Number One(a), Introduction Update

Musings In Grayscale Issue #1a

Notes

It seemed only fair to create an update to the original comic, Issue 1.  Enter Issue 1a, which is actually the most recently composed of all the Musings In Grayscale as I write this.

I still struggle with self-doubt.  Constantly.  I still feel as if I’m trying to re-establish my identity.  To do that, I need to understand myself.  A very fundamental part of the Musings In Grayscale is that exploration and search for understanding.  I hope that I can make it entertaining for you, my readers, along the way.

This was the first comic I created, using the original version of Comic Life.  It was composed sometime in 2013, I think.
