Graciously donated quick sketch of New Goro by Merlin. Figured I’d give you all an update:
Therapy and depression meds are definitely working but the recovery is a slow process. The disease was grinding me down over the last year and I was punishing myself to put out comics and I think the quality was degraded because of it. Something happened to me last year that totally crushed my morale and it’s been very difficult to get over that, despite the hundreds of people like you all lifting me up!
But I’m feeling stronger slowly. Gonna see if I can make a comic this week. I’ve been planning this storyline for years and it’s gonna rock, I just need to remember what made it feel awesome to make comics and the energy to make it so.
If you want to read something else (that’s HUGE) that I wrote over the course of the last year, I did a narrative Let’s Play of XCOM. Lots of strange and hilarious characters shooting aliens in the face and finding love on the battlefield. I had a lot of fun doing that.
Nice sketch!
And thanks for the update – we’re all rooting for you. <3
Woah, a narrative Let’s Play! I love those. Thanks for that, and for letting us know how you’re doing! And that sketch is certainly adorable. Ah, if the man Goro used to be could only have seen how cute he’d one day become.
It is good to hear from you. Thanks for the update. We are all pulling for you. Given the situation you were in, it is amazing how much you did accomplish in the past year.
*Hugs* Glad you’re getting better. We’re here for ya. Take as much time as you need … there’s no reason to play hero and push yourself too hard … no webcomic, not even one as awesome as this, is worth you burning yourself out or worse.
Seconded
Woohoo, get better soon.
Don’t stress yourself though. If you can’t make it, you can’t make it. No apologies, explanation or forcing yourself necessary.
For your real fans your health is the most important thing, both physical and mental and I hope you’ll get well soon.
Good to hear you’re on the up again.
