This night was actually the night before we had THE TALK. This kind of summation of our issues might prompt a “nice guy”-style judgment of women always dating a-holes, but it’s very one-dimensional.  I was hurting and upset, and that’s what the comic is about - more the crazy thoughts we have when in pain than the relationship itself.  This guy was smart, engaging, cared for me a lot, was affectionate, frequently told me how pretty I was, never let me pay for anything, gave me piggy-back rides… all that romance novel stuff, along with things mentioned above.  In other words, he was a real, multi-dimensional, flawed human being who just wasn’t right for me.

This comic is like a diary entry for me (despite me actually blogging about this elsewhere and having an actual diary and talking to all my friends about it - I spend a lot of time processing okay)  I still upload all these to the Picnic on the Moon archive, by the way.

So what’s next?  I’m putting together thumbnails for a pitch about a comic on bisexuality for an anthology on the topic, and soon will work on thumbnails for that Batman on Robin comic that will be in a February show at Mission Comics and Art. Plus I got one page of Acrobats almost ready for upload tomorrow! Busy busy!

So I was going on a date and three separate instances of this bs happened en route to the restaurant when I was by myself. Then I came up with this comic and started working out MAH GLUTES.

A few extra pages for Picnic on the Moon. :>
Actually, pretty much the moment I got these done, it was like therapy and I felt much better. I’m an eternal optimist! Even if a single one. ;3
