I used to have a pair of heart boxers. I remember them fondly.
In fact, I’d say that Lenny more than any of the other characters, resembles my wardrobe.
When I first published this strip, a man and maybe his wife (the memory is a bit hazy now), wanted to maybe do an animated version of Bruno. This was the strip they chose for a sample strip. Although nothing more was ever done (that I’m aware of) on the project, I still remember that fondly and still hear their voices reading the strip.
See? It’s more than a running gag, it’s a running gag within a running gag. How intellectual is that?
“When I can be passionate and yet in control of my emotions I’ll be content that they are reasonable”
Heh. I mean, how many times have you said THAT to yourself? Am I right?
Never? Oh. Hrm.
Life is full of pretending blah blah blah.
I think what this strip REALLY was about, was me wanting to draw that dragon.
These guys were fun jokers to write. I think they may also partially be both what I imagined my bosses were thinking with a bit of what i HOPED they were thinking.
