It’s been awhile since we’ve seen Allison, so here she is. I should be back with something a little better. And I will hopefully fit some Curious in on the weekend.
I only wish that love were that cheap, that you only had to give up an eye to keep it. Instead, I find it costs my time and patience, and she requires my faith, trust and respect.
And the dreams I had for myself have had to be swapped for dreams that we both share.
And that’s just the start. The biggest cost is I’ve had to give up everyone else as a potential partner.
Not that I’m complaining, mind you. The rewards outweigh the costs by far. 🙂
The casual vernacular combined with such a classical character in the last panel is killer. Well played, sir – well played.
@ David:
Lamenting that you’d rather sacrifice a valuable organ versus coping with the turbulence of love is a little disturbing, both on an instinctual and conventional level. The trials of intimacy are all about the XP. Sufficient closing statement here.
Also: fuck yes, Curious Urgency!
Take care, people.
This is as good as the crippled hand comic. It’s one where I can totally say “I get this” or “get out of my head b” or something along those lines. Cursed are those who love too easily.
The black eye-gouging reality-check character reminds me of Dream from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman because of the cloak and mask shape. Coincidence or tribute?
Hey b, my new lady friend cancelled plans with me, so I’m kind of in a deep mood. You should put up something this weekend to cheer me up or something. I been waiting to see Sheriff Chuck bring his hapless associate into that strip club for ages.
Look at it this way, it’s always better that she act on the decision than just wait around. Nothing’s worse than being in a dead relationship right out the gate.
And at two weeks it’s pretty safe to avoid looking deep into the meaning of a breakup. Odds are you failed too many litmus tests like wanting the wrong number of kids or not having the right life aspirations (say travel vs career) or mispronouncing ambulance (I’m looking at you Baltimore). These things can make people incompatible without discrediting either person. You just have to keep looking until you find someone who likes you as much as you like them. It really isn’t good enough for one of you to do all the liking.
Anyway best of luck, Jonny! As a young white guy who speaks English and collects a paycheck in our modern age you’ve got to remember you’ve got a lot going for you!
That is f’ing hilarious
Brilliant as always. I am never disappointed when I see ESaD updated in my greeder .
Love the comic!

I love your comics so hard

Once again we’re blessed with an understated masterpiece! Love it
@KDR: I think you missed my point. Never mind.

Man, the dice of reality sure loves birdmen and plague doctors as of late. Must be something in the air.

I’ll see what I can do, Jonny. Keep your chin up.
Well that was fast. She broke up with me today, less than 2 weeks after our first date. I just don’t know.
