Okay, not bad so far. Still can't see the real thing since it's nothing but shadows, but so far it's not bad. Your cute animation style and the anthro animals your working with just begs a disorder story, since autistic kids who are normally attracted to these things (like myself) would be able to relate.
The least I have to complain about is that, out of all the names, it had to be 'dog'... even though I thought he was a pegasus. So it isn't Yoshi the Yoshi or Donkey the Donkey then, just Dog the pegasus? Still, the last of it was the swearing, just be much, muchΒ lighter on it then it would get that kid-friendly feel the drawing style begs for.
I dunno, I'm still really enjoying it. Can't wait to see more.

Thanks for the insight.
I have to clear up some things. The main character is an anthro dog representing me. He's different from my usual fursona/OC and he probably does not have wings in this comic. The main goal of this comic is for me to just write and draw what I feel like. So certain things that are not relevant to the story will be "cloaked". This is also not the new comic that I did concept art for the other day, this is just something that came inbetween using similar characters. The swearing and dark themes will stay because this story is pure expression for me and not designed as casual entertainment, but more a look into my thoughts.
I hope you'll still enjoy it, but keep an eye out for the other comic that I promised, that is in the works too. This one is just more important to me at the moment.

Ahhh, that explains a lot. I guess I still enjoy it, but please consider the disorder theme for your future comics, at least as a minor theme. It's not just relatableness, but I can't help but find autistic ponies and anthros to be a little adorable. Probably because of the socially awkward yet childish like nature, a mixture of Pinkie and Fluttershy; two sorts of cuteness I am a sucker for.
But if you don't, then I'm sure I'll enjoy the comics anyway. I guess maybe the disorder stuff should stick with the dark version, while some more light-hearted stuff would be for the original version. Who knows, maybe you can use Dog's short-term memory issues as an emotional tool sometimes, like how you sometimes make a dramatic, heartwarming Silly Lyra every once and awhile.
But, still, getting real... I feel you. Trust me when I say that school isn't easy for me, and my mom agrees that my autism actually makes life as difficult as it is. Just learn to let that issue be more of a quirk, and learn how to find a strength in it like I did. I once talked about Dr. Wolf about this sort of thing on PMs, and he used Scotaloo as an example of all this.

"Concentration problem" reminds me a lot of myself. This is really interesting, keep it up! I like this sight into the mind.

It seems I really am not the only one with these problems. I am glad to be heard!

Is this comic by any chance like a window into your life?
π: 0 β©: 1
It is indeed. Some things might be slightly different, but these are real stories from my life and how I experience them.

I like the little nod to Silly Lyra
I like the style, too - a bit rough round the edges and perfect for 'unfiltered' thoughts. More, please ...

I'm glad you like it. More coming up...

Keep in mind that those of us who've met you (myself included) wish you well however you might be feeling.
If putting your thoughts down as art helps, then go for it ...

Thanks, it makes me happy to know that putting my thoughts out there is appreciated.

I think there are many people who will find your story relatable

I find work stressful and tedious as well. I want to doodle and screw around. I have done so in the past, and have been caught doing so... I wouldn't recommend it.
I certainly do recommend asking for advice from your most trusted friends and family on important decisions, like quitting a job. It takes time to consider a big decision, too.
And if 'vent' art helps, then by all means, make it.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's good to know that I'm not alone. And making this comic has helped me out so much too.

On another note, I'd love to see some of your furry art. ^u^

It's good to see that I'm not alone.
It's great to hear that you're looking forward to some of my other work. Though there are some people that aren't. I have a bit of stuff on FurAffinity, but I'm still really experimenting and finding my way: www.furaffinity.net/user/dori-β¦ So it might be interesting to follow my exploration.

Very cool, though I don't have a fuaffinity account myself, I'll definitely keep your in mind ^u^

Tbh I've never been much of a doodler. But during this job I really missed doing art a lot.
