Is the point of the book that there's no point to the "narrative" and she's just venting and getting stuff out of her chest? it's fine if that's it but there're lots of mixed signals regarding that, specially towards the end.

>it's yet another comic made by a firstoid pretending to suffer
At least the art was decent this time around
This is the same as that one """lonely lesbian""" comic right
There's like 5 comics with that premise
yes, but they probably mean author's previous work I dunno
If it's true, this alone is more interesting than her works. It's not like it's all that rare tho, probably happens to every other author.
I wonder how it works. No way he agreed for just one time thing. So, like, "you come here every Saturday for few months and I will think about publishing your book"?
Who the hell even needs this if you can have Kickstarter, Patreon and simps from Insta/Twitter? Unless she was looking for that, ofc))
She did frick some disgusting single dad junkie. I still can't believe she flew across the Atlantic, just to spend a week with that dude. He must have a great messaging "game".
I know one that had the lesbian end up with a guy
>the lesbian end up with a guy
cap
Its the autobiographical comic by Erika Moen, called Dar or something
You must be at least 18 to post here.
Depression can take many forms and in her case there's a certain egoistic side to it where she's self centered and she can only think about her problems and her issues and her state hence the entire punch of the book It's lonely at the center of the earth because when you're so blind to everything but your own shitty state of mind you get "protagonist syndrome" so you feel like you're the center of everything so the realization isn't that things magically fix themselves out of nowhere and you have to try hence "... but I'm trying not to live there anymore"
>Depression
Literally doesn't exist
It was made up by people with no problems so they could feel like victims
You're moronic, we have documentary evidence of the same set of symptoms stretching back at the very least as far as the Ancient Greeks, and has been observed in other animals as well (hamsters and guinea pigs in particular are often suicidally depressed due to neglect). It's a psychological response to having repressed or otherwise failed to address your emotions, pushing the individual to withdraw from the caveman campfire to avoid distraction and sort out their issues. Only issue is it doesn't always work properly, and so it causes spiralling, isolating behaviour where it snowballs hard.
The reason why it appears to be overrepresented in firstoids is a mix of having better tools to survive without breaking isolation - when you can order in food and other necessary supplies without ever interacting with another human face to face, that isolation is never challenged by human contact which may have instead drawn out the unaddressed emotions and resolved the depressive episode. Also unmitigated access to social media where one can scream into the void and receive artificial dopamine/serotonin for their actions, still failing to resolve the issue, but allowing them to publicly self-medicate into a slightly more functional state (even if it makes them seem like a whiny moron like the author of the graphic novel in OP).
I understand where you're coming from anon but understand that you're toeing the line of ignorance in a manner that courts repression to save face yourself, risking developing the same shitty behaviours as well. Out of everyone, it's the people who insist on not treating self-expression and mental health with any gravity who quickly plummet hardest into mental illness. You're already showing signs of it by posturing unprompted about how you don't believe in it on a mongolian potpourri smuggling forum, doing the same grandstanding self-expression you shit on firstoids for doing.
Take care bro.
>life as a conventionally attractive upper middle class white woman in the west is hard
>all these creepy replies
Can't you freaks feel empathy?
Related to George Thorogood?
She would start an onlyfans if boomer comic creators weren't already simping for her and giving her jobs and awards just because her looks.
Sexist a-hole
Heard she fricked a married man to get this book published
What now
Yep, it's all true
Well what happened, with who
>I'm... le sad!
>gets 5 eisner awards
It's so easy to write a critically acclaimed comic
What's your excuse, Cinemaphile?
>I am not American
>I am not a hot chick
>I can't fricking draw
The second one is probably the most important, because no one would give a frick if it was written by 40 yo Carl
Nonsense, female privilege is a lie perpetuated by jealous moids
i'd read a comic writen by a sad 40 year old
Look up Harvey Pekar's work, specifically American Splendor. He got other artists to illustrate his autobio ideas. Critically acclaimed. Even got a film adaptation out of it.
pretty sure Pekar was personal friends with the people he got to draw American Splendor
She's Br*tish
cute girl publishes book about how depressed she is, the cover shows her cute butt...yeah
Those married men she banged are so lucky
are you implying she fricked the guys who own Image, like Mcferlaine and Erik Larsen???? cuz thats who published the book.
It's one of the best kept secrets in the industry
sure. and somehow YOU know it
would
I wanna look up her other works.
Her art is creative as hell.
And the bit of literally restarting the comic was fun.
she is gonna be doing Life is Strange and that book about the goth girls who kill killers whats the name.

Western indie comics are such a fricking joke.
