Everyone Else

Everyone Else

Another mopey strip. Man, have I got issues. Since the monologue in this strip is rather vague, I’ll elaborate on what I’m trying to say here. When I’m talking about going “off the beaten path,” I’m talking about things like teetotalism and flirtations with vegetarianism. People seem to think that I do these things out of some pious moral reasoning, but I’m really doing them because they make sense to me. I fret about not being normal sometimes, but I know that going against my intuition won’t make me feel better. So, enough whining. I’ll try to make a more uplifting comic next time.

Transcript

Some people think whenever I do something off the beaten path that I’m trying to be better than everyone else. That I think I’m “too good” for everyone else. When in reality I spend most of my time feeling like something is wrong with me. Like following my heart and mu instincts has somehow made me less than normal. You know, I thought I would have outgrown these adolescent fears over identity and conformity by now. Hm. Guess not.
