Snakepit Gets Old comic by Ben Snakepit chronicles the author/artist's day-to-day existence from 2010 through 2012.

Ben Snakepit is back with a fresh collection of daily diary comics, chronicling years of his life in the familiar three-panel format. With each day's entry, whether mundane or momentous, a narrative unfolds as recurring characters populate his world - from the drudgery of Some Shitty Job to the comfort of the local tacqueria or home. Aptly titled, Ben's journey transitions from youthful antics to the weighty responsibilities of adulthood, encompassing band breakups, career shifts, medical procedures like kidney stone removal, and much more. It's an existential ride that manages to be both mature and entertaining, suitable for audiences 18+ yet enjoyable for the entire family.

Snakepit gets old, I get old, we all get old. I enjoy diary comics. From Jesse Reklaw’s 10,000 Things to Do to James Kochalka's American Elf and The Sketchbook Diaries. Can reading them get a little mundane after awhile? Sure. Can life? You bet, but the act of reading them (and creating them as well, no doubt) becomes a ritual. Life ain’t all cheesecake and raspberry smoothies, at least in my experience.

I keep a journal myself. Been doing it for about five years. It reads much like this comic. There are plenty of fun nights and hungover days. There are hours filled with sucky work, but there are small victories and funny stuff in there too.

Ben thinks he can’t draw. So what? Not the point. I enjoyed reading this compilation of daily strips and I liked seeing what song he listened to on a given day. Don’t always agree with his opinion of movies and he’s dead wrong about Hunter S. Thompson, but he's right about Hose Got Cable. — Reglar Wiglar
