Best Leave That Issue Alone

Holy Crap, new post.

And the Assist

I think this is the end of John's bad luck in love for the moment. Also, I'm trying a slightly smaller image to try and alleviate any side scrolling; hopefully this hasn't compromised readability.

Strike Two

I was this close to having the book be "Flatland - A Romance Beyond This Dimension".

On a technical matter, does anyone find they need to scroll left and right to see the whole comic? I noticed it's a little wider then most other webcomics, and I was wondering whether I'd gone too big for general internet viewing.

Strike One

I have a hard time deciding on whether things on for guys or girls sometimes. And, although it's pretty well received if a girl wears guy clothes, when I make the mistake society is much less forgiving. I have to check my pants whenever I need to remember which side the buttons are supposed to be on.

Not Dead Yet

I've been on vacation. I meant to spend part of this time working on the comic. This is all I accomplished.
This is Sophie.

Check back later for an actual comic with the first appearance of Sophie, and a more regular update schedule.

Drive by Awkward

The phrase "Hey, how's it going?" and permutation there of have got to go from walking vernacular. When two people are passing each other on the street there's just not enough time for the long winded highly impersonal exchange of greetings...

-Hey, How's it going?

-Just fine, and you?

-I'm alright.

By the time I get to 'Just fine' the other person is behind me. If I just leave it there I feel like I've been self-centered by not asking after his/her welfare in return. If I try to squeeze in the 'and you?' it's too late, there's not enough time, even if they heard me I'm always out of earshot for the response. Am I the only person that see this exchange as socially non-optimal?

If we both just said, 'Good afternoon', that would get as much pleasantry out of the way without leaving me stranded in the wake of self-conscious stupor.

Be warned: The next person I pass who pulls this on me is getting strongly rebuffed. Let me give you a little visual.

Bob walks past David

Bob: "Hey man, how's it going?"

David: *Calling over his shoulder* "Fuck you Bob. Fuck you."


Or, I guess we could all walk slower.

I Kid You Not, Look It Up

I think today's comics turned out looking pretty nice, I just wish it wasn't such a nitch joke. Let me try and explain briefly.

There's a whole group of knitting books, Yarn Harlet/Dominknitrix/Stitch and Bitch, that tap into the rebelious nature of knitters. I've never made such a grandiose error as Dart, but I bet there's someone out there who was a little disappointed that Mrs. Pearl-McPhee didn't come though on the Harlet part of her handle. However she's way more famous then I am, so obviously she knows what she's doing.

I wonder if rule 34 of the internet applies to my comic?

Check back next time for the continued adventures of John's love life.
