I own this voice. I know the sound of it, and the texture of it, because I can't recall not hearing it. That critical, insidious, oozing black goo of just...wrongness. I've learned, over the years, that this voice is not actually right. It is not a lingering truth, or a buried secret. I don't know what it is, but I know that it's wrong.
That said, I still look forward to the day when I can deal with it as effortlessly as Brand does.
Strange, to have a character surpass his creator.

Guh... that voice monster looms in the shadows... that's why I always keep it bright.
I thought of this a while back: "What if one of my characters actually became better than me?" It wasn't a good feeling...
I love this page.
That voice is many things, many things indeed. But what it is is not what is important. Rather, what it is not is the important thing. What it is not is right. Although I think you know that already.
As to dealing with that voice, I've been living with something similar, abeit probably different, for the better part of my life. I find that part of dealing with it is haveing a sense of purpose that is greater than it is. For me, it comes down to a battle of will, and I will not be the one to lose out to some voice creeping around in the shadows, too afraid to face me in the light (ok, I connect with David. So sue me :P).
Confront the voice and concore it!
on a diffrent note! I spy a box!
Well, when I read this graphic novel I can only attest that you are right and that voice of yours is wrong. Utterly wrong. Maybe you will need some mental earplugs (hand you some). Does it help?

Haha! If only it was as easy as some earplugs and a battle. In my case, I'm a very confrontational person as it is, so I don't think a fight is the answer. If it was, it would make things so much easier.
Thanks tho. :)
I wish I could do that with my inner voice.
Rock on, Brand! You're a great inspiration. <3
