It always makes me laugh when emotional or romantic moments are interrupted by things which end up seeming ridiculously out of place: cars honking, knocking over a box of cereal, fire alarms. In this instance, it’s also gross because cats are simply cats.

Man, breakups always suck, almost more-so when you still both deeply care about each other. I did find this a good opportunity to slip in a little more depth to Donna’s character. That she also has a history of depression, and has managed to leave it mostly behind.
This is Bruno’s way of reaching out.
And that’s one of the things I love about her friendship with Lenny. They GET each other, and through all the problems, they know they’re both in it for the long haul.
I loved this background so much, it was part of what inspired me to eventually start using photo references all the time (that was the view from my window when I lived in Northampton).
It was also fun to write someone who clearly does NOT want cheering up.
Oh, and in this strip, I always felt I made her look a bit like a gelfling.
And mannn…. this one is a blast from the past. Comix Talk just posted it on their facebook page.
This is one of the few (only?) times I broke the fourth wall in the strip (except some early strips which got pulled or revised). But it was time to move the strip along, breakup depression begone!
Cat’s the line that cracks me up though. :)
Ah Bruno, literary and a double-meaning reference. But a nice cut is always good help to get through a breakup.
Ah, Bruno, never-pursued math whiz.
This is a thought I’ve often thought of. Although I feel I should have said sunrises rather than sunsets. These days I actually do often get up before the sun, but I can’t remember the last time I actually saw it. I need to go for morning walks, or perhaps move to a house with a better view. :)
Leo Buscaglia, professor at the University of South California, is known for his “Love 1A” course and book “Love” and for giving hugs to anyone who wanted one after each lesson.
This always both intrigued and weirded me out. Which means, it fascinated me.
In my actual reality (not as much in my head), I remember the book being a decent read.
Even I have to work to read some of these strips, but they do make sense. And the idea that some of us act obsessively rather than logically, and others see the logic of the situation but act in denial of it.
Which is kind of what separates Bruno from many (most?) written characters. Generally characters are written to not be self-aware, written to be victims of their own nature. She’s very aware of her nature, and is a victim of her not being able to act in a way that makes herself happy as a result.
I loved the idea of Mikey. Philosophical, world-worn, and can be found drinking cheap coffee at the local diner chain 24-7.
