An illustrator named Guy Kopsombut, going under the nickname '4amshower', has recently posted a comic and was contacted by a fan named Jeroen also known as FrozenFoodGuy on imgur. What started as a compliment to the artist, eventually unfolded into a heartwarming story.
Jeroen commented under one of Guy's illustrations, saying his comic was ‘a nice post to wake up to’ as he was undergoing chemotherapy for lung cancer. Guy quickly responded, saying he would send Jeroen a print of the comic. “I was a bit dazzled when I received his message, especially when in our correspondence he offered to send me 2! Honestly, it made me a bit emotional. I often love stories where people reach out to each other, and now I was part of such a story myself!” Jeroen told Bored Panda. He also shared some great news - turns out his health is getting better and a recent X-ray showed no signs of a tumor. "Even though I still have a long road to go, things are starting to look up again!” shared Jeroen.
Guy shared his optimistic outlook on life too: “I want to do something to remind people that there is still good in the world, to help them smile on a daily basis. My goal every day is to help one person, any one person in the world smile each day with my comics". He also says that if he is able to do that, then the comics are worth drawing. Guy mentioned that being raised as Buddhist and meditating regularly help him maintain his positive outlook.
