The most awkward thing about publishing this comic is not that the person I’m talking about will read this and realize the jig is up, it’s worrying that someone who I don’t actually have a beef with will think it’s about them.

A lot of his opinion also boiled down to believing that Schulz’s knowledge of the human condition gave him an insight that didn’t require him to have first hand knowledge of Depression or any other neurological issues. He acknowledged Schulz was neurotic (he was essentially agoraphobic in his later years), but seemed to have a view of mental illness that lacked nuance and was, in my opinion, harmful.
Hijacking his panel to challenge his understanding of mental illness didn’t seem productive, though. I still wonder if I made the right decision by backing down.

I just want everyone to learn from my mistakes. My stupid, stupid mistakes.
