Oh, oh, yes, I so relate! Beautiful, beautiful comic. The redemptive powers of cigarettes (and booze) in times of heartbreak & turmoil are still being studied by scientists across the globe.

Especially love the last frame, and how the hole in the heart/solar plexus region gets smaller with time but doesn’t diminish entirely, even over a year on. So very real.

Don’t forget the redemptive trashy magazines! All of the Smoke in Your Eyes comics have been so touching.
