I learned today is Make a Terrible Comic Day! So here is my entry.

Forgive me, I'm a pastor's son and an educator. I can't help being preachy.

Transcript below in case you can't read my handwriting.

P1: Artu in a PRIDEMONTH tank top points at the reader saying, "Hey you."

P2: "Remember that self-acceptance is a radical act in a world that demands conformity to unrealistic standards."

P3: Drawings of a muscular man and buxom woman with Artu pointing saying, "Cool, but not for me." Above the drawing is the text: "The world wants you to sell you their version of your best self, but you're the only yourself there is. You have the power to decide what you want in life. Don't give it up freely."

P4: Artu wearing the progress pride flag as a cape and the MLM flag pattern as a shirt. "Shame is how they control you. Counteract it with PRIDE."

P5: "You owe no one their imagined version of you. You are and that is enough." Beneath the text is a kangaroo on a crutch missing a lower left leg, a fat roo, an hourglass shaped roo, and a roo in a wheelchair.

P6: "You've only got so much time on Earth. You deserve to enjoy as much of that time as possible, and so does everyone else!" Beneath this text Artu is wearing a shirt that says SICKO and has a sinister smile while drawing two guys kissing. He says "I must draw gay animal men, make comics and spread leftist ideology!"

P7: "You are worthy of respect, as is everyone. Respect yourself as you respect your friends. Be your own friend. Show yourself kindness. You deserve it." Beneath this text, Artu hugs himself. The back of his shirt reads "WE ARE LEGION".

P8: "It's your life. Do what you want with it. This internet kangaroo just suggests you live in a way you can feel proud of when you look back at it down the road." Artu shrugs in a shirt that says "just a guy", with the U crossed out and replaced with an A.
