Comic: “I’m going to be pretty and popular and have a really cool job and…”

Probably the “real”-est comic I’ve drawn in a while. I reconnected with a good friend from high school recently – and it got me thinking about how my life has turned out. I was a very awkward child (I mastered the whole ‘sitting in a corner and having loud conversations with myself’ thing) but I had huge ambitions. I was convinced future Grace would be pretty and popular and have like a million friends and have an awesome, high-powered career (I was shooting for Vice President of the United States, but I would have also accepted VP at any major company or a position as an Ambassador to the US).
