Gimme Five - Senses in comics

Comics are a one-sense medium. Or web comics are, at least. I suppose print comics have a physical touch sensation, as my ink-stained and paper-cutted fingers can attest.

The year 2016 was not as horrible as some people thought it to be. I did go through some personal changes that might not be seen as monumental in the wide scope of the world. I have always been a true romantic–a label given to me by an English ...

Pit's massive gaping rut

Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, July 17, 2016



I've come to the realization today that stagnancy KILLS me. Not literally, but it sucks the energy right out of my being. Never do I feel SO mortal as when there aren't any immediate prospects on the horizon. This isn't any surprise, that's what happens to ...
