Sometimes I wish I knew how to put less than my entire heart, soul, and ass into a comic, but then I make something that feels real special. I hope you guys think it's special too.

Thanks for adding that panel about the ability to get wet in your OJST comic about lube! I’ve been dealing with a lot of shame about how much lube I need, and it was really validating. You rock.

Y'know what, that bit almost didn't make it into the final version. I was worried that it would feel preachy after all the fun and games, but this topic is so very important to me, and I knew it NEEDED to stay in there.

That comic actually came from a place of frustration with how lubricant and the need for it is perceived. My original pitch came back saying that I clearly have unresolved issues that need to be worked out before I can approach the topic in a non-antagonistic manner. And... yeah, that's pretty fair.

I still want to make that comic, that way I can get way more specific about how to apply the stuff properly. It's not rocket science, but it's an awkward topic to bring up and even I haven't figured that out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for the love!
