This is a fun take on a character break down. I just wanted to say that I like the art work Adele, very nice. But I am concerned that your character may be suicidal with Otis Reddings' "Sittin on the Dock of the Bay", your character has so much to live for think about the vistas!

I wish I wasn't at work right now so that I could add my own I'll have to do it after.
