What's wrong?

My great, abandoned comics work! Untouched since 2004!

WOW! How come you forgot it?

[stanleylieber]

I didn't forget it, I just ran out of steam. It was started as sort of a rebuttal to something, and I decided it wasn't worth arguing.

publish!

I'm thinking about putting together a booklet that has all the pages I completed, trailing off into the half-finished pages, and finally just the hand-annotated script. It's going to be called The Abandonment of Cruelty.

i love the title. the idea of seeing those fragments is appealing.

i still want to see this. the comic that you did that sort of starts off the story (i think) is so awesome.

i remember you posted unfinished art from this up here in uh, 1986?
if you were to continue doing it, would you change your character to reflect the massive cosmetic surgery you've had since starting it?

It started out as a love note to my mom, but then I fell out of love with my mom. Is there a word for 'oedipus complex, past tense' ?

[stanleylieber]

You're right, it was 1986. After the Challenger disaster, I couldn't go on. Everything changed.

my brother was in 1st grade in 1986, and drew a bunch of crayon pictures of astronauts and rockets on fire for months. i think my mom had them hanging on the fridge up until a few years ago.
