You can actually read more about my struggles with this comic's inception within that post, which I would encourage you to do. The four and a half months between then and now that I worked on this intermittently were fairly protracted; marked with self-doubt, questioning, and uncertainty about whether it was worth seeing through to the end.</p></div><div><br></div>\n<div><p>The last six pages were the hardest to get done. I think that by the time I got that far, I'd ran out of mileage that \"doing it for myself\" could grant me, which gave way to questioning whether I did it right, and if anybody would even understand what it was I tried to say with this comic, never mind relating to or appreciating it.</p></div><div><br></div>\n<div><p>In any case; I did do it, and it's the biggest project I've taken on in many years now, which is quite the achievement. It feels good to bring it to a close, rather than giving up as I've felt tempted to do from the moment I had the idea.</p></div><div><br></div>\n<div><p>I'm proud of this piece.</p></div><div><br></div>\n<div><p>I hope you like it; but if not, no worries.
