Because I still don’t understand how posting on Substack works…
…I’m posting this on my “notes” as well, please forgive me.
It’s been quite a year, folks.
I’ve learned quite a bit about family and friends — mostly that I depend on their love and support than I’d realized. That’s the gift this horrible year has given me, which makes me grateful beyond words. I’ve also learned when sick I’m utterly out of control of my body, including my brain. It’s not the pancreatic cancer, which is in remission, it’s all the follow-up sh*t I’ve experienced after the surgery that removed the tumor kicking my ass. The unpredictable nature of it makes dealing with it tough. Some days I feel great and think I’m fully recovering. Other days, wham. Even on the good days, I have occasional bouts of sh*ttiness and depression. Which makes it difficult to keep this Substack even remotely up to date.
Why am I sharing this with you? Because it’s one of my good days and I want to remind folks who might be going through something similar that they aren’t alone, and there is an upside to this crap. Family and friends will reveal themselves and stand beside you.
Nothing else matters, really.
I wrote a longer comment on a previous post- but thank you for sharing this and I'll never be able to thank you enough for the years of wonderful stories. Best writer in comics IMHO.
You’re really too kind— I’m gratified my work made you happy.
