Y'know, when I started Shrimp Fried Riot back in 2005 or so, I had no idea that it would eventually turn into my life story in comic form.
But, 13 years, a title change and a shitload of catharsis later, here we are.
I am making these things, because I initially wanted to end the comic and maybe do something different.
I thought of 3 different ideas for where to take this, and, like the glutton for punishment that I am, I may just run with all 3 ideas.
Not only that, but, the closer I get to the final comic, the more stuff I want to say, and more issues that I have rehashed need to be put into the comic.
On the positive side, I may never end this comic.
On the negative side, I MAY NEVER END THIS COMIC!
Anywho… I think I just figured out the place in my life where it all started to go downhill.
Right around the time I abandoned my childhood nickname.

Interesting thing about choosing your name, it's your choice. Almost all of us go through life with a name someone else picked out for us.

Very true. I've talked to others who've done it, as well, and most of them made the same mistake I did - changing your name to something somewhat similar to your old name so as not to 'confuse' your friends and family. You may as well have not done it at ALL! Still, lucky for me my real issue was the FAMILY name, moreso than my first name. That's what needed to change.

Well, we'll see what comes of it. God knows I have enough comics projects already.
