WE HAD SO MUCH FUN CREATING THIS COMIC. WE HOPE YOU HAVE JUST AS MUCH FUN READING IT.

BEING PART OF THE COMIC REALLY HELPED ME UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT IT CAN BE TO GET HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT.

I HOPE THIS COMIC HELPS ABORIGINAL MEN TO SEEK HELP FROM COUNSELLORS IF THEY NEED IT.

DEADLY!

HEY MUM, CHECK THIS OUT! I’M IN A COMIC BOOK!

LET’S INVENT A CHARACTER CALLED “TING LING”. MAKE HIM A CHINESE MINING PROSPECTOR. HE STRIKES IT BIG AND HELPS THEM SET UP THE MEN’S HEALTH CENTRE.

I NEVER KNEW THAT THERE WAS HELP AVAILABLE FOR MEN, SO THEY CAN HAVE A GOOD YARN AND OFFLOAD. NOW I DO!
