Re: Introduce Your Comic and You! (Old Thread)
Wow, never realized this site had a forum. I'm not the most social, but I should introduce myself.

Honestly don't remember how I stumbled onto GlobalComix, I might have seen someone talk about it on Twitter or a Forum a couple years ago, and joined on impulse.

1. My name is Copper. It's not my real name, but I'm not too fond of that on.

2. My comic is called 'The Guide to a Healthy Relationship'. Don't let the title fool you it's not a self-help guide, nor does it have any romance.

3. https://globalcomix.com/c/the-guide-to-a-healthy-relationship?lang=en

4. First off, TGtaHR is for a 17 or older audience due to nudity, profanity and substance abuse. So don't click the link if you're under that age.
So my comic is essentially a character study focusing on darker topics like abuse, mental health struggles and trauma. While I try to be as respectful with it as possible it isn't for most people, the story is probably best for cathartic types or people who generally enjoy uncomfortable fiction. It's also somewhat slow-burn, almost plotless, given the focus is on basically an interpersonal event in the MC's lives, and not so much a major goal. You can say there is a goal from the reader's perspective, but the characters have no ambitions what-so-ever.
If you're curious why I'd make such a comic. It's a vent thing of sorts, a mix of personal experiences, and stuff I've internalized from peers, family members and friends throughout my life. TGtaHR is here to help me get all that out of my system, plus find like-minded folks who deal with stuff in the same way. (Via transgressive fiction/art.)

Genres: Drama | Psychological | Slice-of-Life (There is also a bit of LGBT+ stuff in there.)
General summary: Apollo is doing fine. Just fine. He bartends, parties and drinks with his friends, and talks to a picture of his dead childhood friend. He's fine. Until he thinks he sees his dead friend during a night out drinking.
