A Cynic is not a type of vegetable.

So, I woke up on Monday morning at 7:45 feeling like I normally do that early: really freaking tired. After my 8:00, I got down to business working on a drawing. I spent easily five hours on it. Then I had a class at 6. Aside from some breaks, my day was mostly spent working on things. Strangely, I was in a good mood, and not having my normal negative thoughts.

I woke up on Tuesday, and this day went just as well, if not better. I got glowing reviews on my drawing, and had an overall good day. Right before bed, I told my roommate, Shawn, "I've been happy and not cynical since yesterday." Lo and behold, I awoke Wednesday morning back to my normal self. :)

This actually happened. Just like that. Seriously. I dislike that class.

NOTE: No, I did not forget to color in the third panel. I was drawing my comic on top of the assignment I should have been doing. The paper is white. Like me. I am so white.

What is "life?" I know "Halo."

His mother was soon after sent to an asylum due to severe dillusions. Heino was left parentless, and sent to live in foster home after foster home. No single foster home could keep him, as his appearance (being an albino) frightened the other children. One foster home was located near a nuclear weapons testing facility, and some radioactive fallout landed in Heino's tapioca pudding, causing his head to burst into flame. He has never been able to grow hair since. Heino enjoyed singing in the shower, and would shower for the sole purpose of singing.

Emotions and Emulation

So, we had to do a comic focusing on facial expressions, and also had to ink one in the style of a different artist, so I decided to kill five hundred-thousand-million birds with one stone.
