One of my projects at the time was illustrating a book about suicide, The Next Day, for the Canadian publisher Pop Sandbox. As I trimmed the pages to size, I found myself with ninety-one 2\\\" x 6\\\" scraps of Bristol board. They looked perfect for a comic strip, so I began drawing upon them one little diary comic per day. I tried not to censor myself (though sometimes I still did), but to just let the ink spill without preconception or prejudice. What follows are those comics. I hope you enjoy them more than I enjoyed making them!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtists \u0026amp; Writers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(W\/A\/CA) Porcellino, John\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Uncivilized Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43907084058815,"sku":"0622UB849","price":12.77,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/59d7c8fd-de0b-4152-85d3-a18b24628f05.jpg?v=1734260188","url":"https:\/\/popweasel.co.nz\/products\/south-beloit-journal-one-shot","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
