Let’s Take A Trip/Let’s Say Goodnight

the last chapter of miriam beach was originally going to be longer, but i’m finding that i’m no longer able to meet my own standards, so i think this is finally it for miriam beach, like, indefinitely. thanks so much for reading my comic and sticking with me through my ongoing battle with anxiety and depression.

i wish i could stay with these characters and give them the stories they deserve, but i think continuing this webcomic is just not in the cards for me at this point. i hope you understand this decision or, failing that, respect it.

i was a little surprised by how much this comic seemed to resonate with readers, especially since it was a college senior project that mutated from a domestic AU of a dungeons & dragons podcast (a fact i don’t love to advertise, because i believe and hope miriam beach has become comfortably its own thing, but i can’t leave without acknowledging the massive creative debt i owe to the mcelroy family. a million thank yous, mcelroys). but i think miriam beach was a lot more than just that, not just to me, but to at least—and this may be a very liberal estimate—several dozen others.

besides my readers, i’d also like to thank my academic advisors, chris perry and michele hardesty, as well as another mentor i had at hampshire, thomas haxo. i’ve missed you all in the year we’ve been apart. thank you for your encouragement, your guidance, and your support.

i want to continue writing and making comics. maybe with other characters, maybe (eventually) with these characters again, but i need some time to get my life in order. i love you all so, so much.

follow me on twitter here (or here, if you like non-stop posts about whatever sitcom or cartoon i’m obsessed with this week), and if you want, you can make a small one-time donation at ko-fi.com/brentraptor or commission me via twitter DM or email ([email protected]).

Let’s Have A Talk!

heads up: this chapter is gonna be the last for a while!

as a recent college graduate and first-time adult, i’m suddenly having to contend with a lot of new challenges at once. it’s no secret that i struggle with anxiety—i worry that the stress of doing my comic on top of everything has started to negatively affect my health.

i’m not doing this because i want to, believe me. but something had to give. i don’t know when “season 2” will be coming, but in between i’m hoping to do a little halloween special.
