Happysad revisited

Some people are getting impatient… To them I say: I’m working on new stuff guys, but you have to wait just a little bit longer. In the meanwhile, to get your appetite (and mine) going, I thought I’d start with a few re-runs. Yes re-runs, don’t we all love them? Look at it this way: it will be more like a re-release of a dvd with added bonuses such as… the director’s commentary. Long story short, I’ve decided to repost five of my personal favourite episodes and raise a corner of the veil by adding some comments.
And we start of with… the very first Happysad cartoon ever.

How it all started

This is how it all started. One morning, back when I was going through a particularly bad time in my life, I woke up with this one idea for a cartoon. It was something completely different from the cartoons I usually make. Drawn much more simple and basic, to put all the focus on the message itself. I thought it would be just this one-off. It wasn’t. I thought up another one. And another. And… well, you know what happened next.

Happysad just took me by surprise.

  1. i love this one! i’ve been using it as my desktop background since a couple of months and i think it’s one of the purest happysads (if that exists, i’m not sure if there’s something like a ‘pure’ happysad)

  2. It was actually this cartoon, and ‘value for money’ that lead me to do *something*.
    The *something* didn’t imediately avail anything, but now, slowly but steadily, I feel the warmth of possible impending happiness swirling around me.

    I’m so serenely happy.

    Jeroen, you might just have inspired this girl (me) enough to have helped her get the guy she loves and longs for back. Thank you so very much! :)

  3. Thank god for shitty times in our lives.
