Meet Sam. Sam stands for Socially Awkward Misfit, the name of my webcomic that is loosely based on my own life. Here are some comic strips I've made about the struggles with social anxiety.
Socially Awkward Misfit is drawn from my own experiences in life, such as struggling with social anxiety, and issues relating to introversion and being socially awkward.

I've been creating comics for as long as I remember. Inspired by comics such as The Beano, Garfield, and Viz, I've been creating my own comic characters since I was a kid. I later ended up drawing a few comic strips for The Beano and Viz.

I draw whenever I feel inspired. This tends to be in the evening or night...sometimes well into the early hours! I usually draw while listening to music or funny podcasts.
The challenges I have had with social anxiety and depression have prevented me from being more productive, particularly when creating my animated cartoons. But I have found the more I do it, the more confident I have become.

The most rewarding part of creating comics has been the feedback from lots of people who say they can relate to the issues in my cartoons, and it is heartwarming to hear that it has helped them to know they don't feel alone in this world.

Brains could use some upgrading to overwrite some memories and defragmentation could be useful as well.

So you had a camera inside my head the whole time? Thanks for making these... it is oddly mmm validating.

VERY good start. Even the old jokes and groaners (slept like a baby, communication skills, mistaking something for a song title) were done so well that they were quite enjoyable. The drawing style looks simple while appealing. With a slightly broader topic (a socially anxious guy vs a social anxiety), and a secondary character (a roommate? A parent? This guy strikes me as someone who would talk to his cat, even if the cat wasn't a talking cat), I think this could be a published, professional strip. It's good enough as it is, in fact, but I suspect it'd be hard to come up with that much material.
