You Are An Atrocity And Nobody Likes You, Fall 2023
Content Warning: Discussion of depression and anxiety, self esteem issues, self harm, racism, homophobia, and transphobia.
A zine I made in September for my comic publishing class. It's all about me, my mental health, and my relationship to feeling like a human (or rather, less than one). I took some time to lightly personally examine myself and how I got to this point, how I've had every single one of these feelings for a very long time now, and how they contributed to the worst depressive episode I've experienced.
I excluded my author about page for uploading on here due to it containing my legal name, but otherwise, this is the whole thing! Hopefully it can be an interesting read, or maybe one of you can find a little bit of comfort with it should you have similar feelings about yourself. If nothing else, enjoy.
my assignment in my experimental comics class this week, we had to redraw a page from a comic, then take the text from another one. for my redraw, i went with a page with daredevil #4 from mark waid’s run, and text from the strip “the bibliophile” from dykes to watch out for by alison bechdel. sources under the cut!
