I’m having tablet troubles again, I’m sure it’s my own fault but I can’t think for the life of me what I could be doing to those damn tablets to keep fuckin’ em up. Anyway, hand-drawn comics for the time being. Sorry to leave you guys hangin’ like that. I’ve got the rest of this week drawn already though so don’t worry.
🙁
I knoooow.
Of course. Argh. Poor Ben.
2nd to last panel shot of Ben and Bruce is perfect. That would be awkward even if Ben didn’t hate Bruce.
I dunno, being with someone in an open relationship seems like a good way to get hurt if you’re not really confident. Is Cleo the jealous type?
I think Cleo has a sort of pseudo-jealousy. She’s really not he type to get angry at a guy, but she does worry incessantly about boys who have other ladies in their lives, as we saw when she met Sofia. Also, I think open relationships are a good idea for when two people like each other a whole lot, but aren’t ready to be tied down. However, you do have to be careful of the feelings of others, and I think that Cleo is going to end up being a doormat here, because Bruce doesn’t seem like the type to be… careful with people.
tl;dr: Cleo get nervous jealousy, open relationships not necessarily bad, Cleo is gonna get hurt because Bruce is not going to be careful with her heart.
Also, “Don’t worry, baby, we’ve got an open relationship” is a totally stereotypical douchebag cheater line.
Sorry to hear about your tablet troubles… But I LIKE your hand-drawn comics…
Hand-drawn’s cool with me 😀
Why’s Cleo getting all uppity?
Something is going her way and somebody is appearing to try and stop it from continuing to go her way. She’s just defensive because Ben’s potentially telling her not to have what she sees as a good thing.
The dialogue confuses me here a bit. When she says “We talked about this already.” does she mean she and Bruce talked or she and Ben talked about it? Hope this criticism is seen as constructive and not destructive.
She is informing Ben that she and Bruce had already discussed this situation, and is angry at him for assuming that she wouldn’t think to ask him about his relationship status.
I agree that it should be more clear. I was trying to write this as melodrama-free as I could and possibly sheared off some details that shouldn’t been left in.
You draws ways betters thans mes anyways. I cans appreciates your drawings.
Cleo’s about to get hurt in t-minus 5.
I’d say Bruce’s about to get hurt in t-minus 5
Bruce >:|
I don’t trust him one bit. He is definitely a big guy in your face.
Especially after those last two panels
I love Bruce ahaha! I feel like a traitor.
I love you too, Ben.
Ha! I didn’t have a really fitting term in mind unqil I read this comic, but Bruce is a Dillweed. Total Dillweed.
Leaving a Dude hanging like that. That’s cold Ben.
Wait, did she know for a while, or was the open relationship something Bruce dropped after the kiss?
I hope Nikki tells Cleo off.
I was going to boo Cleo twice but I also believe that this comic has a strong sense of ironic justice so I can’t wait to see how it turns out
Seconded. Cleo’s being a big guy in Ben’s face here, while Ben is just being considerate, so any instances of her getting hurt by Bruce are pretty much par for the course, especially since she evidently knows what she’s getting into.
…plus, I already didn’t like Cleo, so I’m a bit biased.
I like Cleo because she’s consistently scatterbrained.
Having been super-awkward for ages and then having to adjust to becoming a boner factory with big guys in your face all the time just throwing tongues and penises at yonder freckles is the perfect build for some downright pungent life lessons and ironic-ass justice. Run-on sentence.
I’m also not a Cleo fan. She seems to be basically a complete idiot who gets whatever she wants because she has big tits and no self-respect. But the fact that I have such a strong reaction to her shows how well the character is written.
Man, whatever, Cleo haters. She’s a mixed up, naive kid who works her ass off to be a good person. She’s a SHETLAND PONY. How can you hate that!?
