On rare occasion I’d do a strip like this: without Bruno in it. I generally tried not to, because she has a unique outlook on the world, and so everything is tainted by it, and I wanted to represent the feeling of that perspective. But now and again it felt important to remind people that what they’re reading is just that: a tainted perspective.
I sometimes wonder, when people find me a bit odd, what they’d think of some of my odder friends back in high school. Or maybe it was only ME who though of them as odder. Hrm.
I find it can be fun as friends to have friendly tension, but not always for others in the crossfire.
