Comics Without a Prescription: Episode 1 of 2

A four-panel black-and-white comic strip titled 'THE INSIDERS' shows a man asking a spherical, stick-figure-like character what they're doing. The character replies 'being creative,' which surprises the man. The character then explains that being creative helps with depression and anxiety, but when asked what they're creating, they admit it's a 'stupid comic strip' and say their mood is already lifting. The humor comes from the character's self-deprecating admission that their creative outlet is making a comic strip about their own depression, which ironically lifts their mood.
