#112 - Leda till något
Monday, February 11th, 2008On Wednesday I will be interviewed by the webcomic’s podcast The Webcomic Beacon. It will be a Valentine’s Day Special and I guess they think I got a thing or two to say about relationships. If you have a question to ask me you can submit them here. It’s my first interview so be nice.

AWKWARD
February 11th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
i knew he was a jerk. what’s for breakfast?
February 11th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
“Yeah…”
Oh poor Maria! He’s gonna break her heart!
noooooooo…….
February 11th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Well he should have seen THAT coming, when you’re young sex=love (or at least for a lot of girls I knew) but hindsight is 20-20, and people make errors of judgement as a part of growing up. I’ve made this mistake when I was WAY older then Maria is there, so I get it big style:)
February 11th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
i was so confused for like, 30 seconds
!!!!
but it had nothing to do with the comic
just lack of caffeine
this was a really well done sequence, rene, great job (as always)
February 11th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
“…about that…”
February 11th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Hahaha, Bjorn is going to pull a fast one. I knew it.
Oh and I’ll think of a nice comics related question to ask you (something along the lines of “HOW DO YOU MANAGE TO DO A DAILY STRIP HOW”).
February 11th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Great story as always…
Well, we know that Johan doesn’t actually kill him during this flashback - because he’s alive back in the present day!
Is today the first appearance of pubes in ALM?
February 11th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
m: No
February 11th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
“Yeah, the thing is… I don’t really love you, so much as I love banging teenagers. You understand!”
And Bjorn slides comfortably back into creepy asshole territory! Way to go!
February 11th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Oh no! I was afraid of this. Poor Maria.
(Hope you and your BF are doing well, Rene!)
February 11th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
Aw. She’s so cute with her rebellion and high hopes and misguided ideas about relationships.
February 11th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
AWKWARD TURTLE!!!
February 11th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
God I hate that awkward turtle thing.
February 11th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
I had to google that one (the turtle thing). Where does that originate I wonder?
February 11th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
bwahahha saw this one coming a mile away. Maria. listen to your older brother, he may actually know a thing or two
February 11th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Oh, crap…
February 11th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
hehe I love Maria’s yawn mouth.
February 11th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
bahahahahaha!
I was about to say “Revenge is Maria’s!” but then I realised she’ll get screwed this time around, too.
*internet frowny face*
February 11th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
“Yeah. It was… magical… or something…”
If Johan proceeds to bone Tina, I will be so pissed at Maria for allowing him to sleep in her bed while knocked up.
February 11th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
P.S. I meant Bjorn not Johan. I was just being retarded.
February 11th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
And now we see the downside of sex with young/immature girls! Unless Maria’s just messing with him.
Also, I love Bjorn’s ONE pube.
February 11th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
@ Koosh Koosh!: Since we never saw the whole act, maybe Bjorn already pulled a fast one last night!
Hey-o!
February 11th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
Aw, poor Maria. You should have listened to your brother. But I suppose part of growing up is learning for yourself.
February 11th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Now I want to see how this turns into being totally okay with seeing Bjorn several years down the road. Because if she can forgive and forget whatever Bjorn’s about to do to her, Maria had damn well give the same treatment to Anders!
Why?! Because he’s a title character that’s why!
And also I like him better!
February 11th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Uh-oh! I have been down this road (”we made out! that means you’re my boyfriend!”) and it never ended well…
Will Tina reappear in this flashback sequence at any time? Aside from her Christmas Eve dinner I mean?
February 11th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
I love the way Maria’s sleepy hair is drawn. It’s just lovely.
February 11th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Merry Christmas! What a gift she gave!
February 11th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
I’m waiting for Johan to bust in. I’m sure he’s about to beat someone’s face in.
February 12th, 2008 at 12:25 am
I think the awkward turtle hand motion came about when someone wanted to point out something awkward without saying, “hey this is really awkward!” Saying that out loud would only make things more awkward…
February 12th, 2008 at 12:58 am
damn bjorn to hell…but more importantly how is your boyfriend?
February 12th, 2008 at 1:11 am
agreed, that is pretty important. Is he doing alright?
February 12th, 2008 at 1:26 am
Oh bjorn, you loveable scumbag.
February 12th, 2008 at 2:49 am
Paige: Here, here! About the young/immature sex thing. :p
I have come in contact with the “akward turtle” myself. I was much old than Maria when it reared its misshapen head with the “make-out=boyfriend” scenario. But in my case, after the awkwardness passed, he did become my boyfriend and eventually, *gasp* my husband!
I didn’t mention it before but if Maria had just turned 15 in December of ‘95, I had just turned 14 that same month. Not that it matters. ;P
February 12th, 2008 at 2:50 am
I hope your BF is doing okay! ^_^
February 12th, 2008 at 4:50 am
Hi everyone asking about Sven. He is feeling much better but he will be in the hospital for some time yet.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:04 am
good to hear!
February 12th, 2008 at 6:49 am
Aww, I hate that he’s in the hospital but it’s great that he’s feeling better. Hope he gets released soon!
February 12th, 2008 at 7:04 am
The awkward turtle “hand signal” is actually American sign language for “sea turtle.”
The more you know . . .
Also, so glad to hear that Sven is mostly okay! I know how that feels, too!
February 12th, 2008 at 7:09 am
BUrts: I hate with a passion that sign language is different around the world. One of my best friends as a child was deaf, so I accumulated a fair bit of sign language which is useless in Sweden.
February 12th, 2008 at 7:39 am
Sven’s a badass name. I envy you crazy Swedes. Well, I’m actually part Swedish, but that’s beside the point. Glad to hear he’s doing better.
Sorry I’m late to the party, but I did this last night.

really that’s sea turtle? because i know the sign for turtle and it’s not the same but i guess there is another sign for “sea turtle.” crazy signs…
February 12th, 2008 at 9:36 am
Meachan that is adorable! I love how the panda is chewing on Anders’ head! Poor Anders!
