Haunted 1-2
Panel 4 Yuan has been staring at me all week. Halfway through, he was joined by a screenshot of Serj Tankian eating takeout. It’s great.
I tried publishing this once, but it didn’t show up on WordPress Reader. Let’s see if this one works.
OH, THANK HEAVENS IT WORKED.
Aww so relatable. :c
That’s almost exactly what I was going to say!
I’m strangely proud that everyone so far is like “oh, mood” rather than “whoa, what did that guy do?!” But CT readers probably already know what he did.
As someone who is extremely phone reticent (hello, autism) this felt a little too close. But of course, there’s more going on here than just not having the spoons to answer the phone. Also, somehow I forgot I was reading a comic and thought this was really happening… Or happening in the game. Reading a comic based on SimLit sort of amplifies my willing suspension of disbelief… Plus, hat-tip to your skill and talent!
Dang, that’s high praise. It double-happened!
Welp, I’ve invited myself here to indulge in my latest obsession. This was friggen hilarious. I die. (actually, I don’t but if I did you would obviously include me in the count because I was once living and WE’RE NOT ANIMALS).
This entire strip reminded me of when I was in college and my mother called me at like 6am because she had a dream I was pregnant and she was so upset at dream me but IRL me was the one getting yelled at even though I was not at all pregnant.
Oh man, your comic skills are DOPE.
Wow. I’m really fighting the urge right now to have Xiyuan’s mom leave him a similar voicemail. He’s been confused about that in the past, so maybe his parents are too?
Ahh! I’m still learning the ropes with comics but am lucky to be in such a supportive community.
HAHHAHAHA oh man, the joke comes full circle.
it’s been really exciting to watch you branch out and try something! like, selishly, I love reading this, but its also encouraging. just make cool shit you love, that’s what matters
(why is caps not working on ipad? why?!?!?!)
Good!! I’m hoping to encourage people.
(And yesterday, I mumbled “I love you” under my breath and realized I was talking to eyerolling Xiyuan, so that last sentence before the parenthetical statement was too on-the-nose…)
Panel 4 Xiyuan’s face is great.
Gnnn… Poor Xiyuan. But it’s just the phone, amd it can be swtiched off and deleted, unlike whenever he actually leaves the room.
Also, has Xiyuan always been handsome? I never noticed, but damn. Either I never noticed, or your drawing really brings out his features. Either way, win for him.
AHAHAHA! So.
I don’t have the energy to draw Yuan responding to this, so I’ll just type it out.
Xiyuan: I know.
Because flat-out telling is the most effective way to make a point (lol), he is, in fact, supposed to be one of two main characters acknowledged in-universe as absolutely stupid hot. The other is Shu. Not that the others aren’t attractive, we’re just more likely to comment on Aileen’s wisdom, Chantel’s quick thinking, Charlie’s butt, etc., than their looks.
I can’t find a closer faceclaim for either of them, but current Shu would resemble a 22-year-old Simu Liu.
