"Sexiest Cheese"

The next book is probably going to be another Scalzi as well.

There are a few patrons in this strip! Two of them want to be mentioned.

Ronda Topp Orda-Bottom asking me about books. They're a burlesque dancer with an Instagram that you should follow.

Attorney Khan-Avila sitting to my left. They are an amazing immigration lawyer with an Instagram that you should be following.

If you would like to have a cameo in Been Better, become a patron!

"A Verified Friend"

Algorithms can be discouraging, but I promise that your friends still like you.

"Post To Peri"

It was great escaping reality for a few days.

My liver didn't get to escape the consequences of my actions though.

"A Bit of Trauma"

Covid changed my life forever.

I still wear my mask often. I still think I'm getting back to socializing normally. My anxiety has never gotten back to normal. Too many of my friends died during that "bit of trauma".

And it's not over. No matter what people say or feel.

"A Specific Martian"

I really wish that my brain would've went with Marvin the Martian, but it kept going back to Mars Attacks.

There's a patron in this strip!

That's Kink Wizard Minis. You should definitely follow their Instagram.

"Do The Hornpipe"

Before working on this project, I had no idea who John Durang is. Now I've seen so many damn videos of people playing "Durang's Hornpipe".

Hell, I even learned that theater was banned in the U.S.. These performances were called lectures.

"Join The Fight"

Pride Month is a damn good time to be active as an ally.

"Ruled Murderable"

I could not find out how old the kid was. One day I'll be able to find out.

Little bit of trivia. There's a movie that was loosely based on Deburau's life, Les Enfants du Paradis. The background of this strip is sort of based on an image from that film.

Tempted to see this movie. But that would depend entirely on how clowny it is.
