417. too much power

9/26/12

Sometimes, I drink and draw.

I’m not proud of it, but it happens.

That’s where the new logo for the site came from. I was sitting there Saturday and all of a sudden this whisper of a memory hit me and I was like “I think I drew something last night.. and I think I put it on the website.”

Lo and behold, we got a new logo up there. What of it?

Today’s comic, it’s a dead horse but we keep beating the shit out of it. Adam’s young, I’m chubby, and Kevin’s short. He’s not that short.. just short enough to be insecure about it.

So I keep making comics to fuel the complex he already has.

Strangely enough, I’ve been going to the chiropractor for a couple of weeks now and today we started talking about insecurities. He said that the question had once been posed to him if he could fix his biggest insecurity but it would take years off of his life, would he do it?

It’s an interesting question.

I think deep down we almost need to have something that we’re insecure about. It drives us. Keeps us humble in some instances, and makes us assholes in others.

Long story short, I think if someone could fix their biggest insecurity, they’d just replace it with another one.

That being said, if I could knock off the last five years of my life or so, not spending them in a retirement home in order to spend the majority of my life completely confident..

No.. I still think I’d take the extra few years over a little bit more self esteem.

And honestly, if I wasn’t insecure or neurotic about anything.. I’d run out of comic material in a matter of days.
