Sometimes, you need a little push. Or a full-on Sparta kick.
We're starting the year with another storyline, and this one is going to get very personal. I've been on my own therapy journey for about a year, and ever since it began, I knew I wanted Ray to experience his own.
I often get associated with Scotty, but the truth is that multiple characters are based on different parts of my personality. Scotty is snarky and sarcastic, and Sibyl represents my struggles as a freelancer, but Ray? Ray has my introversion and social anxiety.
I first had a conversation much like the one in the first panel midway through 2020, but I didn't actively try to get a therapist until late December 2023. My mom wasn't as pushy as Ray's mom was, but she did keep bringing it up and helped me stay on the path. I'm glad she did, because it's been really helpful.
Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.
