2015 — 2016
I think Fritz’ favorite holiday would be New Years Eve. Its isn’t family, or religion oriented, and social expectations are based solely around going out and getting trashed. New Years represents a clean slate, leaving everything negative behind you in the last year; a whole new start to a whole new you… even if that isn’t actually true, its still a comforting sentiment.
2015 was a terrible year for me, as any of you following me on social media may have noticed. Constant external and internal stress left me feeling like I was losing my mind, for a good chunk of the year. Every time I felt like I had my footing back, I would trip up again and again. There were weeks on end where I felt absolutely miserable, and others where I felt nothing at all. Everything was terrifying. I was so easily overwhelmed, yet nothing mattered at all to me. Its scary to admit when there is something fundamentally wrong with you, but I can’t live like that ever again. I think I’m on the right track to becoming healthier, though it is a long process just to find out what exactly is going on.
I want to thank all of you for your support and patience this year. From everyone on Patreon, everyone who bought HEAD, and everyone leaving comments and sharing Fritz with their friends. It means the world to me that anyone could see something in my messy little comic about misery.
Lets all continue into 2016, and embrace a fresh, new start. And lots more Fritz Fargo. ; )
Hi, i dont know how could that information be relieving for you but this year was for sure worst year of my life too, in which ive been to three funerals had two mental breakdown and ive started hallucinating. I wouldnt be alive today if not for simple fact that just before new year eve i had no way of killing myself except for cutting myself and i am aichmophobic. Id had to drive to the nearest shop to buy any meds or sth but i live in the middle of eastern european forest and so on. Which is actually hilarious in a tragically ridiculous way. And i dont know anything about you but hey, if thay year was that bad everything must be fine from that moment because it just C A N T be fuckinf worse, right?
Also i wanted to write you a comment for a long time but you know probably that feeling when you want to do something but cant force yourself to do it either it is because youre depressed or theres shadowy figurine dancing in the corner of your vision, but, your webcomic is a really nice thing, not a pleasure to read for certain themes which are quite too real for me(i would probably end up like fritz if it wasnt for my asexuality and inability to buy drugs because here you can only buy home brewed alcohol which leaves you blind faster than masturbation), but a nice deglorificating thing. Ive send it to all my friends who raed at all and some of them even like a fb page so i thing they liked it too. Keep it on, and everything what is best for you! I hope everything will be okay from now because for fucks sake why not. It is our turn to be happy now. And sorry for any mistakes it is hard for me to keep on train of thoights because it riddeeesssssss
Happy new year
Hey, thank you so much for the comment, I’m really touched by it. I’m also really glad that you couldn’t find a way to hurt yourself, and you’re still here to leave such an open and honest comment for me.
I really hope things will be better for you in 2016, like you said, it can’t get any worse, right? I’ll be trying my best to make everything right on my end.
Thank you again for the words and support, please have a very Happy New Year.
i hope you have a good new year, fowlie. i can also relate to this year being bad, because a ton of shit happened to me that wasnt great. this is my absolute favorite webcomic and ive shared it with a few people, the art is gorgeous and i get incredibly happy when i see an update. i just hope you know how great your work is. i cant wait to see more and i hope this year treats you well—
