Sometimes we want advice, and sometimes we want encouragement. And sometimes we have to specifically tell the person what we want. Ah, communication.

I’ve found that this sometimes happens in friendships, where you’re always joking around, but at some point you lose grasp of what is joke and what are true feelings, and it can be tough to regain the foundation of earnestness.
And, of course, if you’re drunken and married then you have a “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” situation on your hands. Fun!
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.
Lenny and Jay never really hit it off.
I am really not of a fan of gay jokes. Or jokes against any minority, especially marginalized ones. Although I think it can be done tastefully, and in those rare cases, I think it’s always where it is clearly a CHARACTER making that judgement or speaking distastefully, and through other means or characters, the author shows that it is not what the author believes. It may sound all wishy-washy and P.C., but I think you can be super offensively funny and yet pull it off (RIcky Gervais stand-up comes immediately to mind).
Nice of Lenny to stick around despite/because-of Bruno locking herself in the closet. It was one of the first weeks where I went for a repeated scene every day of the week (Today’s ran on a Monday), which was fun to play with.
Classic gag. Someone is going out of their way to be nice and reassure, and doesn’t realize (or at least not until it’s too late) that they’ve said wayyyy too much.
Christina and Lenny were a good pairing. Definitely birds of a feather.
Susan is awesome, and its nice to see her giving Lenny a bit of attitude. Although playing with the double-meaning of the word “tip” is perhaps a gag I did one too many times.
Ah Randall, the acceptor of all around him.
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. :)
