That’s an awful mirror to hold up.

Somebody has issues with commitment. Although it was kind of Aster to try to be understanding.

And why not, they can read it next week in the funny pages.

This is a decent attempt to express some of my philosophy of art. I don’t feel stories should all be horrible tragedies in order to be “real art,” but the saccharine sweetness of most of pop culture just exhausts me at times and I want something that’s at least a wee bit challenging.

Both, Bruno. Both.

I think it’s hard when you feel important to someone, and it feels good like your needed, and then you feel their behavior doesn’t show that they find you important.

It feels good when you eventually can let go of that attached feeling, to accept that we’re all in the moment, all in our head, and we do what we can.

I think a bit of my theater background and love for Shakespeare was leaking out here.

I think part of Bruno’s need to hide, aside from wanting to wait for Jay to forgive her and to make sure she doesn’t enjoy life in the meantime because she doesn’t feel that she deserves it, is that after long road-trips, one needs one’s own space a bit.

I really like being on top of tall things. Upper stories (or roofs) of houses, hilltops, tower tops. I don’t know why, but I love it. I think this strip was inspired by a tower in Oberlin, but it’s been so long I’m not sure.

My girlfriend just told me that this strip describes her. Hee. :)

Odd for Bruno to show such reserve.

That’s a sickle in the sky, btw. There was a whole underlying myth story to this storyline, but I’ll have to look it up, as I don’t remember it.
