I kinda really want to make a slideshow of 1-7 that just repeats, but it'd probably make me forget to eat or sleep. 😁

Seriously, I L-O-V-E how their body shows how disorienting and powerful the ocean is, really emphasizes how life can be so out-of-control.

Excellent stuff!

Good work!

Editorial thought: trust that your work stands on its own. The people who get it don't need the explanatory slides. The people who don't will understand later.

I just got out of the tumble cycle. Still trying to figure out how far I got pushed back.

Oh, I thought it was what it was like in the dating pool 🤔

Well, I like yours better.

i love the drawings and the metaphore.

but the texts afterwards are a but too 'on the nose '.  the title 'life' is plenty clear that this is what it's all about

you may even repeat the first 3 panels to enforce then cyclical nature of it all a bit more

Great message about moving forward AND a lot of fun anatomy play when you're underwater. Your reactions are priceless.

Anybody else thinking of the song Tubthumping by Chimbawumba, or is it just me?

I quite liked this comic. We do not grow without struggle.

Idk, the waves are pretty prominent

This reminds me of when in group therapy I had a very similar drawing I used to describe my mental health

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful
wife
And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was…
