Back about 12 years ago, there was this adorable anime called Tenshi Ni Narumon.  The opening song is adorable and sunny, and I could not get it out of my head when I was coloring the sky in yesterday’s Sombulus.

Maybe I’m just stupid, but I feel that Tumblr’s search feature might not work as well as it should.

WHY AM I LAUGHING SO HARD

Logo concepts I’m working on for my husband’s upcoming jungle-themed board game, Skyvale.  Trying to figure out which one I like best.

Hangout with me?

1. If you’re following me on Facebook or Twitter, you might have seen the new Sombulus vote sketch I did. I want to do a series of them, so feel free to vote and chime in with your dance and partnering suggestions! (All ships welcome - DO YOUR WORST.)

2. If you’re on Google Plus, you can now add the Sombulus page to your circles! I’m going to be doing a super-informal Google Hangout at 5PT/8ET this Thursday where you can watch me draw next week’s page, ask questions, and chat. If you haven’t done a hangout before, you should. They’re fun! Be sure to circle up and join in the fun!

3. Have I mentioned that I’m a full-time freelance graphic designer now? I am! That means I get to sing along to the radio as loud as I want because I have my own office. It’s pretty awesome.

… You’re only 21? Shit what should I say? I’m 33 this year, unemployed, celibate and my books gig don’t pay the rent for all the time I’m working on these shitters.

On retrospect, this isn’t going to make you feel better about future, isn’t it?

Okay hm.. profound and awkward quote to the rescue!

If nothing feels right, go left! Try to do something new! Experiment! Do something for fun!

that does make me feel better actually! well not really but it doesn’t make me feel worse. it’s best to be honest i think, telling someone that everything’s going to be great might make them feel better for a bit but it’s lying, sort of.

i mean one of the reasons i’m feeling shite at the moment is that i believed it when people said that i shouldn’t worry and that everything’s going to get better and that things are gonna be great, i believed all that stuff because hey, youthful optimism and all that, if i’d looked at things more realistically then i wouldn’t have done so much stupid shit i guess!

just… thanks for actually reading all my whiny shit. i really appreciate it. i hope things get better for you too~

Well I’ll be honest, life isn’t fair, life isn’t always happy or rainbow-farting unicorn.

But there will be good moments. Moments worth to have the bad part. Moment that will make you forget the bad part. Moment that will make you look in the past and told yourself “Hey, past self, WE MADE IT!”

I had a very rough moment at the beginning of the year, I still fall back for time to time, and it’s freaking HARD to think positive sometimes. But I decided to seek help. Seriously, find someone that could at least listen. Someone that will help you.

And do something you like. You mention you start working on your comic again? Are you still trying to reboot it? There is the mango next month, you’re in?

Seconding that. I’ve always loved your artwork Froggy and your comic is uberawesomeness, one of the most unique webcomics I’ve come across in a long time. You should come party with us in the Mango and the Grove :) Bring your pickle XD

What they said!  We miss you in Mangoland!  <3
