Picking up a pen and committing your deepest thoughts and darkest secrets to paper can be a therapeutic, frightening and thrilling experience. A silent ear that listens without judgment, there is no better place to share your most personal thoughts than in your diary.

Diaries come in many forms, such as journals and sketchbooks, and with today (September 22) being Dear Diary Day, we wanted to sneak a guilt-free peek into some of the unique, personal accounts featured on GoComics:

Doodle Town is a creative close-up on the life of cartoonist Melissa Lomax. This delightful book of doodles will leave you laughing and "awww-ing," as her personal stories and artwork inspire you to find the magic in your own everyday experiences.

Jim's Journal features the quiet adventures and day-to-day meta-observations of Jim, as recorded in his daily journal. Accompanied by little more than scribbles and stick figures, the minimalist display of words in Jim's Journal speaks volumes, and has been adored by readers since 1987.
