I'm not often left with feelings after reading comics. You change that. Often, I feel inspired or a little warm. I can tell you definitely though, that I always end up smiling and feeling less alone after reading your works.

This touched my heart. With so much going on, part of my morning meditation today was just trying to open my head and my heart to whatever comes next. Thank you for your wonderful, heart-filled comics!

February is the longest month of the year, paradoxically.

Your wobbly beginner lines bring a smile to faces across continents. Remember that every time work feels repetitive :)

Beautious.

Also, “Slow Down, You Yay-Hoos” should be a t-shirt

I'd wear it while shouting from my porch, though I'm on a cul de sac so it's mostly just delivery drivers...

No matter how much one knows one should always approach learning as an abecedarian.

Was just the “out written words of how feeling in a dreary repetitive … not going & not advancing as wanting & needing time.

Move or get in the way…. Or Maybe …Reflect give yourself a slow break enjoy the warm Coffee ,Tea, Hot Chocolate….stay warm think … & then start another small project outside or inside & congratulate yourself with the accomplishment.

Lovely! We were meant to remain lifelong learners - full of awe and the joy of discovery. The bicycle, as an evolutionary imperative, facilitates that.

"evolutionary imperative," I like that phrase!

Same! I saw it on bike Twitter years ago and I can’t unsee it.

dear grant,

beautiful piece!

i love "Join me on my beginner’s journey, or get out of the way."

it reminds me of a sign my grandmother had up in her home: "be nice or get out."

also, i love how in the final panel of the cartoon, the words "discovering other people like me" are placed in such a way that it could be two thoughts:

1) "discovering other"

and

2) "people like me"!

thank you for sharing as always!

love

myq
