    My first everything had problems that expressed themselves like this. Sadly, I was too inexperienced with the human condition to recognize it....and too much a coward to act on my concerns. Pity she saw my problems more clearly than she saw her own.

    I must admit I'm having difficulty accessing all the layers in this comic. What connects this comic and the last?

    This is my interpretation: Joyce is in a relationship with a man who she knows is not attracted to women. She's chosen a relationship that by it's nature is inherently unstable, a castle built on sand. She just witnessed two people saying "I love you", and it wasn't this grand fantastic fantasy of love like she thinks it should be. So it just reminded her of her own insecurity in her relationship, and the result was for her to physically cling to this guy to make her feel like she's actually getting from him what she will never be able to get.

    Yeah this particular strip is very sad.

    Explain to me the unknown?? there's a red head with freckles in the banner of the comic, in the character page, and on the front page of the book... but hasn't appeared AT ALL in the comic??? yet will be appearing on the front of the book?? what gives??

    I think the consensus is it is a mage they will find out in the wilderness who will join their group.

    I don't get it
    I think I've got it

    People from Boston are bad drivers
    People from Boston pronounce words weird
    Boston bowling alleys are weird
    Boston's geographical location is worthy of mockery
    There are not that many famous people that come from Boston
    People from Boston care about sports
    Masshole is a made up word that is funny because it sounds like asshole

    I mean, if you're trying to say Boston has it's fair share of assholes, it's a pretty useless thing to state

    Assholes can be found in every city across the world

    Huh.

    I figured she left before the argument.

    I took away that she saw them "admit" love to each other but not the conflict. Between that and Billie finding love she suddenly feels so alone that she immediately reaches out to her doomed relationship in a vain attempt to capture something that she believes her friends are finding (although in reality their relationships are fragmented and not perfect either). She's always seemed like a character in a rush to reaffirm herself and "prove" herself yet she thinks she's being left behind.

    It's pretty damn sad either way though.

    What sort of strange armor are they wearing for arrows to pierce through the metal but not the handaxe hurled at the head?

    Maybe it was a bad angle. I mean, arrows are better at piercing armor than thrown axe-blades, one would think. I don't know if it's true but it seems sensible enough.

    Seems like they have a different line artist for this new issue of Skull Kickers.

    Lar Desouza. Hm... sounds familiar. I'm sure he's some kind of genius. This new project is probably the least he can do for a quality web comic.

    I wouldn't say people from Boston are bad drivers, Boston just has a really confusing road system. This may have something to do with Boston being fairly old. (For an American city.)

    Massachusetts had to organize a statewide campaign this year to remind people in Boston that turn signals are a thing.

    It's a Tavern Tales issue. Side stories with different artists is the MO for those.

    This is kind of a test drive, we'll see how it'll work out.

    Aw rats, I thought since the story was by Jim Zub we were back to regular updates.
