this comic is heartbreaking in the most mundane, down-to-earth way. I want to give Haven a hug and the best rested nap he's ever had. by the end I was fully about to cry.

it's also visually stunning - you employ so many different art styles, from the abstract, textured paintings of Haven's dreams, to the delightful incorporation of photography, to the corporate logo-esque symbols that make up his time at work - that captures his mood and activities perfectly. his dreams are unsettling to look at. the food is familiar and appetizing. the different ways you write the text also help a lot - shoutout to Haven's wall of text panic in the video rental place, the giant screaming mattress commercial, and his anger-panic at sleeping all day Saturday. and, of course, I adore your art! I love your style, and I love how you draw people, especially gestures and expressions, like when Haven talks to Cypress. I think my favorite page is the one of him tossing and turning in bed. the repetition in this set up such a nice rhythm. I really liked how things got denser and more condensed as the week progressed and it all sort of bled together - and, of course, how it glitches at the start of the next week at the end. it really feels like Haven is falling apart and it makes me feel for him so deeply.

ive been rereading this comment since you posted it and mostly just going QuQ about it- im really glad you enjoyed it and i will gladly pass along hugs to haven <33333333333333333333333333
