Assuming that you are still alive and mentally capable of reading your letter 10 years in the future, of course.

Dear 24-year old self:
Some old hints from when you were younger:
- IGNORE PERFECTION! Yes, I know, when you start a comic page, the remnants of your old perfectionist ego as an 8-year-old kick in, and you get artist block because it's not exactly as you expected it to be. RELAX!
- Keep drawing. Just draw around the clock. Only stop for bathroom breaks, sex, and food.
- Do not circumcise your possible child if it is a boy. Remember the internet research on circumcision when you were 14? (Which I did recently and I'm now convinced that circumcision has no hygenic or medical benefits.)
- If you give birth to a child and the child is a girl, do not, and I repeat, DO NOT decorate her bedroom in pink or some other stupid girly princess colour. Expose her to your lifestyle, assuming you still like spikes, chains and heavy music by then.
- Allow the child to watch movies with nudity. It may help allow him/her to gain a less taboo view of it.
- Don't drink beer. It tastes disgusting.
- Get an apartment.
- Have only ONE child. Remember how annoying children are in groups.
- I hope you have figured out your non-comic job by now. If not, I suggest a career in biology or artwork designing for some art studio.
Cheers,
Your 14-year-old self
