Location: Countryside Christian Church
Let’s ignore panel two’s Worst Drawing Of Mary Ever and contemplate the possible subtext involved in the protagonist of this story getting up and leaving my church because it no longer fits her anymore.
Back then, I was a little afraid to put this comic up, thinking I’d get worried phone calls, but I either overestimated the attention my family dedicates to my dumb ol’ webcomics, buried the subtext too deep, or both.
That Mib fella sure catches up quick, like he has somekind of special powers…wait a minute.
“He” did get there suspiciously fast. Quick, Sal, does the air smell of Skittles for some reason?
i don’t think your family assumed that you were projecting yourself onto this biracial girl with a southern accent. in all honesty, until you point these things out, i’m always blissfully unaware of how they reflect on your development at the time. it is cool to get that insight now, though
Your not supposed to take it literally asshole.
I used to worry about some of the things I wrote being found by my family, but then I realised they don’t care. They think it’s just a dumb hobby and so ignore it.
Yeah, this is it. I have to twist my in-laws’ arms to get them to sit down and watch our webseries. Because it’s not something they’re excited by (actors are all depraved, immoral people who are going to hell, so anything theatrical that isn’t overtly religious isn’t exciting), they ignore it.
My father-in-law once ran into someone who knew my wife back in high school, and they asked if she was still singing (in addition to drama club, my wife was in choir). When he told us that he responded that she wasn’t, I was LIVID. I tore him a new one, reminding him that almost every video in our webseries has a music video in it, and she was singing in all of those. I even got a box of my wife’s business cards and ordered him to carry two or three of them with him at all times so when anyone asks what my wife is performing in these days, he can do the PROPER proud parent thing and hand out her business card.
I’m fortunate that my father-in-law is easily cowed.
I wrote and self-published TWO books that have gone completely ignored by my family (other than by existing, because “We’re so proud you made books!”).
That’s okay, I just did them because I could. Pretty sure actual fame would kill me with embarrassment (not to mention how TEH INTERNET treats even mild celebrities isn’t much encouragement, either).
I admit to liking Sal’s 4th wall-breaking expression in the last panel. “Really, Willis? Really?”
Yeah it actually is kind of literal.
And based on what we know of past events, pretty damn clear.
Sal’s expression almost looks like she’s thinking, “Me and my biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig mouth…”
hahahah! i am cracking up. i mean… gun to her head… oh this is terrible and funny.
“well, shoot”
“Well played, suh!”
The guy with the gun is Frank Miller, right?
He’s probably one of the people who abducted Frank Miller and tried to get him to write a comic without prostitutes in it.
