Black and white comic organized with 4 rectangle panels per page. They are oriented like portraits. Drawings are simple and digital.
Text: People love a lot of things I don't understand until they explain
Background is black at the top of the page and fade's to white halfway down.
Panel 1: Person without any features except dot eyes has a frustrated wrinkle between their eyes. They are at a desk writing on a piece of hole punched paper. They have a thought bubble that says, "Writing essays was boring to me in high school"
Panel 2: The panel is a piece of hole punched paper with indistinct writing on it. In the bottom right corner someone has graded it with a B. The B has a circle around it.
Panel 3: Close-up of a column of youtube thumbnails. The one in the middle has a picture of a woman and a man's face. Though they have minimal features, the woman has a ponytail and bangs and the man has a band-aid on his nose and a scruffy beard. The line-art of them is in red.
Text in the top thumbnail: But now I re-watch video essays about movies I've never watched
Panel 3: The person with dot eyes now sits in front of a computer and keyboard. They have a cowboy hat on and their mouth is slightly open in a frown as a tear falls from one eye.
Text: all made with love and care

Same panel format
Text: Math was confusing and anxiety-inducing
Panel 1: An adult with no features but an open mouth stands in front of a blackboard holding a long stick. They have 3 radiating lines coming from them indicating speech. The silhouette of a kid sitting at a desk is in the foreground, watching.
Panel 2: The kid sitting at the desk is now facing forward so you can see them with the wrinkle between their eyes as they complete a scantron test. They have a pencil in one hand and are touching their cheek with stress in the other. A thought bubble emerges from them with a bunch of numbers, mathematical signs, letters, and question marks.
Panel 3: A close-up of a hand holding a phone where a video plays. The video is of a man with no hair sitting on a chair talking. A red speech bubble emerges from them in the shape of a book titled "HUMBLE PI" The author is "MATT PARKER"
Text: But listening to interviews about books people wrote makes me think
Panel 4: The person wearing the cowboy hat is looking down with a shocked open mouth. They have earbuds in and a speech bubble that says, "Oh."
Text: "Of course there's beauty there."

4 panel format is broken. The 4 panels can be seen drifting vaguely to the bottom right, getting skewed horizontally along the way. The 4rth panel in the bottom right is obscured completely.
Drawings in red line art of various objects fall to the bottom right of the page, increasing in number. There is a large tree, a kendama, an angler fish, playing cards, marbles, a toy car... etc

Text: Of all the worries I have, I don't think being unlovable is one of them
Red objects emerge from the top left corner and fall towards the bottom right, decreasing in number and size. There is a bicycle, a hurdy gurdy, a world map, nail polish... etc, ending in the person with the cowboy hat, now smiling and drawn in red line art.
They are partially inside the fourth panel, which is positioned upright in the same spot as when the panels were organized.
Text: I'm not so unique as to be an exception in a world of lovable things
Watermark intersecting the bottom cent er of the panel border: @yeehawpim

The videos referenced are the video essay about Blade Runner 2049 by @ladyknightthebrave and an interview between Adam Savage and Matt Parker about his book "Humble Pi: When Math Goes Wrong in the Real World"

go give them a watch they're super cool!

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?
