so how close are you two in your relationship? i heard someone say once that you know you’re in a close relationship when you can fart in front of each other. i wouldn’t neccesarily agree with that statement, but i’m sure i smell some truth in it. with all the noise and distractions in a relationship, something as quiet and simple as gas could signify a closeness and comfortableness that’s hard to air out.
i hope the artwork is able to tell the story i had in my head, which is finn having internal thoughts getting louder and louder. and who are you kidding, you’ve all been there!
whenever i encounter an elderly person who’s married and there’s time for a conversation, i always like to ask the simple question, “what’s the key to a successful marraige?” and surprisingly, the response back has come back somewhat consistently to not keep score. no matter who caused the disagreement, or how many times you’ve bent backwards to accomodate, it just doesn’t matter. the underlying theme is that if you love the person, you’d do anything. so what’s the big deal with washing the dishes more often or paying more often for dinner. i guess in the end, for a successful relationship, all that matters is that you love that person and would do anything for him/her. except give up the remote.
ok, call it lazy or call it creative, i like these one panel shots sometimes. it gives me a lot more space for something more dramatic and it’s usually so much quicker to make. now if only i could be funnier!
i just couldn’t help myself. i had another strip lined up for today but i rushed and made one specifically for today – in honor of the new star trek movie! growing up, i actually identified quite a bit with that show. the obvious first is the fascination with space exploration. the second that kept me coming back is the interesting human element. even hundreds of years in the future, we’re still wrestling with morals and ethics, what’s right and wrong. and taking a cue from the starship captain, i think i learned a lot about how to treat people fairly, no matter where they come from. especially hot alien girls.
very simple, but i was pretty happy with the “floating in air” computer panel that that blond hair guy is using.
this week’s strip really cinches it for me! too many times i see great girls falling for the guy that mistreats them. there may be several very nice, great guys that simply knows how to treat a woman right, but it’ll be that one guy, that “bad boy” type that ends up getting the girl. so why is that? why doesn’t the girl recognize it’s the nice guy that’ll secure a more steady future? my guess – it’s the challenge. with a nice guy, he’s too willing and easy to do anything. i think the girl inheriting is looking for someone her equal, and thus challenges her to earn her respect.
now, i’ve been hearing some feedback that my characters are too similar in physical appearance. for instance, telling apart elle and ivy. so, maybe in the next couple months i’ll start trying to differentiate them more. feedback is always welcome, thanks!
