Author commentary

Veronica: I was never a fan of that sorta stereotype — if a guy is liked by many, he’s considered a pimp. I thought it was if the guy went around CONTROLLING the girls or something! That’s why Mike gets so furious.

So yeah.. all in all a lighthearted comic.. quite a shift coming up next.

The scarf might add that gay flare to his pimp attire. All he needs now is a pimp hat and cane, and drive an old Lincoln Town Car, and he’ll have it.
