COMICS

Tools of Mental Health

Four panels. Panel 1: A heart with a hole cut out of it, next to a drill with a hole saw attachment. Caption: “Hole in your heart saw” (hole and saw are underlined). Panel 2: a man stands with a monkey on his back; he reaches behind him with a monkey wrench, trying to pry the monkey off. Caption: “Monkey on your back wrench” (Monkey and Wrench are underlined). Panel 3: Close up on a pipe wrench. It has a thought bubble with a pipe wrench on top of a winner’s podium with a gold medal next to other tools. Caption: “Pipe dream wrench” (Pipe and Wrench underlined). Panel 4: two hands push a phone with the TikTok logo into the blades of a scroll saw. Caption: “Doom scroll saw” (Scroll and Saw underlined)

The inspiration for this comic came from reading about a ‘coping saw’ and I thought about ‘hardly coping saw’. I went through a few different books worth of tools to try to find things that might match that vibe.
