#118 - Hurt you

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

I did a guest strip for Sam & Fuzzy today!

Gah! Finally get it up and I notice Tina’s right arm is missing in the 2nd panel. I’ll add that later, right now I got some wine with my name on it downstairs.

    Hooray for punchlines! Things have been serious for a while, and this made me smile.

  3. Box Says:

    Rene you are now a major super star.

  4. Jamie Says:

    Wow, Tina’s kinda dense when shes thinking about doing it.

  5. Jello Says:

  6. neil Says:

    i was going to say that i kind of like the 2nd panel with no right arm, but then i noticed that the right hand was still there. a little creepy. i still think you could ignore the missing right arm, and tomorrow’s strip could be about anders getting bitten by a tarantula.

  8. Marissa Says:

    Wow. They’re dumb enough to deserve each other.

    i’ve gotten the feeling before that she tells anders things he wants to hear after her initial reaction.
    remember when she asked him if their first time together meant anything at all (what about US - didn’t last night mean ANYTHING to you?) and when anders’ reaction wasn’t all love and puppyfluff she stated that they should have a relationship based on unconditional pleasure.
    in this comic, i got the distinct impression she knew exactly what anders was talking about when she said “well…” but then she flatters him and strokes his ego with bambi eyes in the next.
    i don’t think this makes her a devil-woman or anything, i think it just makes her vulnerable and probably very lonely. i think most of us can agree that we’ve either lied about something or pretended to be a certain way to attract someone.
    the anders-maria-tina thing just makes me think that anders is the biggest asshole.

    human, so she is some kind of furry cute (but lonely) man-eater? …that might be related with Maria’s grudge….

  11. Brandon Says:

    It’s good to know that it will never stop being cool to make dick jokes.

    My unborn children are probably hanging their heads in utter humiliation already.

  12. Chris Says:

    that was the best joke ever

  13. Paige Says:

    Exactly, humanoftheyear, I feel so horribly for Tina. It’s very easy to relate to her need to be loved so desperately, but I have to wonder why she is like that!

  14. Craig Says:

    I was just thinking about wine…

  15. katie Says:

    i agree with humanoftheyear, i think tina knows exactly whats going on and just pretends to be dumb. whether or not i think she does it because she’s lonely is a different matter

  16. tender Says:

    come on, anders! stay with tina!

  17. Duke-Thane Says:

    I don’t blame Tina for at least trying! i mean…think about the choice of mates she would have in a small town? Maria said it a while ago ” you either play hockey or fuck hockey players” i’m guessing the only change is baldness and bear bellies.

  18. Olga Says:

    I didn’t notice the arm thing until you said and now I’m totally creeped out. I knew there was something off about Tina. It’s her ghost hand.

  19. Ashley Says:

    I am with katie who is with humanoftheyear. I think she does it intentionally and has no real intention of helping anders [emotionally], she just wants to bone him. I don’t know… I just know if I were Tina I would at least talk to him about the Maria thing and let him get it out and then coax him into sexes.

  20. Caroline Says:

    Goddamn Bambi eyes….

    Tina is a Femme-bot I tell you!

    LOL, that just made me think of some depressed succubus sitting alone on her couch eating chocolates on friday night because all the men in her town are taken

  22. Happypeepeehead Says:

    Sorry Tina but this comic is still registered as anderslovesmaria.com. I really look forward to seeing how the redemption works for both Anders and Maria since I enjoy stories about people making up for wrong doings. Hell, I’d even like to see the guy whose neck Anders broke become a better person afterwards.

  23. Elizabeth L. Says:

    Tina obviously knows what is going on and Anders, as much as he likes Tina, still loves Maria and probably wants to make sure he can see their baby. After all, Anders was the one who wanted a baby in the first place.

    Maria certainly isn’t helping anything by sleeping with Bjorn (or will we find out that she isn’t going to?).

    I think both of these guys are just missing the whole physical part of a relationship while still being in love with each other, but hating each other at the same time.

  24. kasha Says:

    for the life of me i just cannot feel sympathetic towards tina at all. ah, well.

  25. Rene Engström Says:

    Elizabeth: Should Anders choose to never be together with Maria, he would still be able to see his baby. It is his baby too.

  26. Rosie Says:

    so frustrating… why would you even embark on this path when you havent sorted out ANYTHING with the mother of your child?

    this has to be the only comic on the web that can make me feel so much - irritation, pity, happiness.. it’s an amazing achievement. Cant wait to see what happens next

  27. Elizabeth L. Says:

    He would, but I would assume it would be maybe more awkward if they weren’t to at least make up somewhat.

  28. Anton Sherwood Says:

    Her right sleeve matches the wall paint, that’s all.

    There’s a romance paperback cover somewhere in which the woman has three hands. (It must be real, I saw it on the intertubes. Wish I knew how to find it again.)
