The first comic I deemed "Catharcissism". Meant to be a spiritual successor to Shrimp Fried Riot and My own Personal Apocalypse. (Meant to NOT have such a negative sounding name as the second version, but, did I really succeed at that with a comic portmanteau'd as Catharsis and Narcissism?!
Anywho…
The main guy is me/Octavius, with a different design. Less chibi and more Adobe-Flash cartoonish. I am a sucker for psychomachia, so, the initial idea was to just have main-Octavius be silent in the background while his shoulder angel and devil do all the talking/thinking in the foreground. That's still a good idea that I may run with, someday, but, in the end, it really just isn't right for a self-insert diary comic. Not for ME, anyway. I'm way too negative-minded for the shoulder angel to ever really get any lines.
So, the next time I went back to the 'Me-comic' well, I changed things to closer resemble previous fare. Still, this was fun. NOT based on a true story, I swear!
Why the cyborg arm, you ask? I had a leg amputated, due to diabetes. Since (sadly) most of my comics are 'talking-heads' comics, you'll very rarely see my legs. Not that I'd show them anyway. I NEVER wear shorts BECAUSE of this stupid fake leg… so, I went with a prosthetic arm, instead and as this is a comic, I went for a cool cyber-arm instead of a plastic-looking medical prosthetic arm.
