If I recall correctly, this strip was inspired by receiving a gift, from my dad, of an article of clothing which was fine, but possibly something I wouldn’t wear very much as it wasn’t really my “style.” Just as I’m sure my dad rarely if ever wore ANY of the ties I gave for father’s day. :)
Since Bruno was acting loopy, I had her take it to the extreme.
Frankly, i like it, a short-sleeve button-up cat-print shirt. :)

This was based on an actual incident at UMass, but unfortunately I do not recall the details, and so can’t really explain it. but I’m sure it was insightful and funny!
This strip may have come from the fact that, although I drink sometimes and have gotten drunk on occasion, I am not a regular drinker. And there is nothing less fun than being sober around someone drunk who thinks it would be fun to do something stupid or awful.
Happy New Years!
This strip brings me back to the Aesop’s Fable, where the fox, not being able to reach the grapes, states that “they were probably sour anyway.”
Here again is why Donna is awesome.
The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth. It’s an interesting thing in that this philosophy is very much ingrained in our culture. Although we stray further and further from it, as we become more a culture of self-greed, it is still all over movies and everything — that being humble and thinking of others first is the only princess who will get swept up by her knight.
but it’s still a Christian construct, and also, where is the line drawn? I am a big believer in a certain level of hedonism, of truly devouring the moment and enjoying it, and also thinking of yourself as much as others.
Anyhow, just rambling. No real point.
This strip always makes me giggle. Both that she’d use a compact, simply because it kinda’ opens the way a badge would, but that Donna would then ask the VERY good question.
Back at UMass I got a really nasty letter about this one. Someone had read this strip without reading any strip before it and felt I was saying that all lesbians are into deviant S&M practices.
I actually managed to iron the whole conflict out, and later even met the woman, and it was all good.
How’s that for an undramatic story! :)
Sometimes this happens to me (except I usually feel a bit bad about it) where I’m sarcastic or joking beyond reason, and the person I’m speaking with takes me seriously. Unfortunately, my instinct is to keep pushing the joke/sarcasm, which only makes me feel worse when they (usually) still don’t get it.
Bruno has no problem with this. :)
I remember finding this very funny, that this expression used to mean “something I don’t know how to describe” is directly translated from French as “I don’t know what.” Which is about how Bruno felt.
