ROUTINE

this comic is heartbreaking in the most mundane, down-to-earth way. I want to give Haven a hug and the best rested nap he's ever had. by the end I was fully about to cry.

it's also visually stunning - you employ so many different art styles, from the abstract, textured paintings of Haven's dreams, to the delightful incorporation of photography, to the corporate logo-esque symbols that make up his time at work - that captures his mood and activities perfectly. his dreams are unsettling to look at. the food is familiar and appetizing. the different ways you write the text also help a lot - shoutout to Haven's wall of text panic in the video rental place, the giant screaming mattress commercial, and his anger-panic at sleeping all day Saturday. and, of course, I adore your art! I love your style, and I love how you draw people, especially gestures and expressions, like when Haven talks to Cypress. I think my favorite page is the one of him tossing and turning in bed. the repetition in this set up such a nice rhythm. I really liked how things got denser and more condensed as the week progressed and it all sort of bled together - and, of course, how it glitches at the start of the next week at the end. it really feels like Haven is falling apart and it makes me feel for him so deeply.
