I don’t know if this conversation would have gone off that easy in real life.

Man, this strip is uncomfortable, but at the same time I think I hit true on their dialogue — to it’s socially awkward tee.
Sometimes it is fun to have an image tell a story. In this case, as well, it tells a backstory explaining a comment, which means there is length and time, all to this one snapshot.
He’s right… except that she probably doesn’t mean it. ;-)
I used to hate days like that. But for some reason, they’ve been infrequent and happen hardly ever anymore. If I can’t find the inspiration, I generally noodle around with writing until something forms or a walk clears my head.
I also don’t have trouble sleeping.
I have craploads to be thankful for, believe me, I know it.
I used to believe strongly that force could make writing come out. And later I realized it was just one more method to getting writing going, and once it’s going, something usually comes of it.
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.
