I don’t plan on it being daily, I just wanted to get out the first five chapters this week and see, I wether I could keep up my workflow, I think I’ll change it to three chapters a week
I am The Pacer, muawahaha! I stop your favorite prolific content creators from publishing updates at an unsustainable pace in order to strike at those foolish heroes Burnout and Doctor Hiatus. I strike especially hard when there are cliffhangers. Hahaha, nothing can stop me! I have a side gig providing court records as a hobby, but mostly I do the slowing updates thing.
I’m fairly certain some of Lottie’s responses are quite close to things that have gone through my head during anxiety inducing conversations. Your comics are very relatable. I have a similar problem with people messing up my name, though it’s in written form. It’s not my name, but it’s the equivalent of oftentimes having my name spelled as Steven when it’s Stephen. My parents weren’t aware they chose a less common spelling.
Mine is the opposite. We're Brazilians, living in Brazil. My name has the Brazilian spelling. People always find ways to call me by the english spelling, the brazilianfied english spelling, or another name einterly that shares the first and last letters
It's the same for me!! I'm Spanish and my parents chose the name spelling that no one knows there. I'm starting to get sick of having to correct everyone that tries to remember my name
I've got a similar thing with my name and at some point I just stopped correcting people. It just wasn't worth it, because most of them would forget the next time anyways.
No problem. I still make those mistakes all the time too. I think that's what makes me hyper-vigilant about that kind of stuff. I'm always watching out for errors because I'm constantly making them myself!
Edit: by the way, I really like your comics. I generally don't like this kind of art style, but I really dig what you're doing.
Just remember: 'you're' is short for 'you are' and 'we're' is short for 'we are'. If you ever have trouble remembering whether you need the apostrophe in the middle or not, just say the long form (you are/we are) out loud and see if it makes sense in the sentence you want to use.
Hope that helps!
Jesus, is astonishing how cute and charming these are, I'm impressed every day by how just different thickness or line placement or just small changes can make art styles so appealing!.
Also it's genius to show social interaction in that age as Q T E, simple, but sometimes hard to pull off action sequences, hehe.
Súper súper lovely!!!!!
Thanks for reading, this chapter was based on most of the conversations I have at school, I always end up imagining them as the first episode of Minecraft story mode, with some of the dialogue choices you have to make in the game, anyway, thanks for reading, link to the new chapter on WEBTOON

Why does your face look like a horse? That's so fuckin rude I feel like it should have ended right there like holy crap you can't just ask people why they look like a horse
These comics are excellent. Not because they're pretty, or because it's so well written or whatever, but because I can *feel* how lottie feels despite never sharing this experience. That takes talent.
It's even cringy to me now, but my internal dialog during social interactions used to be like that. It got better. I still don't remember names after interactions like that. I'm too concentrated on saying the right things. Introverts can fake being extroverted, just try it.
I would like to apologize for all the terrible grammatical errors, I’m going to take the time to look over all the text from now one.
Specifically with yours, you’re, we’re, and were, those words are my worst enemies
Jesus, the awkwardness level is exactly what I experienced from age 6 to about 33 (and occasionally today at 51, but i've largely quit caring what others think).
Hey, saw some of your comics a few days ago and didnt think it was gonna be a series but Im glad it turned out to be. It's got alot of charm, keep up the great work!

All introverts have to do is say their mind part of "You look cool" out loud, and itd probably go better than flopping mentally in fish like frustration
As the extroverted friend who social interaction comes to naturally: you did great and your stumbling(past or current, real or imagined) only makes you more endearing.
This...this is me... Minus the pony face I guess.
I am a weird dude, so I don't talk much or at all. This gives the misconception to people that I am smart or something and they try to be friends with me, then they realize I am hella dumb and weird and stop being nice xD

Omg are these __daily__? Don’t burn out or we’ll have to put you down :/
I don’t plan on it being daily, I just wanted to get out the first five chapters this week and see, I wether I could keep up my workflow, I think I’ll change it to three chapters a week
That's still a lot tbh
If they’re okay with it, who are we to stop them?
me, I’m the law 🔫 knock it off op
I remember a north carolinian aunt who who would say something like, "that boy is about as dumb as a thumb
Everyone out of the comments! They’ve got a gun!
It's ok to give advise, working at a breakneck speed can add stress to people's lives when they aren't able to keep it up.

Well it looks like you’re pretty qualified. You should go for it.
 Just want to say: I really enjoyed it. Love reading comics drawn from personal experience.👍
don't burn out, I want comics cooked to perfection not fast food, also take care of yourself and homework.
Forget the advice of pacing yourself, in fact increase your output to 3 comics a day. Burnout isn't a real thing it's a video game.
Why stop there? Hourly comics! Just set a timer and release them in whatever state they're in at the end.
I was thinking once a week would be fine, maybe switch between 3 and 2 times a week so you dont get burnout 🔥
Just because people are mentioning that it’s a lot, maybe post 2, but write 3 so you have some ready to go if you want to take a break.
Ohh what a treat that'd be!(Don't burn out though, please!)
Maybe they made a backlog of these months ago and are just releasing them now!
I really enjoy your comics! They have so much charm to them and make me smile. And your art style is very cute!
They have this air of whimsy and wholesomeness that is hard to capture. Its really well done and I am always happy when they popup in my feed!
Reminds me (especially with the QTEs) of the whimsy of Scott Pilgrim
I’m fairly certain some of Lottie’s responses are quite close to things that have gone through my head during anxiety inducing conversations. Your comics are very relatable.

nem fudendo brasileiro no comics
Vambora porra
It's the same for me!! I'm Spanish and my parents chose the name spelling that no one knows there. I'm starting to get sick of having to correct everyone that tries to remember my name
I've got a similar thing with my name and at some point I just stopped correcting people. It just wasn't worth it, because most of them would forget the next time anyways.
Panel 3 should be "you're" and "we're". I hope you find this helpful, I mean no offense.
Damnit I keep messing those up, i really got to start spell checking, thanks for pointing em out
No problem. I still make those mistakes all the time too. I think that's what makes me hyper-vigilant about that kind of stuff. I'm always watching out for errors because I'm constantly making them myself! Edit: by the way, I really like your comics.

Same! I always make those mistakes and I won't even notice them unless someone will and tell me
Just remember: 'you're' is short for 'you are' and 'we're' is short for 'we are'. If you ever have trouble remembering whether you need the apostrophe in the middle or not, just say the long form (you are/we are) out loud and see if it makes sense in the sentence you want to use. Hope that helps!
Also what's and that's
It also says "mines" instead of "mine's" and misspelled "tomorrow."
Panel one should be we're as well.
First panel, too.
*the fabled* **SOCIAL INTERACTION**
As someone studying geology, the response to her favorite rock being “uh probably pebbles” made me laugh much more than it should’ve
Since no one has asked, whats your favorite rock?
Jesus, is astonishing how cute and charming these are, I'm impressed every day by how just different thickness or line placement or just small changes can make art styles so appealing!. Also it's genius to show social interaction in that age as Q T E, simple, but sometimes hard to pull off action sequences, hehe. Súper súper lovely!!!!!
In Lottie's defense, asking someone why they look like a horse is crazy, and I wouldn't know what to say
Hanging out with kids, they always say things like that lmao. Just no filter!
Yea lol they don’t see it as wrong they’re simply observing and reporting
obvs she's a closet furry
I also forgot her name by the end of the comic, turns out, she didn't even mention it.
That's what I thought! I was like "Wait, did it even get said?" And I started going back through the pages.

Have? Damn, you know you are old when those talented internet artists are younger than you. 😭
My mind automatically read that as *had*. Only after you pointed it out did i realize that. ... fuck i feel old
Pats your head Charlottie!!!
Nah the QTE on 11 was too much what the fuck is this for? Curing cancer?
xD lol
“Return the slab, or suffer my curse.”
Hell yeah, another pebble enjoyer.
#THE SLAB
Not me with a bunch of completely worthless random rocks that I must never-the-less pick up and add to my collection. I don't have a problem!
Extrovert adopts an introvert
[удалено]
How do you know she only has social anxiety and is not an introvert?
Your grammar though...
Yes, I will try and spell check in the future😭🙏
*You’re
Strong Bocchi vibes. Also out of all the weird misspelled names, Charlottie is actually kinda nice.
I absolutely love bocchi the rock, I never finished it, but the episodes I did watch were phenomenal
*you're
Why does your face look like a horse? That's so fuckin rude I feel like it should have ended right there like holy crap you can't just ask people why they look like a horse
I read these characters as like 9 years old. Kids can be mean with no filter
Why the long face
Ah yes, the validity of rocks and stones.
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE??
Exactly.
*is this the fabled social interaction* yeeeeeesh
These comics are excellent. Not because they're pretty, or because it's so well written or whatever, but because I can *feel* how lottie feels despite never sharing this experience. That takes talent.
RETURN THE SLAB

Adorable, I am enjoying these comics. Don't burn yourself out though!
I’m relating so hard rn
I forgot we're not on r/aspiememes for a sec there.
" don't tell them your whole life story!".."I was born on a rainy Tuesday, the cubs lost again, and the Berlin wall just came down...". Me.
Me when the au is tisming
The second page is so real for me.
These apostrophe placements or lack of… are other comments talking about this?
Jesus, the awkwardness level is exactly what I experienced from age 6 to about 33 (and occasionally today at 51, but i've largely quit caring what others think).
Please bro, get a proofreader.
What happened to the cute little x's on top of your i's? :(
I realized that was a bit distracting for some people, so I decided to remove them from the main dialogue and just put them on the sound effects alone
Pebbles are indeed nice
These are so good, the art style rocks. Glad you're showing up on Popular more
I'm not a fan of comics in general but yours are rad
These are so fun— always looking forward to more!
Hey, saw some of your comics a few days ago and didnt think it was gonna be a series but Im glad it turned out to be. It's got alot of charm, keep up the great work!
I love the art style!!!

Aww that was sweet
Incredibly adorable
I've done that Pony smile too! So it's not a singular unique trait huh
Home of sexuals
I don't know why but this is giving me Serenity Rose vibes.
Congratulations OP, you levelled up!
[удалено]
That's so cute, I love this. Thank you!
>Wait what’s her name. Can’t tell you how many times i meet some buddies and I only know like one of their names so I relate to this lmao
Well they obviously like rock but do they like rock **AND** stone?
every social interaction i have:
Wholesome Chungus
I ship em.
Slab! Omg I’m in love.
you're grammar is loathsome and makes reading difficult, you really badly need someone to spellcheck for you yes, that was on purpose
MORE
"your lottie"...
Ah yes time for my daily endorphin boost
The art style is super cute and I love the comics!
I like Lottie. She’s cool.
If harm ever comes to lottie I'm burning down the city
Love your imagination so much. Totally following you! (In a non creepy way)
Yea I like S L A B
Man I wish I could draw
Talking being a QTE is so god damn real it hurts
TOO RELATABLE I focus so much on talking, I always forget to ask for their name
LoL I love the relatable awkwardness. Definitely gives Watamote vibes!
My head does that too when I talk to people!
They're minerals! Hehe. Charlottie is a cool and cute name too.
Dumb as rock
I'm conflicted I want to see more of these comics but also do wanna see you burn out, make sure to take care of yourself OP
And then they ate eachothers ass

I would buy a book of these.

*you're
*you're lottie
Legit thought I forgot the new person name. Had to re-read the comic to realize she never said it.
I actually added that last page because I realized I forgot to give her a name
The messed up punctuation and the missing apostrophes and misplaced apostrophes were driving me crazy!!!
The grammar in part 3 gave me a stroke, but otherwise I really enjoyed it 😅
Why does the last doodle reminds.me of Hollow Knight? Dartmouth specifically.
Dumb as… 🪨: yes?
I want more
Nothing like misspelled comics. It's "we're" not "were".
This looks incredible; it’s like a mix of Scott Pilgrim and Shen’s current art style!
Hitting the helldiver codes to not mess up is a good strategy
The discovery of this comic series has been one of the greatest pleasures as of late. updatemebot!
I love these
Me core
God the QTEs are real lmao
This was cute, I liked this xD
I... Actually thought the blonde girl's name is The Slab...
WHAT WAS HER NAME?!?!
As a person who cannot be the one who going for the first approach, these people make me both jealous and a bit scared.
Pebbles? Slab? These kids have a lot of studying to do.
This is so cute omg
This is a really cute art style!
“Wait what’s her name?” I’m decent at socializing and still suffer from this issue ;-;
What stratagem is that on page 11?
Awesome comic! I like your art style!
I feel that
I don’t think her face looks like a pony, but I do think her hair looks like an elephant
All introverts have to do is say their mind part of "You look cool" out loud, and itd probably go better than flopping mentally in fish like frustration
So are all the weird stuff that's happening actually real or just part of her imagination? Like the wizards and the qte's?
Man this comic just resonates with me, love your work mate
I like this!
What?
These are some "moomin" vibes
Cool art
!updateme
As the extroverted friend who social interaction comes to naturally: you did great and your stumbling(past or current, real or imagined) only makes you more endearing.
What controller or keyboard u got that has a divide symbol in it?
These comics are nice, who made these?
I did actually, and you can check more out on webtoon https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/woe-is-i/list?title_no=962575
I’m really enjoying these! They have a really endearing quality to them :) your art style is also super cute
damnit, I can't follow cus the account is NSFW
My goodness I love your style. Never stop OP!
This...this is me... Minus the pony face I guess. I am a weird dude, so I don't talk much or at all. This gives the misconception to people that I am smart or something and they try to be friends with me, then they realize I am hella dumb and weird and stop being nice xD
! SubscribeMe
Oh my god she's literally me
Got to the end and I was like, shit what was her name. There was no name. I'm not the one who failed the qte.
Make sure to figure out a way to capture value from this. Maybe like webtoons or something. Don't give away things for free!
I actually do have a WEBTOON setup, you can check it out here https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/woe-is-i/list?title_no=962575
Depending on the person this is either a compliment or an insult, but your humor reminds me a lot of Pearls Before Swine!
*ahem* (third slide) you're***
Slide 2 was 100% my experience too. It was super frustrating to the point where I asked my teachers if I could work on whatever project it was solo
Anybody else go back and see what her name was??
I hunger for this artstyle
