Matthew Inman talks intrusive thoughts, longform comics, and his new game, Horrible Therapist
Briefly

Matthew Inman’s latest venture, Horrible Therapist, combines humor and mental health awareness by allowing players to create comic strips, providing a creative outlet for discussing difficult topics.
Inman’s work has always blended lightheartedness with introspection, and Horrible Therapist exemplifies this approach by tackling serious mental health issues within a comedic framework, inviting players to engage with their thoughts playfully.
The game, which allows players to design comics through a collaborative format, aims to normalize conversations around intrusive thoughts and mental health while providing entertainment and camaraderie.
Reflecting on his own experiences with intrusive thoughts, Inman was inspired to create Horrible Therapist as a tool for both amusement and serious dialogue about mental health struggles.
