Have you ever seen your reflection in a dream? I did recently. I looked at a piece of tinted glass, and saw a silhouette. My hair was pushed up in the front, and for some reason, I had bandages on my face, visible in the dim light.
As far back as I can remember, the mental image I have of myself barely resembles my actual face. That's pretty much how I came to design Jake. He and I are two sides of the same worn-out penny. And his personality? That's everything that I am, or would be, in a consequence-free environment. Like dreams. And fiction.
There's this guy I work with who occasionally reads this comic. Every week, it seems, he says to me, "What is up with your latest comic?" What's that tell me? It tells me I failed to make a conventional comic strip. It's not always about laughs; it's about reactions. And that's fine by me.
See you next time. Oh, and BTW, I saved Destructive Fiction before it expired. Thanks for voting, and thanks even more for reading.
