that's cute tho, what was the name of that guy? do you have (old) drawings of them if you draw?

>>81782880
i didn't do drawings of them at least i don't remember i did, i think i gave him a name but for the life of me i can't remember sorry anon.

i do remember playing tag with him i even told some neighborhood kids they just laughed at me understandable i guess i did kinda look ridiculous playing tag by myself

neighborhood kids didn't wanna hang out with me after they found me talking to them dancing around to some autistic my little pony song

That's really cool. Wish I could have had your brand of autism instead of mine. Hope the publishing goes well and your comic sells.
