i don't want to sound dramatic but like, in the past few years, webcomics have become my lifeline. they kept me sane and healthy and made sure my creative well was always full. i can't stress this enough--READ WEBCOMICS. They're Gold. Here are some of my favorites:

It feels right to start with the one webcomic that got me into the world of webcomics: "Check, Please!" by @ngoziu
This story is my full heart. Think: college, hockey, pies and a lot of feelings. It's my ultimate comfort read.

Next, "BANG&BURN" by @riseniron and @fever_bite (who, btw, are super talented and truly amazing people).
Think: druglord, undercover DEA agent, a world of greed and temptation. The tagline in their website is "A crime romance webcomic" and that's Perfect

Always, "Heartstopper" by @AliceOseman.
I love this story with my entire soul. It's warm, soft and it feels like a hug.
Think: British grammar school, two boys who fall in love and a lot of feelings. I always look at Alice's work for inspiration.
