Perfectly Acceptable

"I wrote Prayer to Saint Therese in the fall and winter of the Pandemic, when I was thinking a lot about the uncertain future, as well as my shortcomings as a romantic partner and friend. It takes place 20 years in the future, but feels autobiographical anyway. My family is Catholic and St. Therese was important to my grandmother. I sometimes worry about what I'm left with if I've chosen to reject a belief system like religion, or the framework of traditional adult life. This comic is a response to that anxiety." -Alabaster Pizzo
