John, I don't know of anyone else who so accurately portrays the pain and confusion of lost love. The art in this comic is so immediate and expressive; I feel like it's practically shoving me foreward. Amazing.
Your current girlfriend must be really awesome and understanding to be so cool with you working through these memories in your comics.
John, i saw you comics all my Sunday and for each comic i read i thought how you Dana relationship sounds like a limerence i have with a girl - a friend - and all time i was married i treated her like a friend, but due some emotional depression i had in the day i was with her in my house, and i told her i had a erotic dream with her, she dont talk with me and we fight some times after this. I think - observing her reaction the problem is this was just a excuse and what touched her is the fact i said i love my (actual ex) wife. Time passed a lot and i found i have some conection with her, but its not love, but maybe just a desire. Anyways, this situation remains until today i was engaged and my actual "pratically-wife" dont deal with this history like Janice did. I know its a suffering hard to understand and until today i have crisis about this (This limerence manifesting in a desire form), but i dont love her, i love my wife. And i feel i cant count on my wife and nobody close to me.
I wish be lucky like you.
Thanks a lot - really. I feel a lot emotioned reading you comics!
Sorry Comics are a collection of autobiographical stories from my life. I started this process in 2006 during a tumultuous break-up and I can't seem to shake the habit. Hopefully, you'll find them to be humorous, self-effacing, awkward, funny, uncomfortable and humiliating (for both you and me).
the perspective of Janice on the couch, so far away from you, was sublime.
