I wanted to say that the Non-religious Confessional had always been one of my favorite comics and the video version actually made it 100x better (or whatever arbitrary scalar you want for your quantification of quality).
When I saw the AMA I really wanted to post something, because your work has honestly meant a lot to me, but I couldn't come up with anything better than the equivalent of "Hey, I really loved your show." Y'know?
And it's not that I don't think you'd appreciate hearing it, but there's not really a question there or anything to build on or that everyone else hasn't already said a thousand times, so why bother posting it? I don't really have anything to add other than appreciation and shit I'm rambling and starting to sound like a bad copy of one of your characters. So this let me post something useful even if the rest isn't (in case that person hadn't seen the comic yet)
But I did want to actually put down that I appreciate your work and it's depth and beauty is really meaningful. I think it's actually made me a better person, because core to so much of it is emphathy, just basic understanding that every person has there own shit going on and to never pre-judge them over their appearance or situation. The third theoretical museum piece is honestly one of the most powerful things I've read. I cry every time I read it and I don't cry. But it's because it hits so many things that are so true. There's such a fine line between making it and not making it at life and sometimes you can't even tell which side is which. What's more important, sacrificing yourself to be in society or being the truest you and being cast out? That bit where everyone is dealing with some asshole inner voice that knows every one of your soft spots.
You have an insight into the human condition that I think is unique, and I know I discovered it exactly when I need to and I've been growing as a person ever since.
And I'm constantly blown away by the breadth of experiences you are pulling from to realistically represent so many diverse unique awesome characters.
And by how much detail you put into every square micron of the art, so many hidden gags and call-backs. I spend weeks with every comic and video trying to find everything.
And there's so much more I want to say but I'm already loosing the nerve to post even this and I've already deleted paragraphs worth of blathering praise so .... thanks and good luck. I'm really glad that you are able to do what you do and that you've been able to put words to what so many people think and feel, to give them a way to reflect on themselves. So, how's that for posts with too many words?
