I've dedicated my free work to youth & the road ahead - who's yours for?

From my series profile:

The second group I'm dedicating this to are today's youth, facing the long road ahead. At the risk of perpetuating lazy stereotypes, I've always found you way more switched on & giving than the generations immediately preceding you. One day you may find it in yourselves to forgive us for treating your world as an all-you-can-eat buffet but in the meantime don’t wait, get out there, seize the initiative.

Other than yourself naturally (bleeding for your art) who do you think deserves recognition?

I write for the dead-tired from work!

I write for curious people that still believe it’s possible to change the way we live despite all examples of the contrary... so idealists swamped in routine...

I guess, to quote the show FRIENDS, I'm writing for the people who can relate to this: "when it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year."

It's for everyone who has a dream and wants to achieve it or for those who believe their luck just isn't that good.

It's specifically for me, but the me that existed back when I was 16. There are things in it that I needed to hear at the time (that I still need to hear, sometimes -- but the magic of writing is that you can tell it to yourself).

Maybe we need to forge more alliances, more quickly between all the idealists, pragmatists & progressives out there?

I don't recall that line from Friends, however it's so important to dream as well as to act isn't it?

Good stuff. Hope you're listening

Ha! Well, I try.

Not that I went into writing my comic with a direct message in mind, but I guess the big takeaway one could make is that.. It's never too late to try to fix strained relationships with the people you care about. Things might not go the way you want, but the oppurtunity for change will always be there.

It's probably for me too, but like whatever lol

Profound (tho not as much as 20 characters it seems!)
