Steemian vs. "The Bear" - Page #004 pencils!

Alright. So here we are. I glanced at CoinMarketCap.com this afternoon while mulling over Steemit and our community with @lovejoy. We both took a heavy sigh as we digested $0.16 STEEM. It’s a tough pill to swallow. The creative solutions we threw around were really encouraging. That’s one of my absolute favorite things about @lovejoy. No point in adding the gloss right now; these are dark days for Steemit, but when he and I put our heads together, we inevitably hit a point where our enthusiasm manifests that early Steemit excitement from 2016 and 2017.

As we talked, I sketched on my iPad Pro. What has become a therapeutic outlet for me regarding the inescapable pessimism is to draw more of the endless battle I’ve named “Steemian vs. ‘The Bear’”. If you aren’t familiar, this is an on going comic pitting a representation of our beloved Steemit […in hero form], against a representation of the bear market. That’s it. No story. Just a fight that will not end, and the pace is dictated by the actual crypto-market. That eliminates me from having to “write” an outcome […although I do get to make a few clever jabs occasionally].

Sorry to tell you, but $0.16 STEEM means we’re still getting our asses kicked by “The Bear”. I once read an interview with Robert Kirkman and he said “…the most beloved characters must suffer the most horrific deaths.”. I don’t take pleasure in this abuse to our home team, but it’ll make our triumph so much more satisfying, when that day comes […and it will come]. I can’t wait to draw the first page of the Steemian blocking attacks Neo-style, but sadly, that won’t be today. Thank you for following this little digital ashcan.
