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.
I remember the first time I heard the dance remix of Carmina Burana (“O Fortuna” to be precise). I was appalled. Now I laugh along with it. I have become an immoral hard-skinned goof-ball.
I’m not sure if Bruno is being honest, or purposely obtuse to invite further “explanation.” I also very much like the fact that I’m not sure,
One of the fun things about creating a strict rule (strips will be only one panel) is to break the rule (several panels) when it really really adds to the strip. It’s also fun to make Bruno get all dopey.
