Here's a comic I made for Halloween! It's sorta like Power Rangers but with casual swearing

Had a running bit for the first few months of living in my current house where I would do the Bigfoot pose every time my housemates walked into the room. Apparently I’m not particularly good at the bigfoot pose.
(Had the draft for this sitting in my WIPs folder for many moons, like an absurd amount of moons. Anyways, I finally finished it.)

Dedicated to those who live in spite of the horrors
Spent a whole month working on this project and here it is just in time for my city's indie comic artist fest. Wanted to write something profound here but I think the comic says it all. Hope y'all enjoy.

After a chaotic day of abduction-by-squid and a sharp tussling introduction, two strangers, along with others in their new yet uneasy alliance, settle down for their first night at camp. What could they be thinking of the other…? 👀👀👀

Did you ever end up talking to your bully about what happened?
Man, this thing is still doing the rounds huh! I'm glad people like the comic, it feels like a long time ago for me. I haven't talked to her since we were kids, there just isn't any reason to. I don't harbor any real feelings about her either way, I hope she's well I guess!
If I can veer away from this specific question a little bit (I don't open tumblr much anymore so I'm trying to cover a few things at once) there's a couple things I want to say about the comic now with almost 10 years of distance from it:
1) The events in the comic are true, AND
2) the last time I saw this girl I was 12. I made this comic in my late 20s for an anthology themed around best friends, in fact I probably looked her up in the first place because the anthology had brought her to mind. So while there was real pain in those memories, I didn't have any present-day animus towards her and I still don't. The comic was rejected but it got a lot of eyeballs on my work. In fact...
3) I have some complicated feelings about the life this comic has had, I even made two follow-ups to try to bring some nuance to the reaction it got (here: https://www.meghanlands.com/bff-2 and here: https://www.meghanlands.com/bff3 ) but there's no denying this thing did a lot for my career. It was shortlisted for an award I really cared about, it got the attention of comics outlets I wanted to work with, and when I talk to students it's the thing they're likely to recognize. It reached a lot further than a print anthology would have, for better or worse. Thank you to the readers for spreading it around. Lastly...
4) I turned 40 this year, I'm still a cartoonist, and I'm still ok. The events in the comic feel far away now, as does making it. I hope for the many of you in pain that one day it will feel far away for you too. Thank you for reading.

Is this about how ppl born in the late 20th century have a unique and fluid experience of navigating barriers to information access and its our responsibility to teach the younger folks how to tinker with technology to avoid being spoonfed everything we experience in order to have critical skills that keep us informed, autonomous, and able to hold power despite looming threats of authoritarianism or..........???
i love love lOVE the additional element of “the only information that’s free is the ‘how we’re going to hell’” BS. Chef’s kiss.

SORRY FOR THE VERY PERSONAL COMIC!!
This is my half of “Unhealthy”, an essay comic double header with the lovely and talented Sarah Winifred Searle. She and I both wrote about our personal experiences as overweight ladies with eating disorders, and her story is breathtaking!

Hey this looks really awesome but there are 5 days left and it still needs quite a bit of funding to hit the goal. Spread the word, signal boost, I want my books! There are tiers specifically for libraries and retailers as well, so especially share with any librarians or bookshop owners you know!
