Funny, I know a huge kernal of my novel “Loved Into Submission” was from King Lear, and I know that Jeremy was the split twin of Arthur, and that Jeremy just appeared in Bruno, which means that i had King Lear on the mind. Why that was? I’m not sure. But it’s interesting for me to look back and see those clues.
Oh and I love her line “how much further is the aiport?” :)

Bruno’s dad is a funny character to write. For the first while in the strip, he really got more and more angry and conservative, but he shows a nice depth in the later years.
Anyone that old wearing a black turtleneck and reading Kafka’s “Metamorphosis,” is in trouble.
Perhaps I overdid it a bit on how far he’s “fallen.” An amusing, but perhaps also a cheap list.
Awkward family repressed emotional love.
Not that i know a thing about it.
Hard to be too resentful of the truth, even if delivered meanly.
It can be hard transitioning into an adult relationship with one’s parent. Sometimes it’s even best not to.
And hey, might I mention that I have books for sale at the Topatoco Store? Yup, I just might.
Parent-child relationships always fascinated me. How complicated they are.
I don’t totally believe Bruno and her last line. ;-)
He gave her an Iron, and I’m pretty sure she gave him “My Neighbor Totoro.”
