I could have hashed a comic up super fast, but I thought it’d be better to just show you what I worked on today.
The Janitor has mellowed out considerably it appears.. He’s also gained weight and is now a healthy bean shape.

I hope you’re not sad, but it happens to us all.
Sad is a strange thing. People treat you differently when you’re sad. It feels awkward being sad, like you are letting everyone down.
But it’s okay to be sad sometimes. It’s not a bad thing to feel that way. It happens to everyone…
If you feel really sad – even if you don’t know why – it’s important you do have someone to talk to. Or some way of letting the sad out. You could write it down, keep a diary. You’ll feel a lot better from doing it. Then when you feel better, you can throw that diary or paper away, and your sadness with it.
When I was feeling really unhappy, I bought this book. I don’t remember why, it’s actually a book sold for children (I soon learned that it’s written for everyone). It arrived, and I read it, I looked at the pictures, and I read it again. It’s not a book glorifying sadness. It’s a picture book that helps, that causes you to think, to consider. It also suggests some realistic, simple ways of coping with it.
I would recommend this book to anyone who’s feeling at the bottom of a barrel, or to teachers, or to you.
If you have a friend, relative or child who feels sad, or who feels they aren’t understood, you could maybe get them this book, and show them it’s okay. Because it is.
