This comics rings so true! It reminds me of a substack post I read recent about clamming up in the doctor’s office. Why do we go silent when we need to speak up? I’m looking forward to seeing more.
I think we feel such a desire to belong, that we don't want to other ourselves. The moment one person speaks up, it becomes much easier for anyone else to say something. Of course, at the doctor's we're usually alone with the doctor.
Nice! I get the idea of sharing it as a series of comics here on Substack, seeing how you feel drawing it, and hearing what readers think. You can look at this as your first draft and edit or redraw pages later if you choose to make a book.
Thanks Khalid! Yes, that sounds like a plan. I was getting very nervous to start sharing this already, then it occurred to me that anything you publish online can quite easily be altered :D
I can relate very much! I tried introducing more waste separation at lunch time but it was all considered too hard for the kids/ take too much effort for the teachers… Luckily I found a few other greenie mums at my kids’ school so we can be the weirdos together. It certainly helps!
