Last week I wrote about the challenges of maintaining one’s motivation to create. Especially when it seems there are forces that are actively working against you. An example of such Resistance was personalized in the figure of the Fairy Godmother of Meh and her interference with our little pal, Ralph Elfalfa. However, hope of regaining his ambition appears when a good friend arrives on the scene…

Sometimes we get by with a little help from our friends. Hopefully, everyone has a Randy Dandylion in their lives; someone to break the curse of the doldrums and uncover a person’s hidden passions. So, “Take That! Fairy Godmother of Meh!”

If you need a break, to take a walk, to play with your new kitten, to meditate or to climb a mountain, whatever it takes to revitalize your creative energy, I would encourage you to do it. As long as it leads you back to your passion.

I would also encourage you to find inspiration by checking out the work of others like our graphic novels the fantasy-adventure The Sorcerer’s Children or the high-flying sci-fi adventure The Adventures of Astrodog! Perhaps we’ll even see Ralph and Friends again here in a doodle blog. Let me know if you’d like to see further shenanigans from those magical characters. Until then, keep those “Mehs” at bay and get to work!
