The brilliant comic artist/writer/teacher Lynda Barry produced a truly awesome heart-felt recounting of how she finally got to the bottom of the internal struggle that so many of us go through with everything we make.
I'm so happy to have discovered this, some years after she created it, though it makes me sad to know her own enjoyment of her work had been ruined for decades.
Until she found her answer to those two questions:
"Is this good?" "Does this suck?"
I won't give away the end, but if you haven't come across this before, and maybe even if you have, you are encouraged to click right here to see it from her own pen as no one could say it any better. It's not very long.
And I hope I can really keep this in mind from now on. Thank you, Lynda.
