My self-doubt fairy is always there, mocking me, taunting me... I don't know who my self doubt fairy is modeled after though. I envy everyone. It says "your ugly, your fat, your worthless, no wonder no boys like you. your pathetic. All your friends have boyfriends except you."

[skye]

omg! i have to say my self doubt fairy would change every day from one popular girl to a very pretty girls every day. i havent killed it yet but one day that thing will go down

[Cherry]

my self doubt fairy probably looks like my classmate Cassandra. like, i really dont want her attitude, but i want her power that she has over people. i want her looks. to me, shes perfect. every time i look at her my little fairy says, why cant you hair hair like hers, why dont you have a body liker hers. and it bothers me, but that will change

[GG]

i wonder who my self-doubt fairy looks like

[Andie]

This reminds me of the song 'Kill Her Off' by The Ropes, haha.
Fits perfectly.

I think this was super cool. i feel like that sum times and to have someone shows you(in a funny way) that it's useless to look at yourself like that is awesome. I'll keep that last line with me. :) Merci

[Kimby]

[cHiBii]

[hanna_was_here]

i find it really interesting to think of self-doubt, who i'd envision as a demon, in the form of a fairy. in the way demons can embody our fears so we have to face them, do battle, and stand them down, the fairy has taunted you fairy-style, with a light dusting of put-downs and undercuts, just persistent enough to wake up your smash reflex. awesome. keep 'er down, your comix DO rock. : )

[Nesha]

This comix is great! I feel the same way sometimes

[Nisa]

Wow, I didn't think I would have found something like this. I have like the lowest self-esteem anyone could have. I'm always being put down and called ugly and everything. Whenever I say that I am, everyone would say, "Oh no! Youre not! Why do you say that!?"
But idk, I need a way to help my self-esteem balloon inflate again. And I dont know how...
This cartoon is pretty cool though :]

[Sama]

I really liked it. It has a really good message and I'm sure EVERYONE can relate in some way. The last line was good, too. haha

[krystal]

man, i wish i had could smash my insecurities to bits with a blunt object. they make my life so difficult!

[becca 'tyler']

i recently was told by some one who was my best friend for 2 years that i had ruined his life ever since he met me. after that i had all these horrible feelings of doubt about the kind of person i was was, and decided to change for the better by emphasizing what i like about me. one of my biggest changes was that i did not concern myself with other peoples negative feelings about me because i know i would never hurt anybody on purpose. that was my personal homocide of the self doubt fairy. as long as we all stay true and real to our selves,let them jusdge us, all they say is lies. ^^

YAYYY. This comic was great. I just killed my Self-Doubt Fairy with a staple gun! Thanx. Srsly, you are making girls' lives better by drawing these.

[Molly]

Rachel, dude, if I had a self-doubt fairy it would totally look like you because I'm way jealous of you. Your comics ROCK!

[Tati]

Actually I think the point of this comic is that Rachel must confront her envy for Sparrow instead of just ignoring it.

[Ally]

wow so she is jealous, that explains a lot.

Don't worry Rachel, most readers aren't trained artists who are nit-picky about anatomy.

p.s I love the smile on the fairy's face when she says "doom" lol! The idea of making the fairy's form reflect the person we envy most is genius!

[Tiffany]

You kill self doubt fairy Rachel
another brilliant comic!!!

[Stranger]

Just because your pretty on the outside doesn't mean your pretty on the inside. For people to like you you have to treat them right. (That is to sparrow! LOL)Hahahaha you got smashed by a book! XD

[Paitin]

I love all of these comics btu this one is my favorite I just wish I had a real self doubt fairy to squish! that would make me feel alot better everyday!

[Taylor]

Again another masterpiece! I really ought to start making my own comics...just need to actually get some talent. If I sent you some stuff would you critique it for me? I've always wanted to make a comic that was even mediocre or mildly successful.

p.s. I stink at Calculus. I feel for you.

[Cat]

Wow Rachel, another masterpiece!!!

[gina f]

i like tt last line! "kill your self doubt before it kills you."

[Melina]

sparrow is a slut! go, rachel!

[benita]

love your comics i wish i could draw like that

[SunNi]

This comic is soo cute, it's really uplifting, and your ending was fantastic. I love all your comics, keep up the good work.Ciao!!

[Kayla]

I love all her comics but this one couldn't have come at a better time. Loves it! :P

[BeenAFix]

I love the final line. Thanks for perking my day.

[Rachel Nabors]

that's who she was modeled after :)

[Sylera]

love it! your comics are so up lifting, and they make me ever so happy ^_^

when i saw your self doubt fairy, i instantly thought of "the green fairy" from alchohl bottles in Moulin Rouge.
