adventurin’
Monday, June 11th, 2007sorry about the lack of updates, my brother and I traded places and he is now living in Napa and I’m living in San Francisco for a week or so, and my internet access is sporatic. If you’ve emailed me in the last week (or any time for that matter) and I didn’t answer, my apologies if I hurt your internet feelings.
this comic is from a notebook I keep where I record the things I do everyfuckingday, normally I don’t show any of them but I’m going to start showing a few of them every so often since I dont have much time to make new, fancier comics.

That sounds like a compleatly awesome good time.

That last panel made my day.
Thanks for sharing!

I say the same thing you said in page 3, panel 3. I say it a lot. Why am I drawing little cartoons of hoboes and robots and pirates and comic books no one reads. I play video games too much, I don’t help out my family, I’m lazy and wishy-washy.
Then I play with my kids a little and it’s all better.
I’m glad you found that view, people would be sad not being able to read these.

Skyline Park is the greatest place. I can get you into the mine next time if you want to go. It’s pretty boring.
Oh, your comics are not dumb…you may be all those other things, but your comcs are not dumb.

even thou you realized your life is good this comic is so sad.
there’s this mount near my house and sometimes when i want to be alone i just go there with a bottle of wine and stay looking at the city below.

sounds awesome; no need to complain at all.

This stuff is really cool.
The comics I enjoy most let you into the head of the author. More sketchbook crap!!

My favorite part is the hair on the scan. Way to make it 3D, Julia!
I’ve been loving the comix you sent, by the way. I’ve linked you on my other site, superdilettante.com, which I’m remodeling right now.

Team Atrox lives at the base of Runyon Canyon in the Hollywood Hills. I have started leaving myself notes reminding me that every time I climb up there I feel guaranteed two hundred percent better about myself and the world (despite the sometimes alarmingly enhanced smog view).
I’m so sorry that mean truck driver accused you of being a child. Also, that is hilarious.

There are worse lives to live - enjoy it while it’s there to be enjoyed. You’re 24 years old, there’s still plenty of time left to grow up… I’m 37 and haven’t gotten to it yet, but I’ll start at some point I imagine.

Lucky. I hate mine.

I’m not sure…but my comments are not being displayed. I don’t *think* I said anything wrong?
Anyway, I was saying that your comics are not dumb and this is NOT a sad comic.
I think it speaks to one of those moments when one thinks about what is good and not-so-good about what’s happening in a life and you decide that despite lots of crap, it’s a pretty good life. One of those (this is gonna sound corny) counting your blessings moments. As if you are choosing to make that designation.
Just a thought.

What you need is a little bit of MoCCA. After that weekend youll be so sick of people hanging out with you that youll be running back to your mountain for some solitude.

I turn 21 next week. It’s weird how unaccomplished you can feel when you’re so (relatively) young. I seem to be going on a lot of those “why am I only doing X” walks nowadays. Life is good, you just have to take advantage.

I’m 41. The only thing that I can say is that there will always be self-doubt among the introspective among us. I’m a principal software engineer for a multi-million dollar international high-tech firm. Still, I doubt my abilities. Still, I’m not happy with portions of my life.
That won’t change. And that’s a good thing, because a perfect life does not provide any artistic fuel. It would make you boring, frankly.
So, keep doing what you’re doing. People like it. Just don’t become a star. You’re only as good as your next comic, your next book, your next idea. Stay hungry.
And, every once in a while, just get away from it all and have some adventures.

ah, nuthin’ like a good old reflective comic to stir up the empathy of the internet…my only advice is that we all grow a pair & go hiking in the woods more often.

oh, it was this year, I just fucked up on the date. so, I’m the stupid one.
June 13th, 2007 at 8:53 am
Well, not only was your comic reflective, but I got a case of colitis this past weekend and was in the hospital with a camera up my ass. It kinda gets one thinking. LOL
(It was a Sony, too. I still don’t know how they got it up there.)
Anyway, keep up the good work.

in art, it is never a fuck up, it’s artistic license!!!!
