“This whole thing started because I decided to make a comic a day for two months straight,” Martin revealed. “I was severely depressed for two years and failed two colleges but thanks to therapy, meds and a lot of work on myself I’m doing much better. Making these comics to me is like being able to say to my depression, ‘even with you in the way I am still able to make something.’”

“I try to be open about depression, I know it always helps to know that you’re not the only one struggling,” he continued. “Getting it out of my system is a great help. People reacting positively to me sharing my feelings is even better. I feel like I make a tiny connection with others. Just a tiny one but it is there.”
