So, sorry it’s just a food post again, but here’s the deal. Persona 3 for PSP was released today, and I walked through a flash thunderstorm to get my preorder copy, and made the mistake of turning it on at 7pm thinking, oh, I will just watch the opening cutscene and then I will draw comics. That turned into a few hours of gameplay, which is highly irresponsible of me, but I have an unnatural affection for this game. Unnatural! :)
And anyway, I have been wrestling with a comic that I’d really like to do and it’s not coming very easily. Basically what I’ve been struggling with lately is how to sort out what I want out of this project. Do I want to lose weight more? Do I want to gain some sort of acceptance of myself more? Are these goals mutually dependent, or maybe even mutually exclusive? Can I learn to love myself if I keep focusing on the scale? If I accept my body as it is, will I lose any motivation to keep losing weight? As it turns out, this kind of headache doesn’t translate well to a one-page funny.
Why can’t I fit all of my existential turmoil into the boundaries of a comic book panel?
