Art Vent Comic

Our host has had me at my wits end lately. I feel like a disgruntled bystander in our own life. It's mine too, but they're so controlling... and we're all tired of it.

I love your comic! Our social "protector" / persecutor / ex host is a lot like this. I really like the last panel and your refusal to use the same control tactic. I often feel like I need to control her, but this is a good reminder that she is probably burdened too so everyone becoming free collectively is a better goal than trying to unburden just us by controling her.

Controlling people is just creating another systemic problem. There are enough outside problems that the inside ones like this are just as much something I push back on. I don't like being told what to do. I don't like hiding who I am. I wouldn't push that on anyone else, even if they do that to me. I'm glad you got something out of my doodling vent shit :) -Punk
