Pfft, Whatever! (Patreon)

Want to thank Alex Combs, my brother Nathaniel especially, and (of course) the inimitable Rachel and Alixe for your—most appreciated and still being savored—words of encouragement for the Witches & Wizards launch last Wednesday.

...my ego took a beating.  I put a lot of effort into it (doubting my own ability each step of the way) and spoke to absolutely the wrong person that day.  Took my breath away, hurt my damn feelings.  To quote the late* Jim Cornette the response I got was 

"Flatter than a plate full of piss."

I figured I either need to hire a team of 24/7 cheerleaders, or I need to get on this self-soothing train FAST...

...so I drew my ATW Wrestling persona Witch of the Woods Intercontinental Champion Lül Van Auken Chisholm with the words "pfff whatever" and (surprisingly) I felt better.

I needed reminding that I'm a fighter and (pretty much) great.
And besides that—Witches & Wizards is only just beginning—it's going to be my longest ever comic (until I make a longer one) and once it takes off there aint any going back BY THUNDER

Having studied Wrestling for a number of years now, I realized there were a number of useful catch phrases, advice, and affirmations I could similarly whip up.

I'm curious if I can extend the reach/audience beyond just myself.  If I can affirm myself in a moment of hurt feelings, it seems logical I might do the same for others.

A lovely thing to ponder.
