I was laid off in August 2019. I was sad. Very sad. so I began to write these comics—one after the other. They helped me shine a light on how I was feeling and turn a shitty situation into something productive. For the next year, I wrote one comic every day, looking at sadness as an opportunity rather than an infliction.

Granted, I did not expect things to get even sadder—2020 provided me with endless material... but damn, was it sad.

When I reached day 365, I took a break. I was not sure if I would continue, but eventually, I decided to expand the theme to encompass all of the thoughts, feelings, hopes, and dreams that I experience on a daily basis.

You can follow me on Instagram or buy the book "Oh boy I am sad," which includes the first 365 days (and then some) on Amazon.

In the best-case scenario, they help someone feel better. In the worst-case scenario, they help me feel better.

Much love,

Josh.

I may get down voted, but..... dont worry about the big stuff. It's a tub of warm water that makes you feel better. That's all that really matters. Yes, you should enjoy the small things that make you feel better. "Whatever gets you through the night" John Lennon

Dead people always are the luckiest ones because they do not feel the horrible pain of living anymore.

This can be so discouraging when you try to make a positive change and then "as usual" it all goes so wrong. Just makes you want to give up and hide. Sure, but not for too long, or you'll get comfortable with it. "No matter how many times I get knocked down I will get up again. I will never quit" Navy Seal Ethos
