Bludy v hlavě / Úzkosti, pochybnosti a jiní spolubydlící – Casas Alfonso (2023)

You're not good enough. Simply put, you were lucky. Others are better and more qualified than you. Have you ever been struck by similar doubts in the middle of the night? Do you sometimes think about what you could have said differently in a conversation two years ago? Does something compel you to read the same text message a million times to figure out what the sender "really" meant? Alfonso Casas, one of the most popular Catalan comic creators, feels the same way. He drew an intimate and humorous comic about his life with the monsters that live in his head, casting little monsters that embody fears, doubts, traumas, toxic thoughts, worries about an uncertain future, or social anxiety in supporting roles. This has resulted in a bestiary of contemporary society that has become a sensation and is being published in places like the United States and China. "Even the happiest person in the world sometimes suffers from anxiety or doubt. Alfonso Casas shows us a way to come to terms with them," says therapist Honza Vojtko, who recommended this comic to us and our readers.
