sometimes miracles take time,

love, warmth, family, friends,

food, barrels and barrels of water,

bananas, so much ice cream,

sometimes hope is fed by cocoa,

tea, earl gray, hot,

honey by the spoonful,

seaweed salad and chicken soup,

sushi and soda pop,

morning coffee, evening pills,

sometimes we live minute to minute,

in fact, we have no choice but to.

may all your minutes,

between the awful, painful times,

be peaceful.

be calm.

somewhere out there... some dumb artist really loves you.

If you run into pages without navigation links, i apologize! Posting a comic on Tumblr is like herding ants with a toothpick.

The best place to read is anewcalamity.com where i have much better control of the website. There are no ads (the site is patreon funded), and a whole archive where you can find a particular page if you like. And you can comment on each page. Each comment is moderated so no spam gets through.

(silly me, i got the date wrong on the last post. MY BRAIN DON'T WORK. Today is 2-28-2024. Status Update: Getting all my meds in order and exercising lightly. Aquacare has been incredibly helpful in pain management. I am fighting anxiety and depression off with a stick.)

Reader-Friends, thank you so much for your support! I'm experiencing some level of seizure almost every day now (my meds are very late, ty insurance). So I'm working slower. Taking naps. Cooking good food. I'm so happy I don't have a Real Job, quote unquote. I could never make it work with cancer. I'd fall apart from the stress and fatigue.

I feel your love. you make me feel like it's all gonna be okay.

i have enough funds now to pay for my site space, photoshop etc. Thank you all so much!

today is 2.10.2024. birthday on 2.14. i'll be 33. been fighting cancer for 8 years now! there have been so many days i thought i wouldn't make it. but i keep waking up in the morning.

may my comic bring you joy, strength, understanding and ultimately, confidence to keep going, no matter how broken the road is. And it's not you that is broken. It's the road before you. Maybe someone in the past took a sledgehammer to it. Maybe the broken road is your only choice available. Go slow. Step in the footsteps left behind by others. If you fall, let others pick you up.

love you.

STATUS UPDATE: As many of you may already know, I had a major seizure over New Year's, and after scans it's been made clear that my cancer is back for the 4th time, and it's living rent-free in my brain. I'm on a new chemo and a new anti-seizure medicine. Getting used to everything has been... a challenge.

I'm turning 33 on Valentine's Day. I'm honestly surprised I made it this far. I plan on living for as long as is scientifically possible for someone in my situation. Some happy birthdays would be nice. :3

I'm still about $30/m bucks short of being able to afford nice things like groceries and healthy food. I'm still drawing, which makes me feel satisfied with my life. If you can-- if you can afford to-- if you love this comic-- consider sending me a dollar or two. Just a little goes a long way. And my needs are few. Good food, drawing this comic on my janky old computer. Family. Friends. My cats.

I don't see why I should die just because a few of my cells went nutso.

Love,

-Faith April (Maldrea)

I only have until the third before I get money for food, but until then I have like...nothing. I'm down to half a box of pasta, nothing to put on it, and one roll of toilet paper. so I am. kinda anxious. can anyone spare some funds so I can get a pack of toilet paper and some other stuff to eat?
