Hey, can I tell you something cool?
I've been working with traditional publishers in some capacity for the last 16 years. It's fun! You give them comics and they put them in a book and then they have a system set up to get those books distributed into comic shops and book stores and other people can find them. Sometimes they pay you some money upfront (not always) and then there's the promise that if the book generates enough profit, you'll get a royalty payment later on.

CONTEXT: I'm currently enrolled in an Intensive Outpatient Program for mental health right now. I comic'd about it a bit before. I go in all day twice a week to learn healthy coping strategies to counter my bipolar brain and PTSD'd soul.

Instructor: Today in Expressive Therapy we'll be portraying our...

Thanks for being all nice and stuff about my other post. The one about my psych telling me to get enrolled in an Intensive Outpatient Program for my mental health struggles. Life is weird right now but kind of good-weird, I guess. Weird-with-the-potential-to-become-good. I don't know. I took this picture just now, this is exactly what I look like and where I am at the moment that I'm writing this t...

Narration: I've been having pretty significant bipolar swings the last couple months, so I checked in with my psychiatrist about my meds.
Psychiatrist: So, how are you doing?
Erika: I'm functional.

Erika: I go to work. I make jokes with my friends. I have a good relationship with my husband...

Oh boy.
Hoooooooo boy.
Today's comic is a doozy.
When we started OJST six years ago, Matt and I conversations about how explicit the comic should be and how explicitly we should depict ourselves in it. We decided it would be in our best interest and safety to keep all our bits and bobs covered up and leave the nudie sexy stuff ...

But I’m not going to hurt myself, I told my psychiatrist, and she still strongly recommended (commanded?) that I enroll in the Intensive Outpatient Program at the hospital. If I didn’t, she would like to have me actually hospitalized there.
I was blindsided.
But I’m functional, I told her. I go to work, I socialize, I post pretty pictures on Instagram. I’m articulate, I make jokes. I know I’m not in a good place, but I thought functional was good enough.

Workin' away on next week's review (We-Vibe's The Moxie, comic airing July 16. It's a remote-controlled vibrator you wear in your panties and leave your nethers to the mercy of somebody else at a distance) and for once I actually thought to document some of my drawing stages for you lovely folks.
Have I told you how lovely you look today?
Just. So lovely.

My phone froze on the bus, it wouldn’t even allow me to force it off by holding down the power button.
I was gunna spend the forty minutes sulking out of the window but then a summer camp troop of wee bitty children boarded and a tiny kid with a cloud of soft blond hair sat down next to me and I decided, against my better judgment, to strike up a conversation with him. Kids that age should have already been taught not to talk to strangers but I’m a white woman who dresses like a pre...

I actually made an animated gif in Photoshop????? I've always either used one of those free services online or got Matt to do it but today I put on my Big Boy Pants and looked up a tutorial and DID IT MYSELF. Like a GROWN UP.

Man, the last two weeks, and especially this last week, have been real rough on my poor body and brain. Just, real weak, real tired, brain on fucking fire. It’s frustrating, because I met with my psychiatrist last month-ish and I was doing ok-ish at the time and my blood draw said my lithium levels were safe so we didn’t adjust any of my meds but now it’s like, fuck, do I need to tweak my brain drugs again because I am barely functional 😬
I can’t imagine what life would...

Have you ever seen a radish flower?
It’s not something I ever thought about, until I saw my own blossoming.

You think of radishes and you think of the red root vegetable bundle you buy at the grocery store, if you think of them at all. Radishes are dinner.
But to a radish?
They’ve got their own directive. They’re trying to grow as big as they can ...

The stitching holding my coat pockets together disintegrated pretty spectacularly a few weeks ago and every time I’d have to fish around in the lining of my coat to retrieve my phone I would tell myself “Erika, you should sew this back up” but I never did.
Twenty years before this whole coat issue, I had a long, lightweight, floral dress that I wore as a teenager during the summers in Seattle.

You know how in a movie the villain always has an oil painting of themself above the mantle in their lair and they're just looking evil and smug and judgmental as fuck?
I've always loved that.
Like, who would do that?
Who would spend all that money on a vanity portrait and then make yourself look like an arrogant prick?

Just what the title says.
Make sure you watch all the way to the end for the shocking turn of events that you could probably see coming but it'll still take you by surprise anyway, like when you're watching a horror movie and you know the bad guy is going to jump out but then you still gasp when it actually happens because you can't freaking help it. That's what this is like.
Also! I am starting to figure out how to export my iMovies so they don't look as bad on YouTub...
