Bruno’s escapism can sometimes get a bit tragic, as it is here — in the sense that what she is trying to escape is her own thoughts on the world. But even for the bold, sometimes a rest and escape is a lovely dream. :)
Ah, I do love me some Tennyson. It was fun comparing it to lovemaking.
Although I still love W.H. Auden for saying about Tennyson, “he had the finest ear, perhaps, of any English poet; he was undoubtedly the stupidest; there was little about melancholia that he didn’t know; there was little else that he did.”
I think I was going for a Canadian accent, maybe I had just watched “Strange Brew”? I have no idea. Anyhow, silly, but a bit embarrassing to re-read. :)
I’ve always thought that taking revenge for another was kinda’ weird. I mean, consequence is what keeps society in check and all that. But really, if someone takes me out, I’m already out, so don’t avenge it for my sake.
This strip was actually based on a conversation I had with my brother about whether tattoos showed “lack of foresight” or not. A very long conversation.
Still makes me laugh to remember.
A sweet strip. I think I wrote it after walking over the train bridge in Greenfiled MA down by the Dunkin Donuts.
It was fun designing Bruno’s (and Donna’s) dress for this series. I also enjoyed poking holes in her hating to go out dancing, a philosophy I’ve heard many times (and at times perhaps shared).
The picture on the wall is of Dylan Thomas, pulled from a book I had at the time of “The Artist as a Young Dog” given to me by my brother.
Balloon #2 is my own personal thoughts and conflicts on the matter boiled down best as possible. The rest are my thoughts on my thoughts.
