Comic Fury Webcomic Hosting - My Mediocre Mind

Having finally broken my 20 strip personal minimum, it's probably about time to invite y'all to My Mediocre Mind!

... mind, I waited until strip 22, so I continue to be incapable of doing basic arithmetic!

My Mediocre Mind is the story of Jason Delain, a failed artist struggling to find where normal is in an increasingly bizarre world. Haunted by manifestations of his own self-loathing and inner child, he finds himself faced with life after a nervous breakdown, a career in shambles, and friends who have no idea just how cracked he's become.

I started the comic for two reasons, primarily as a method to get me started drawing again after a nearly seven year hiatus from the art world, but also as a method of personal stress relief, since it's loosely based on some of my own real-life experiences (as I tend to talk about in the notes accompanying each strip). The first strip was, almost literally, the very first comic I'd attempted to draw in the better chunk of a decade (and it's VERY obviously my first attempt), so it also serves as a great yardstick on my own progress.

So, if you'd like to take a glimpse into the life of a man living a real-life dark comedy, feel free to start from the beginning and tell me what you think!

If you're always posting them on the same day, simply outside of schedule, is it REALLY being late at that point or is it just a SECRET schedule?

Dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuun.

New Update: Even when your subconscious got yo' back, it's more hazard than help.

My Mediocre Mind #24, The Houdini Effect

Let me know what you think, in the comments or one here (I ain't picky, just curious)!

New update: That awkward moment on the train, when you realize you've been talking to yourself out loud.



I am a bad, bad man for co-opting Big Bang Theory jokes.

New update: Man, it seems like Jason's money problems have gotten kind of meta these days.

My Mediocre Mind #26, Just Don't Say 'Rollercoaster Ride'

There be an announcement there, too. Not to mention a servile, humble apology for the tardiness lately.

NEW UPDATE: In which the entire strip is just a bunch of speech bubbles.

My Mediocre Mind #27, Realizations

Still going strong on my once-daily schedule for the next few days, just don't like to spam-post this thread.

I feel dirty enough having made it to begin with!

NEW UPDATE: In which the speech bubbles have speech bubbles, to emphasize their speech bubbles.



BUBBLES!

NEW UPDATE: The internet really is a marvelous place, isn't it?

My Mediocre Mind #29, Normal People

Strange thing is, I HAVE asked about soundproofing before. Huh.

NEW UPDATE: Couches are integral.

My Mediocre Mind #30, Comfortable Situations

Miles is a pretty cool dude.

NEW UPDATE: Miiiiiles started the fiiiiire?



It was always burning? Since the world's been turning?

NEW UPDATE: In which I failed miserably at drawing smoke, but DIDN'T fail miserably at inking digitally.

My Mediocre Mind #34, Smoking Gun

Miles may be the most chill mofo in existence.

NEW UPDATE: In which Jason has an outburst and Miles makes a lot of sense.



Yeah man, chill out.

NEW UPDATE: In which we see an alternative use of smoke and a really blatant metaphor. ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

My Mediocre Mind #36, Up In Smoke

I'm done with the smoke puns. Honestly, I can't think of any more.

NEW UPDATE: In which SNACKS OHMYGOD SNACKS!



Daaaaaaiiiiisy... Daaaaaaiiiiiiiiiisssssy.... giiiiiiiive meeee yooouuuuuurr.....

NEW UPDATE: In which a mystery is presented.

My Mediocre Mind #38, Odd Awakening

The first panel has a soundtrack, and it goes "grrrBLGRGRHRGRLlllbluh" and still sounds better than Skrillex.

NEW UPDATE: In which the smell of adventure is in the air.

My Mediocre Mind #41, Adventure in the Wind

Actually, that may just be nachos. Mmmmnachos.

NEW UPDATE: In which everything goes better than expected.

My Mediocre Mind #42, Nervous Invitations

Seriously, why does nobody else work at this diner?!
