Being useless in social situations- genetic or learned behaviour?
Who knows. But the truth is, some of us suffer from an inability to connect to others in groups larger than two. Either we don’t know what to say, or every word is considered too carefully and delivered far too late with the wrong inflection. The eyes say too much and the mouth either struggles to keep up or races ahead inappropriately. Is it because I spent most of my developmental years drawing, wrapped in my own fantasies?
I’m no psychologist, but I can at least use comics to explore a little bit about what it means to be Socially Awkward. I created this comic in 2011 and revised it in 2012, using traditional pencils and digital inks and lettering.
