You know, I totally sympathize with this guy. But on the other hand, i totally sympathize with Bruno here. Which is probably why I’m the author, it’s just that kind of strip. :)
That’s one of the great traits of Susan, even though Bruno just walked out to do this deed right under Susan’s, nose, Susan is able to stand back and just see that Bruno is hurting.
Sometimes I find that when I’m sad I need to read something sad, or see a sad movie, or hear a sad song. Doing so makes me feel fuller and perhaps less alone (although I’m not so fond of seeing others sad when I’m this way, “misery loves company” isn’t really the same thing for me in this case). Something to happy or bland just makes me feel more alienated.
Although this is less the case than it once was. I now usually put on music or read a book which is empowering or energetic, to help me get out.
I’m not sure which is better, truer, or anything. Just what I do.
I often feel like this on bad days, just need a wee bit of cheer. I also want to say that at the time a friend of mine was ill or something and was cheered up by daisies, but it was so long ago I’ve forgotten.
When I wrote this, a friend of mine had just told me that she had been diagnosed with having a non-cancerous ovarian cyst. I wrote this strip to cheer her up.
It’s my birthday! I’m turning 5! So old!
Even back in 1996, Mikey had decent cell-phone etiquette. Gad, did I even KNOW anyone with a cell-phone back then?
Sometimes you have to laugh at the stupid shit you do, because being depressed and self-criticizing just takes too much out of you.
I simply like Randall. What can I say.
This strip was based on an experience I had when accidentally dunked underwater at the wrong time. Breathing in water was very peculiar and not something I have ever forgot.
Ah, Jess and Leslie’s apartment (people in the real world). I recognized that background right away. What a lot of memories.
I so much love playing with words. I’ve tried to get away from that in my humor, to try new things (although I still use generous amounts of wordplay), but when writing this it was so new and fresh and fun to simply play.
