#095 - What the fuck!
Sunday, January 20th, 2008I’ve always wanted to draw a face getting punched while spitting. Sooo hollywood!
EDIT: I’ve redrawn the 3rd panel because there was some confusion as to what was going on with the mobile phone.

Yay, my insomnia pays off cause I get to see the new A
January 20th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
First to comment?! YAY!
I SO understand Johan here. Though I feel sorry for Anders, too.
January 20th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Aw crap, my comment got all jacked up because I tried making one of those “less-than-3″ heart emoticon things.
The basic gist was “holy crap this is getting exponentially awesomer” although I think I worded it differently. I can’t sleep and I’m tired.
January 20th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Oh. Holly got in before me. ;__; Darn!
January 20th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
.. His bleeding nose and dumbfounded face has filled my sympathy bucket to the max “;_____;” Oh god poor Anders. You poor, adulterous.. silly man. I KNOW YOU DID WRONG, but like.. wahh, I can’t hate you. And I never have ;.; This feels like deja vu.
Johan’s fighting stance is ace. As well as his LIGHTNING SPEED to.. have Maria hear Anders in pain? How morbid!
.. sympathy bucket. Where did that come from.
January 20th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Oh, it’s ON!
January 20th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
i just feel really relieved that something’s happening. too much tension for my weak heart! finally a watershed! sorry about your face, anders!
January 20th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
at first I was like WOOH! been waiting for that all week! but then I kind of felt sorry for him.. even though he deserved it.. we shall have to wait and see what happens next.
Taeshi, I feel your pain! you can’t hate someone in a hat like that!
January 20th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
This is a great story-I’m not sure what else to say than that.
I love Johan.
January 20th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Have been reading your comic ever since Stef showed to me almost a year ago, it is easily one of the best things I’ve read, with it’s original story and art.
The last panel is almost a little scary, what is Lars going to do and why is he still holding the gas hose? Can’t wait for the next page!
January 20th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
There is no Lars in this strip Randi! You guys, can’t you get your Swedish names straight?
January 20th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Oh, yeesh… I hope Anders doesn’t jack up Johan (like that one fellow) so much that Maria will never forgive him.
Then again, Anders was fighting for Maria’s honor when he messed that guy up, so maybe he’ll take what he had coming like a man against Johan.
January 20th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
Ahhhhh. That was amazingly satisfying.
January 20th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
w00t for Johan!!!!!! This fills me with glee.
January 20th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Why is his nose bleeding when he got punched in the jaw?
Anyway- I hope Maria steps in and admits that they’re both fucktarded and they make up and what not. That never happens, but it should.
That’s right, I made up the word fucktarded for that. Word.
January 20th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Johan’s punch is a face cruncher!
January 20th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Ojojoj ! Kan knappt hålla mej tills imorgon. =D
January 20th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
Johan looks like Sonic the hedgehog.
I have a feeling this is where Anders proves to Maria’s family that he’s not a pussy if he goes and cripples Johan. But then again Anders has that sense of justice thing and I imagine would take his punishment in a very repentant fashion. That’s my reading of him. (Thank you for drawing clenched fists correctly! Too many artists are lovers and not fighters and make the mistake of drawing the thumb clunched inside)
January 20th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Oh yeah, is Anders still shooting up?
January 20th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
that’s such a great first panel! (even though i saw it coming)
i’ve been trying to draw punches like this one for years with no success whatsoever :/
January 21st, 2008 at 1:10 am
I think people have misinterpreted Anders previous fight: he had his butt handed to him quite literally.
He managed to get in one lucky blow by dumb chance, from what was said, but otherwise he just was beaten into submission….
January 21st, 2008 at 1:39 am
I, too, am experiencing a sudden surge of pity for Anders. The poor, unsuspecting sap. I hope he doesn’t get beaten to a pulp. Didn’t his broken bones basically just knit back together?
Also, I see you’re titling your pages now. Should make them a lot easier to find in the archives.
January 21st, 2008 at 1:43 am
Diana, he basically just fractureed his hand in the last fight. Nothing too serious. Some stitches as well.
Happypeepeehead: I don’t understand what you mean by shooting up. Doesn’t that refer to taking some sort of drugs? Anders has always been clean.
January 21st, 2008 at 3:19 am
Hm, don’t where I got Lars, when I meant Johan, sorry ;^_^
January 21st, 2008 at 3:51 am
Johan is a good big brother ^_^
January 21st, 2008 at 4:06 am
“Anders
29. The hero of our story and heroine addict. A man of paradox; struggling between his feminist ideals and his desire to protect and provide. He is an expecting father and this serves only to inflate his chivalrous side.”
I was making a play on your character description in the about page (which needs new characters added to it)

Found the link for this comic on Friday in the comments section for that days Octopus Pie. Bookmarked.
January 21st, 2008 at 5:22 am
Ok, call me dumb but I am not 100% sure what is going on with the phone. Did Maria call his bro or did he call her? Does maria know what happened to Anders? If so, is Maria being sarcastic over Anders’ injury?
January 21st, 2008 at 5:35 am
Ha ha!! I get it hpph.
January 21st, 2008 at 5:36 am
Wha? Johan taped Maria also the night of the horrible cheat, and is showing Anders why hes getting what he deserves. Assclown! (anders, not hec)
January 21st, 2008 at 7:32 am
Well, Anders certainly deserves it. He should be glad if he comes out with all his teeth intact, I doubt he can even manage to land an accidental hit on Johan…
January 21st, 2008 at 8:15 am
In the last panel, does Anders have a black eye or is he just doing the multiple lines under the eye to show emotion thing? (You did say that when Johan punches, he crunches your face.)
January 21st, 2008 at 8:16 am
Johan is the long lost son of Chuck Noris i guess. =)
January 21st, 2008 at 9:33 am
Haha, in the new panel, it looks like Anders and Tina are about be crushed by a giant Connect Four.
January 21st, 2008 at 9:35 am
That’s why Anders looks so scared…
January 21st, 2008 at 10:11 am
Oh my god the edited panel has made my stomach crawl, I can so feel that jealous “cheating” pain even if I’m not going out with Anders myself! You can tell I’m so emotionally attached to this series now, goodness gracious.
But wow, that changes everything. Like what I said in my last comment, I thought Johan quickly called Maria so she could know Anders was getting his comeuppance.. I’m actually kind of happy I was wrong XD I still think that woulda been very “grim” or something.
Also did you decide to permanently have Johan with a smooth silky face? I was looking at the archives and noticed his facial hair just randomly.. disappears. It seems it goes away permanently on the comic after they catch Anders in the act XD I’m just curious, I don’t wanna be picky!
I mean one could say he just went and shaved, but he had facial hair the comic before and I don’t think he woulda gone to shave while Maria was bawling.
January 21st, 2008 at 10:15 am
Taeshi. About his facial hair. I’m just lousy at remembering details like that. Sometimes he has facial hair. Sometimes he doesn’t. I decided to leave it out completely so it’s never an issue again. But between you and me, Johan’s a little scruffy.
January 21st, 2008 at 10:47 am
Hehehe, I understand! As I said, I didn’t wanna come off like “WHOA I FOUND A CONTRADICTION” or anything! It’s just interesting how one can continue drawing a character and certain features drop off.. usually for the better, etc.
Johan still does give off a scruffiness to him, you’re right XD And it’s ace.
January 21st, 2008 at 10:50 am
O man, go fish for contradictions. Make a list. There are loads. Especially if you look at all the earlier strips. O how my pen wants to redraw all of them.
January 21st, 2008 at 11:50 am
Thx for clearing things up Rene. The pannel is priceless. it practically spells out “You are screwed”
January 21st, 2008 at 2:14 pm
ARrrrrrgggh Suspense!!! Where’s the next comic?? I need my fix!
January 21st, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Justice punch!!!
3th pannel is way better now, it was a bit confusing without the image.
Anders is a puss… he better grows some guts soon.
January 23rd, 2008 at 5:59 am
Oh my! That panel is much better now. I thought that was Maria talking to him at the time and not wanting to speak to Anders.
February 2nd, 2008 at 10:40 am
Oh no!
Anders is going to punch someone in the neck again!!
March 26th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Wow, all the girls in the comments crying out for the adulterer’s blood! It’s a little scary out here for a guy.
Maybe I’m a chauvinist pig, but I didn’t think Anders was in the wrong. I mean, they’re relationship’s been on the rocks and then Maria goes and sabotages his job *twice*?! I mean, he said “I hate you!” and stormed off (30-12-2007) so it’s not like he was sneaking around.
April 1st, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Don’t know, Anders looks to me like “Okay, you are right. Beat me up!”
