Oh! Who are you?”

“ummm… I’m me.”

“Me too! I’m me, too!”

“So we are all ‘me’ then?”

“YES!”

“Obvi.”

Blurb: (from the creators) A comic about a plural system, discovering that they are many people and learning to cope with that fact and work together. It is ultimately a comic about dissociative identity disorder from the perspective of the system itself, not as that singular person the outside world sees, nor as the singular person that the system has been believing themselves to be, but as they actually are: a messy group of people sharing a body and trying to make it work.

Why is it worth your time? It's good, fairly short, and one of the calmer DID stories; bad things happen, but abuse so far (as of strip #31) is only abstractly alluded to, and the focus is on the system building their sense of teamwork and putting their life together. WARNING: ongoing and unfinished!

Plural Tags: switching, DID, headspace, inner children

Denial is a big theme of this comic; there's only one headmate who's on the "none of this is real" train, but she is REALLY riding that train. She murders another headmate, though she later feels remorse. There is also corporeal death, suicidal feelings, and brief mention of hospitalization. As of this posting, the comic stops at #31, and by that point, abuse is barely mentioned, in only abstract terms.
