orbit have ranged from frustration to cold indifference, thus making me extremely hesitant to spell out my situation or seek out support.

It is a perpetual influx of intrusive thoughts, negative feelings, and (oftentimes unwarranted) fear. A significant portion of my time is spent contending with deeply intrusive thoughts, and the amount of stress OCD causes me on a daily basis is impossible to quantify.

I just fear that this awful period will unduly prejudice people against irredeemably evil bald men.

New comic! Wherein Cord is conflicted.

Hug your anger (and your soup).

Not to brag, but I'm, like, MODERATELY certain that I was the first person to whom the adjective "adorkable" was applied.
