Sneak: I uploaded this month's comics poll winner, In Brightest Day, In Darkest Funk to healthymultiplicity.com! The text-only script version is here!
Rogan: I originally made these strips during the Homeless Year; they never made it into the book of the same title because the Green Lanterns are not my intellectual property. (Though Guy Gardner, the world's most obnoxious Green Lantern, previously appeared in Edward Cullen Adventures.)
While I was making this comic, I was struggling with feelings of worthlessness, psychological exhaustion, and worries that my being on medication was simply blinding myself to the truth of how shitty the world was. During this bullshit period of my life, it gave me comfort to imagine my favorite superheroic anti-role model fighting these phantasms of misery (and by making those phantasms comedic, I could laugh at my own despair). I still have a fondness for Guy Gardner as an emblem of someone who has never, ever let failure, internal or external alike, stop him from doing his damnedest to be a superhero (even though he's never been that GOOD of one).
I had completely forgotten these strips' existence until![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
hanasaseru remarked how much she'd enjoyed them, a decade plus down the line. I never expected them to win the poll the moment they appeared! I hope that despite the rough Homeless Year art, they still give you a laugh.
