The Mental Health All-Stars. I’ve never shared this as one full image on Instagram, just in edited chunks. I wanted there to be a more condensed version out there - I keep seeing it around with legs chopped off or other bits removed because the original is just a bit too big for this format. I also haven’t posted this again (or about it?) since it first got popular earlier this year. Here’s the short version of the story: this comic went up at the end of April and I remember being a little unsure if I had done a good enough job getting the message across. Within a few days it had blown up on Twitter and Facebook, way, way, way beyond my control. Way beyond my normal reach. Soon there were memes of it, there were long debates ongoing in the thread comments, over 60k people ended up sharing it. I got dozens and dozens of emails from counsellors, psychiatrists, and other healthcare workers who either wanted a print or just wanted to pass along some kind words. Both platforms combined, I think the comic reached around 8 million people. Normally my comics reach less than 1% of that number. Briefly, the heartfelt response to this comic is something that is beyond anything I had imagined possible. If anyone sent love in our direction after seeing this please know that it was received. Some of the messages that were sent, some of the stories we received, I’ll never forget. They warmed my heart, truly. If anyone wonders why one element or another might be missing from this comic, I’ll say this: the message is not at all meant to be exclusive or comprehensive. I could make three more designs all with new characters and every one of them would/could be integral for someone in their own experience. If your all-stars also include medication, recognition, community, respect, etc. that is just as valid as any other combination. No less. Finally - I should mention we just re-opened the print store from vacation and added another run of this guy. Large-size 12”x18” available now @ honeydill.storenvy.com.

I STAND, I DASH. To support the comic and to see more stuff check out the Honey Dill Patreon page 🙃 (link in bio).

Feels like a million years ago I made this comic, but really just two. It’s fun making something in this format even if I don’t do it that often. Scroll back through this account if you wanna see a small handful of short stories featuring the King of Pies. This was the very first one and the inspiration for the first Honey Dill book cover. OH AND ALSO: have you heard the news about my Patreon?? The link is in my bio if you wanna see what it’s all about. Maybe YOU (points finger through screen) will be the next Honey Dill supporter.

The coffee spins a web of lies all in the name of appetite suppression. Seriously, the day after I made this comic I didn’t eat a thing until the afternoon cause y’know I was well caffeinated. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #coffee #comics #webcomics #comix #webcomic #cartoon #draw #drawing #instadraw #work #caffeine

I tried developing this into a full coloured comic but it was always funniest in this first sketch version. Something I’ve had to learn over time: if adding more technical detail makes the comic less funny, I’m going in the wrong direction. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #comics #webcomics #comix #webcomic #cartoon #draw #drawing #illustration #doodle #tattoo #ink #tattooideas
