   I remember reading the entirety of Bruno through the night when I was fifteen and falling in love with it and her. It was like being on one nights leave from my depression.

   It’s very interesting to me how different of an experience it is to re-read it now, one strip a day, as a twenty-nine-year-old.

   I understand so many more of the references and the musings in general. In a sense I get more out of the comics now than I did then – but it’s come at a cost to some of my sense of wonder and glee. The first time I read it it was a both an exhilarating ride and a sort of cozy trance. This time it is much more of an intellectual engagement of the comic and the ideas in it.

   I’ve often read a great comic or book and wished I could read it for the first time again, and with Bruno I actually can, in a way. I’m thankful for that.

   Huh. I turned 29 nine days after you posted this to the website. Guess Bruno’s life is starting to line up with mine. How strange…
