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!

Hollow Parts
Excellent point. "others" do not make you happy - that stuff comes from within. Do not externally validate as your sole means of self-worth.
That's So Terrible
This summarizes the state of politics in the USA at this point. Lots of Twitter warriors, nobody willing to take to the streets.
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.)

Mirror
Why are there no smart mirrors yet that tell you you look great? Every morning and every evening. With the voice of David Attenborough.
from what i read recently, she said "Magic mirror..." https://steemit.com/mandela/@oddreality/mandela-effect-snow-white-it-s-not-mirror-mirror-2017625t94018643z

this sounds like my mom. she wouldn't let me pursue career as a teacher because she didn't get to be one??
I feel you. Same deal, different job. The phrase (which was told to me several times): "Well I didn't get to do that/I wasn't that lucky when I was younger - why should you get a chance I didn't?" or even better..."I had to suffer, so should you!"
Load More Replies...OH MY GOD. This one hits me hard. I've grown an internalized hatred for all love due to my failure to find anyone. I'm actually becoming a bit scared of myself.
Sensitive Blob
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.
Good At Looking
Right Thing To Do
Fear Is Powerful
Fear itself makes you feel like s**t, so I question this statement.
This one is really powerful. The best you can to is try to relax and be prepared.
Cute Worm
Am I the only one who read the last panel in a scary whisper voice with a soft chuckle at the end?
Hey, someone has to deal with the dead bodies. Thanks, little worm!
I read it super cheery: like your dead body! Yay! But I did have the chuckle at the end
Great At Connecting
Yes. Just because someone isn't chatty or good at conversation doesn't me they don't desperately want to be included.
I don't want to be included. I abhor company. Most Humans are not really intelligent, all they do are gossip. It's tiring
Load More Replies...True! I am often most happy when I am having my alone time.
Load More Replies...YES. And not wanting to do so does not mean there is something wrong with us. Introverts are not a broken person who needs fixing <3

My friend just spams me with messages telling me to give her son back. FYI it's a succulent that I bought and watered for her. It's for her own good, she knows she can't take care of plants. -__-
Sorry, as a mother I don't get this. Still gotta take care of everyone as always.
Again with the “laziness is good” theme. I don’t like not being able to do stuff.
Meanwhile in the office the work you are supposed to do is piling up.
Brought These For You
Ah yes, all those scary dead animals. Thanks. I'll cut my feet on them.
Everyone Is Weird
Yeah, everyone is weird. But how BORING would life be if everyone was NORMAL?
We live in a world that differentiates between different types of weird and then judges the minority.
I Hate Confrontation
I'm A Good Person
A good person is still human and makes mistakes and bad decisions. I know I have made many but I try hard to be a good person. Could I be better, of course but I still know my heart is in the right place and that I enjoy helping people and being nice. I know I am a nice person.
Omfg I can’t believe it, I am actually crying right now. I just realised I said something positive about myself and I actually meant it. Omg omg I have to tell my hubby and mum.
Load More Replies...You deserve all the likes. Unfortunately I can't give them to you.

Every damn year I stare at spring through my window. Sometimes I just risk it and go outside. Then my nose cries.

Help Others
#JustAskDontGrab on twitter is about asking rather than assuming people need/want help. Sometimes jumping in without asking can harm.
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.

Don't Ignore Your Emotions
Even anger, which for years I considered to be the worst of emotions. Sometimes it just needs a walk around the block... on a leash.
anger is good. It enables you, if controlled, to better damage your enemies.
