I imagine it can be hard to be okay with the logic of God when it’s the ones YOU love who are being turned into pillars of salt. Being agnostic, I don’t think about it much anymore.

I think part of the inspiration for this strip was my own religious separation. I’ve been agnostic since about 6th grade (through my own thought processes) although at that point I did not have the word for it. But I still had this fear of Hell. It was reading William Blake’s “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell” which lead me to realize that Hell is a Christian concept, and so isn’t necessarily something to fear at all.
Ah, funny funny life.
Anyhow, I have a bit of a hard time letting others take care of me, which is also an inspiration for this strip.
I always loved “What’s Up Doc?” That, and people who say to-the-point comments which I feel get to the quick of things.
Reverting to childhood is pretty much AWESOME.
He’s driving my brother’s old Ford station wagon.
Bruno makes an odd wingman.
Nothing more embarrassing than spilling something messy (or clogging a toilet, or breaking a window, etc) at a party. I’d share personal experiences, but I’ve burned those memories off of my brain with a soldiering iron so I wouldn’t have to remember them.
I sometimes get so in my head that i forget other people are around. In real life it can be a little odd, in “Bruno” it can be comical. And maybe a little odd.
So, this series was actually another, more subtle, crossover with Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet. The “guy with sunglasses” was Spencer Green. And the “old musicians” referred to a few days ago I believe was the Rolling Stones. Why I chose Ginger Spice for a cameo, I really don’t know.
Ah, there’s the subtle crossover with Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet. That’s Spencer Green in the background, left. Hm. I think the spilled perfume was mentioned in the Helen strips as well, although i can’t find them in his archive.
