maybe you stalked me and stole my story!

Sounds like you and I were in 6th grade at around the same time – it was neat seeing your mentions of the way things were in the world at the time.

Best wishes, for you and yours, and you and your family are lucky you can remember something of what it was like to be a kid. I think most people forget, or paint everything over with new memories.

Although the circumstances were entirely different, this has reminded me of so many of my experiences at that age that I had filed away in the back of my brain. It genuinely reminded me what it’s like to be a kid again.. The child-like drawing style is just perfect too!

Thank you, thank you, thank you

So thanks for ruining my wank, but at least you had to decency to make it worth it. I’m really glad I got to read your thoroughly enjoyable and well written comic book.

Cheers.

School can be so difficult for young people. You found a great way to help them.

I’m showing this to every educator and young person I know.

Love your art as well. Spontaneous with lots of positive energy. Ilook forward to seeing more by you.

Best wishes for all possible success.

I hope things with the cephalopod work out just right!

I’m glad there are people out there that really want to take care of their family and not just brush everything under the rug.

some people may think of my childhood as child abuse, (I really don’t get that [prolly cause I learned about sex at 5) but there was nothing I couldn’t ask and he’d give me a 2 hour lecture on what he knew about it. (he’s a super nerd)

It can be a good exercise to reflect on trying times you experienced with the purpose to appreciate who you are now. Not to mention to be able to relate to someone who now may be going through something similar (ie your son).

I loved the attention and care I received from my parents when I was a child. They wouldn’t talk down to me (or my brothers) because I was in the 6th grade and a youngin’. Rather they’d share who they were. It made them into real people to know about some of their life when they were growing up.

kudos on the tongue n cheek comic; its a good mix of humour and poignant moments.

Also, braces are terrible, terrible things indeed.

I got my ass kicked frequently by a bully in middle school. My parents told me to fight back if the teachers won’t do anything, which they didn’t. Instead of listening to them, I took a punch in the gut and forced some tears to get the phy ed teacher’s attention and got the kid suspended for a week. I never got bullied again.

I was a socially awkward kid that got bullied for nearly everything, never worked up the guts to ask a girl out until college, drew cartoons quietly to myself and did average in school. Now I’m basically the same but found out that I have Kallman’s Syndrome and I can look back and laugh at the silly things kids used to do to me (especially since they mostly flunked out of high school and I am doing well for myself )

I am glad you have worked out your medical issues and have grown up to be just fine. If you had asked me, I would tell you that I have grown up fine, too & am even glad for having had braces and growing up in a town that had public transportation. I have a great relationship with my parents & two beautiful children. But since you didn’t ask, it makes me think you maybe you spend a lot of time being critical of other people based on your own biases. ? I’m just guessing, tho.

I haven’t shared this whole book with my son, and probably won’t at this time, since he’s on vacation for a couple of months & I’m not sure he is interested in censorship or issues surrounding power and control in adult relationships. On another site someone commented, “if I was in 6th grade I would think this book sucks” and for the most part, I agree with that.

Thanks for your input.

Thank you for being weird with us.
