Damn, I don't think I've ever seen a comic that deep.

Drag is thinking about this beautiful comic today because of an experience drag had recently. A while ago, drag gave some advice to someone who was struggling with suicidal thoughts. It was dark advice. It wasn't pleasant. And, like the story in this comic, drag thinks it was able to give hope to someone drowning down in those depths. But a lot of people who haven't struggled with suicidal thoughts like drag has, like this person was... they didn't understand it. Thought it was going to bring that person down. Drag really wishes people whose lives are full of sunshine could see what survival takes down here in the darkness. Drag thinks this comic is very good at explaining that.

I agree, good work.

As someone who has been in that dark place who now isn’t but still has those dark thoughts, I deeply believe that sometimes dark stories make things bright for those down in it.

Dark, sad music, movies, TV, and comics have saved me again and again.

I hope you keep helping those in dark places. ❤️

Saw this here a while ago, glad to see it again so i can save it this time.

That was surprisingly good, an effective use of form.
