Once more, into the Dark!

Continuing with the run of TIM from my old experiMental Theatre web comic...

Full Disclosure: Strangling Jack Johnson (of the Swinging Johnson Brothers) is my youngest son.

From here, we cannot continue.
At this point, i gave in to the Fear.

You see, i had created an avatar of myself and was systematically destroying it with an audience of hundreds, then thousands, focused on the process. If you read through the comments on the original site, you'll see that as i climbed the ratings and topped charts, i wound up in the hospital for the first time since having my tonsils removed as a youngling. A few weeks later, i was back in again, and again... 

As i lost my health, i lost my home and my income.

The more i destroyed myself in the comic, the more my life disintegrated around me.
I eventually decided it wasn't safe for me to continue - at least not in this form.

Silly? Perhaps.

But i haven't been back in the hospital since quitting the story.

Leaving The Mind Alone In The Dark

we continue TIM from experiMental Theatre - strap in for 50.

Hmm...   I think i promised some tips for comprehension. 

You likely know the notion "Everyone is a Hero in their own mind" - here we take it to extremes. Most of this happens inside our nameless me's mind, in which he's trapped - but not alone. All the pop cultural references are due to the world being constructed from the materials available, and some of those you see are parts of the mind that usually operate below the conscious level. They're aware of the intrusion and manipulation, and trying to counter it with their own. A few rare bits take place outside his head.

Okay, that's all ya get for now.

Onward, into the Dark!

Yes, it continues...
