Comic Transcripts

WHITLEY: A lot of companies spend a lot of money to convince us that THEIR product will finally make our messed-up selves NORMAL.

WHITLEY: But THERE IS NO NORMAL!
It’s a false construct! There’s no single person in the world who is “normal!”

WHITLEY: EVERYBODY’S alone.
EVERYBODY’S hurting.
And aspiring to some mythical “normality” is holding us back from dealing with our problems on their own terms.

BART: I’m not alone. I’m not hurting. In fact, I feel perfectly content!
WHITLEY: FREAK!

It was an important trip for me, a milestone in what would go on to become my career.

I wrote a little reminiscence on Patreon (free/unlocked) — including a first-since-then reprint of the photocomics I made at the time, documenting the trip!
