"Bleeding Ink" is a webcomic that I have returned to only at the worst periods of my life. My unemployed twenties, my mother's cancer, and now the hunger games of 2020. And if ever there was a time that I needed to cope and laugh, it has been in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of 2020.
This year, with no constancy at all, I have drawn in comic strip form the little scene-lets of my own experiences with the pandemic, but through the eyes of Bleeding Ink's lead character, Horus Flowerchild. It has been an invaluable therapy tool. I am using a traditional pen and ink, with tone sheets and digital color.
I am very pleased to share the 2020-themed comics with my fellow Pandas.
If you enjoy these, please feel free to read the whole Bleeding Ink series, Covid and non-Covid-related, at the comic's website. Or you can follow all of my work, comics, and film on my Instagram.
Happy New Year, everyone!

Worth It
I no longer hug my mom, I fear if I do I will just fall apart & have a nervous breakdown. Gotta keep up the brave face

correct me if I'm wrong, and please don't downvote, but you DO know that's a cat, right?
Load More Replies...I wish my cat would cuddle. But she's progressed to the point that she will lie on my lap for a few hours, facing away from me.
I desperately want a cat. I got one May 2018 and, 5 days later, I'm checking into the hospital because my lungs are so swollen it feels like they were packed with cotton. Did an allergy test. Turns out I developed an allergy to cats as an adult. And dogs. And birds. And anything that doesn't slither or swim. I don't want a pet that slithers or swims. I WANT A CAT! So lonely. . . .
I used to have two cats, but I've had to give one up for adoption because the fighting became unmanageable (tried everything. Cat behavior therapist. Everything) It has broken my heart - but now there is finally peace in my home. And my remaining cat does nothing but cuddle. It's bittersweet.
And Then The Protests Began...

I just find it funny that half of World's population treat toilet paper as the holy grail without which they can't live, & the other half don't even use it.

Introvert Memes
No extroverts just whine in real life constantly at how introverts got it so good or how we can remain so silent & collected?? Or constantly pressurizing us into convo. But ya angry meme sounds good. It's traumatizing to hear people screech on a daily basis.
It's Over! (But Not Really)
