And ur like is it going to be like this forever. Surely people get smarter with age, no? This adult must just be particularly stupid. I can look around and see women picking up rocks all the time and it’s fine.

And then u get older and it’s like no full grown adults think if a woman finds a cool rock she should get a man to grab it for her lest she reduce herself to some kind of gender nonconforming freak and develop Rock Hands (terminology for a vibe women who hold rocks have)

Thank YOU for reading Your Green Palm in Mine!

Scroll down to see the original attempt at this drawing I did back in August, a day or two before I started production on the comic!

Past few weeks have been a blur and I have neglected posting on Tumblr. Whoops! I’ll try to get back on that. In the same breath, I’ve been taking a well deserved break from drawing and posting.

I don’t really remember what I already have written regarding my sappy feelings about making this comic… but I’ll try to cover new ground. I was at my absolute worst when I started the production of YGPIM- without getting too much into it, it was very much a “I’ll do something to fill the time before my set date I plan to leave this world” kinda project. I had been going through an intense health flare, I was in pain, and too weak to move or accomplish much. My garden was a failure as I couldn’t maintain it, and the realization the dreams I had would never be attainable absolutely broke me. I could never seem to finish my art, much less write anything… so why was I here. I’d never impact anyone because I believed I was incapable of creating anything.

But yet, here I am. I made a webcomic! I FINISHED A WEBCOMIC! I FINISHED IT IN EIGHT MONTHS? I’ve impacted countless people, my health has turned up! I run, I garden, I go out with my wonderful friends, I cook, I sew, I play with my dog, I live! I’m alive!! I never expected all this to happen, especially at my worst. But here I am! Here we are!

So thank you, all of you. For everything. It’ll be a bit before I touch comics again- my summers are busy. But I hope to return to them this fall.
