    Ahhh yeah…first post up in this BEE-YOTCH!! (Again!)

    Anders is getting rugburn and Maria is getting a broken heart! I LOL’ed at Johan’s deadpan punchline. Great work as usual! Awesome comic! Great Job!

    P.S…every strip needs boobies from now on!

  2. Outspoken Says:

    Serves ‘er right.

  3. tory Says:

    ARG!! i hope Maria kicks some ass!! that jerk!! wow now he gets a baby out of her and to f**k all the blonds he wants to!!! arg, i wish i got to cheat after every stupid thing my boyfriend did.

    also your comic rocks.. i am more than a little addicted.

  4. Marissa Says:

    I don’t think Anders nor Maria are really ready to be in a committed relationship, let alone start having kids. Vandalism isn’t cool, but neither is cheating on his girlfriend who’s pregnant with the kid HE wanted to have in the first place. They need to break up, Maria needs to get an abortion, and then they both need to GROW up.

  5. Rene Engström Says:

    Maria is too far along for an abortion.

  6. Dain Says:

    I say it again poor Maria!

  7. Stef Says:

    I actually woke up this morning thinking “I wonder what’s gonna happen in Anders Loves Maria. Wait! Oh yeah! She’s updating on a daily basis! I have to new strips to read!”

    But now I almoust wish I hadn’t NOOO!! Terrible angst in my gut! Argh! Nooo! Anders don’t!!

  8. Rene Engström Says:

    Aw Stef! Förlåt! Det är jobbigt för mig också!

  9. neil Says:

    Haha, I love johan.

  10. Chuck Says:

    T_T

    Well, that’s all folks. Anderslovestina?

  11. Rene Engström Says:

    I’m thinkin’ “Anders Loves Maria and Jenny and Anna and Tina and so on and so on”

  12. Koosh Koosh! Says:

    This comic has been my absolutely my favourite read, recently. I’m so glad it’s become a daily.

    It’s difficult to know who to side with on this one (which I assume is the point)! I’m definitely with Marissa on the “growing up” thing. Both Anders and Maria are to blame and they need to talk this out. Whether this will make for compelling comic storytelling has yet to be seen, but I’m sure you’ll do a good job. :I

    Keep up the good work, Rene. Recommending this one to all my comic buddies.

  13. Olga Says:

    wow! I also love Johan’s punchline.. made me laugh after getting that gross feeling in my stomach because of the cheating. Good work! At the edge of my seat!!

  14. GG Says:

    Maria - DUMP Anders now!!!

  15. Ashley Says:

    :[

  16. Holly Says:

    Nooooooooo! I mean petty vandalism is one thing, but revenge sex is worse! WHY ANDERS?! D:

  17. Ashley Says:

    I am sooo sad from this - blagh.

  18. Patrick Says:

    I’m in agreement with Koosh & Marissa. They both need to seriously grow up.

  19. Nathan Says:

    What a dramatic turn of events.

  20. meg Says:

    In defense of Maria… Yeah, in all fairness you’re supposed to break up with someone before going on the rebound. Cheating ain’t cool.

  21. TheKarpuk Says:

    I like how this particular section of the story has been receiving self righteous responses supporting both Anders’ and Maria’s side. It’s like a Rorschach Blot for for relationship issues.

  22. Rene Engström Says:

    Karpuk: Exactly.

  23. Caramel Says:

    Well, I’m not defending Anders or anything, but he IS under the influence of alcohol and all that.

  24. streever Says:

    ouf, what a mess!

    I agree, they both are pretty far from appropriate… esp. right now! It’s hard to pick anyone’s side. Maria turned on Johan Anders when her family turned on him, and then tried to sabotage him when he tried to “earn” their respect by working… not so good :-/. I don’t think he took the job just to be with Tina.

  25. Fleen: Your Favorite Faux-Muckrakers Since 2005 » I Gotta Coordinate Things With Anne Better Says:

    […] Yeah, that’s Hollywood’s version of romance; this is Sweden — we’ve only covered two days of story, and life hasn’t begun to get complicated yet. A brush with the law sends the couple to the far north, to Maria’s family, who treat Anders poorly (’cause let’s face it, he’s a pussy). Old crushes and old enemies enter, all concerned make bad decisions, and we’re reminded that nobody can hurt us as much as somebody you know loves you — but doesn’t like you very much right now. […]

  26. Pete Says:

    Again with the way late commenting, but I just got around to reading through this and that bottom row is totally made of Win. Perfect timing and such a great look on Johan’s face. Notbored, but I can’t think of the better word right now, because I’m reading this after I should be sleeping.

  27. Antsan Says:

    I know it’s very late, but I just have to add:
    It’s just sad.
    Don’t want to take anyones side or turn against anyone. All just messed up.

  28. JoeyKeith Says:

    Johan reminds me of Murdoc from the Gorillaz…

  29. PaganGod Says:

    Simply this: Anders hand position in Panel 1 for the win!
