Im not a vet , more a
wet - too pussy to even check my change at the counter..

I have no idea how to
access peoples work on this site.

Im wondering if you
have ventured into reportage or autobiography with your graphic work.
That stuff is unpopular but draws it self and is valid as a first person visual document.
Salutes

Edit to say Just found your work

Hi Jimbo!

Former army-, now veteran wife here! Deployments and all. When did you get out?

Will be interesting to see how many veterans are actually on this site, I don't think it will be all that many.

Ratique,

I got out YEARS ago (circa 2006)

me when I was young and good looking and less fat.

OIF 1, 2, and 3 (2003-2005) and an Egyptian peacekeeping mission that turned out not as relaxing as everyone said it would be but it was there I started writing seriously.

How about you? Where did you serve?

SGT, USA

Did you check it out? What do you think?

I posted my comment
under the chapter-

I said -
It was raw, searing,-- brutal, ugly, artless and personal. Reads like self flagellation or immolation.
I had thought the art was your own so I was a tad disappointed.

If you can keep up the intensity it will no doubt be a powerful story
