Well, readers…there is sort of a long lost comic out there. I finished comic 36 at the Daily Texan office rather than my home computer, and there it remains. Hence the lack of tWC on Wednesday. I should email it to myself or something. My bad…
As for today’s comic, you might notice the color looks a little different. That is because it is in CMYK, since tomorrow’s comics page is printing in color. It my comic runs, it will be my first ever color comic ACTUALLY IN the Daily Texan. I hope it doesn’t look awful.
Now then, I hope this comic makes sense. I was just thinking about how all the cutesy little things couples do have the potential to end in disaster. Have you ever fallen asleep with your significant other in your arms only to find when you wake an hour later that your arm is not only completely numb to the point of feeling nonexistent, but it is also pinned under him or her? And the only options are to wake that person up or just bear it. This is kind of like that.
Sneezing is what usually happens when something tickles your nose. It’s just a fact. But don’t let me discourage you from loving somebody!

This comic came about after a rather amusing conversation with Jonathan’s brother Nathan, who can be seen in the background of the first two panels. We discussed what we might do if we had two hours before the world ended and we were certain we were going to die. And it’s a good question. How would you handle it?
Nathan decided he wanted to go out breakdancing, while I opted for something I might have always wanted to try but never did for whatever reason. There are man such things in my life, pop rocks and coke among them. Not all of them are bright ideas though, as it should be noted that I had originally planned a different ending in which the characters race a pair of rolling chairs down a flight of stairs, but I liked this better.
See you on Tuesday, folks!
Is it too late to make a Valentine’s Day joke? Today’s comic is six panels since I didn’t really do one for Monday. As a result of trying to complete six panels in half the time it takes to do a normal comic though, it feels a little rushed.
Obviously this strip did not happen exactly like this since Samantha is in New York and not Austin, and in actuality I think Solomon probably understands the power of drawing something as gift for somebody more than anyone. But it does raise a great question: when none of the V-Day cards suffice, is it acceptable to make one yourself or is this a “cop-out” of sorts? Personally I prefer drawing something nice as opposed to throwing away $2-$4 on something totally lame. Sometimes it is just possible to do better than the card companies. But what do you all think?
This comic strip is sort of a commentary on human interaction. It was inspired by my Youth and Social Media class, and is one of those cases where the characters are not necessarily themselves. They are doing and saying things they wouldn’t normally do because they represent all people rather than just themselves.
While my roommates have been known to sit around staring at laptops for long durations of time, I am admittedly just as guilty. Also, they’re not that likely to turn down food.
The truest part of today’s comic is the last panel. While I AM an awful dancer, I’ve never embarrassed Samantha in public like that. I’m much too shy for that sort of thing. The second panel usually goes the other way around. The character I’m playing rock band with there is my brother Zach (And our weenie dog Max) who you all haven’t quite met yet. Normally we have to take the mic away from him.
This comic isn’t meant to be so much funny as something you can relate to. I dunno about you, but I enjoy singing/dancing by myself every once in a while. =)
See you Friday.
