Author Commentary

Tess looks particularly pretty in the end of this comic.. and yeah, this comic not only serves as a better version of the flashback comics, but it introduces Mike’s new scarf!

I read it more as, “God, sucks”, like “My god, this quickly-drawn David that I put here to take up space sure sucks.” Nothing religious.

...AND it’s addressed in the commentary, which obviously neither of us read.

Yeah I know right.

MAN DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH BLOOD AND GUTS AND BONE I SACRIFICE TO MAKE MY COMMENTARY

GOD

(yeah, I’ve been wanting Souppy to edit that out because of constant confusion for a long time, but fao is correct. It’s meant to be a short version of “GOD THIS SUCKS”)

I actually like the mix of slightly-over-the-top teenage angst and David-esque innocent/ignorant idiocy. Reading back over that, I realise I sound more and more like Abbey each day I’m not actually sad, justdid that to include Abbey. Yay Abbey! and Mike

Did you edit the “God sucks” out of the panel or something? ‘Cause I can’t see it.
Maybe I’m just blind.

I don’t see why being an atheist is all that bad. Religious and non-Religious alike can both be horribly annoying and stupid. No offense intended, I just think it should be pointed out, you have a little bit of a stereotype going there.

The blue scarf is an obvious reference to his Lucy attachment. Striped one means that he’s not sure how he feels about her. There’s not much to reveal… they’ll be back together by the end of 2011.

Back together by the end of the year? Not at the rate things are going now. Extrapolating from the current pace, I figure it’ll be the day after tomorrow at the latest in December. Best case scenario, Lucy wins him back tomorrow, but being the kind of guy who goes into attacks of guilt over pining after two girls at once, he’s going to at least need a night to break up with Sandy before he’s willing to commit, which probably puts them officially getting together some time around next February.

Unless she sneaks out and sexes him tonight; then he’ll have to wake Sandy up to dump her so he can pretend he didn’t cheat, and that way the whole thing could be resolved as early as August or so.

Nothing wrong with being an Atheist. As long as your beliefs don’t interfere with anyone else’s freedoms or safety, there is no problem in believing what you want too.

I personally am an Atheist, but I encourage everyone to look long and hard into there own thoughts and feelings and choose based on what feels right for them.

oh, look… the walking essence of scum called in his group of ****** to beat the innocent pure-hearted mike into a bloody pulp for having friends, again.

how many times was this, now? four… five?

i’m being far too forgiving here… i will continue reading this slaughterfest of the innocent, hoping i never see this happen again, but if it does, i give up on this comic.

I’ve been reading through the archives, and while I want to like this comic, I just can’t.

First, having Paulo call in women to beat up Mikey isn’t funny, it’s stale. How many times are you gonna pull that joke? The only somewhat funny thing is that angry feminists do act like that.

Second, editing out the phrase “God Sucks” shows a severe lack of artistic backbone. Are you actually telling me that because a few people didn’t get a joke in your comic, you edited it out? Seriously?

GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS GOD SUCKS

Sorry, but I don’t think I can read this comic any further.

Yes, Mike, you were nine. And you’re telling me you were madly in love, forever kinda love, undying, in love, at nine. Yeah, you and Sandy haven’t changed AT ALL since then. ‘Course not.

Remember, if a girl stalks you, insults you, and regularly beats you, you’re the jerk if you don’t give her all the attention she wants.
