The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
If you follow me on social media, specifically Instagram, you might have noticed a big uptick in activity on my account there. There's a few reasons for this, 1) now that my new book is largely done, I've got more energy to make diary comics again, 2) I'm re-drawing some older cartoons (like this one) to warm myself up in the mornings, and to get myself back into the mindset of quickly writing short pieces, and 3) I have loose, unformed, embryonic, nascent thoughts bubbling and circulating about possibly launching a Kickstarter either later this Summer or in the Fall, somehow collecting a lot of my diary comic and cartoon essay material into some kind of a book, and, frankly, posting to Instagram and getting new followers from being more active on there, will hopefully pay off if and when I do that.
Part of what's holding me back from pulling the trigger on a Kickstarter is just that I'm unsure about what would work best in a collection. I don't know if I want to just gather a Best Of into a book, I think I'd like to put together something more coherent than that, and also I am thinking I'd want to make a good amount of original material to go into it also. So, it's percolating...

Great points, I think I’ll make it a habit to crosspost my IG comics here automatically

For what it's worth, those of us who value our privacy, and therefore won't touch Facebook with a barge pole, can't follow you on Instagram. It would be great if you had another platform, or posted everything on Patreon, maybe at a higher subscription level? (Different from the hardcopy level; my house is already drowning in paper.) (Having said that, I'm delighted to own a copy of "Rules for Dating My Daughter.")

Hey Christine, thanks for the feedback! I think I agree with what you're saying, a better book would be one that held together somehow thematically, even just by breaking things up into chapters.

For what my 2 cents are worth, re: diary collection… Unless you have work that leans hard onto the date it was made, it might be best to group them by subject (family stuff/ political stuff/ life musings/etc) and separate by chapter. I love BotW. And I still enjoy this comic.❤️
