Wow, that was... really deep! I think I remember you, but I guess I can't find your exact comic to remind myself.
I tried to do the webcomic thing in 2005 (Ganalath the Extraordinary, also dead and gone but reposted on Tumblr) and got through a year (I think?) before I had a falling out with the writer. It was pretty sad because we had such big hopes for it, but I ended up dating and then marrying the website managing guy, and we recently made the move to Minneapolis (what led me to pull your comic up) so he can go to school. I am hoping to go back to school too, and keep up these weird practical dreams of becoming a licensed architect. It's really funny sometimes what little things we do that really impact our lives in the biggest ways!
But yeah, instead of making me laugh, you daily comic is making me think and reminisce and I think we're in a good place, you and I. :D Thanks for the awesome comic today!
And I'll totally watch out for your new work.

I really liked how you put your hourlies together. Excellent use of post-it notes.  _________________ More comics can be found right over here: http://thesesweetmemories.wordpress.com/ |

Thanks. It wasn't scripted, and the train of thought started on my morning commute before I even remembered it was HCD. So that was about as organic and free flowing I get. I'm a bit embarrassed by it, but my wife approved of it's authenticity, so I guess if it got past her critical net, it was okay to share. |

I was a little curious what others were getting out of this (it seems too personal to be relevant), but I've gotten a few emails from people just wanting to share their own stories about the past. I feel less weird about dumping out my brain now. |

Don't feel weird! I would expect that to have taken some bravery, dumping out how you feel like that. It was really quite depressing, but not in a bad way. I'm really glad that you're happy, and really sad that things haven't turned out like you wanted [so far!]. For what it's worth, I have Blank It on an RSS feed and my girlfriend and I have loved it. I hope your happiness does continue, and that you do eventually get what you were/are looking for out of your comics.
Thanks a lot for sharing that. It was really deep, and you don't seem like a hack at all. |

I recognized Blankit more than HotSoup, which I suppose could be seen as a good sign -- you're still doing great things, with much potential. Blankit is awesome and unique. Rock on. _________________ My HCD 2014
