Hi, my name is William. I am from the USA and live and teach in South Korea. I have been drawing one comic every day since October 2013.

I have been into cartoon drawings since I was a kid and have always wanted to be a cartoonist. Greats like Bill Watterson (who made one of the best comics - Calvin and Hobbes) have always inspired me to make art that was creative and meaningful.

A lot of people ask me how I come up with my ideas. Sometimes, I get inspiration from my everyday problems or experiences, conversations with friends. Other times I have a sudden thought that I write down to use later. Typically, I just start working, and a drawing idea naturally comes to me.

Although I am inspired by many other talented artists, I try to make only original daily comics and only use my own style. It is not easy! One thing I really enjoy doing is playing with color.

My process for these relatable comics is to take out my drawing tablet, sit down, and start drawing. I know it doesn't sound very exciting, but routine works for me.

I wish for my webcomics to connect to others in a way that makes them realize that we all feel much of the same ups and downs in life. In this way, we are all human. I hope you like them!

Excellent point. "others" do not make you happy - that stuff comes from within. Do not externally validate as your sole means of self-worth.

    Reminds me of a family-member-in-law. They complain, then use that complaint as a reason to not be considerate or help others out - instead using it as a platform to complain more. When others ask "How can we help this issue - I can help you get the help you need" they flat out make up more excuses to NOT get help... then they end up disliking the person who dared to offer help in the first place (pick any issue. Anything. chipped toenail. Allergies. Doesn't have a shirt they like, etc. Anything.)

    Some sensitive blobs are 'made'. I had a parent that refused to socialize me around other people when I was young. That anxiety of not knowing the right social cues and being on the spot all time got transformed into 'you're too sensitive'. Perfectly normal feelings to have for the circumstance got gaslighted. This will be drilled into you at such a young age you might not undersand it happening.

    But sometimes people are to proud or shy to accept help if you're only asking, so in some cases you need to just jump in. But I guess you will have to get a feeling of the situation before taking a decision on jumping in or just asking. A few weeks ago a guy and his wife struggled in over one hour to get their boat into shore. We were close and are used to sailing, so we asked them if they needed any help but the guy said it was cool, which it was clearly not. In that situation we should have just jumped in, because the situation could have easily gotten worse than it did and they could have damaged their own boat or themselves.
