I Can't Do This by Myself

A raw, autobiographical comic series self-published by Martin Ernstsen since 2007, I Can't Do This by Myself chronicles the messy, unglamorous realities of life with unflinching honesty. Across its three issues, Ernstsen collaborates with Linnette Barkley and Marshtin, each contributing their own artistic and narrative voice to a shared exploration of vulnerability, failure, and the quiet struggle to keep going. The series matters as a deeply personal artifact from Norway's indie comics scene, proving that even the smallest, most intimate stories can resonate when told with courage.
