					<description>Dan. I'm not so worried. Anders and Maria are just "people" on FB. I'm not putting up artwork or stories.</description>

					<description>Rene: You don't need to create a unique domain for Anders, I think most of us would be happy to play along and ignore the fact that the URL would be anderssilfersked.reneengstrom.com instead of just anderssilfersked.com.

Or you can just wait sooner or later some &lt;strike&gt;nut&lt;/strike&gt;, no wait, I mean fan. Will like the idea enough to give you a domain.
Won't be me though, I'm pooor... ;D

On a different point and this has bothered me since I read that you posted the characters on facebook, I know full well I might be affected by the panicheadlines Metro published here in Sweden and therefore overreacting, but you did read through their clauses about intellectual property?

Cornan: Just a point of disagreement, you don't have to be vested in the institution that was Anders and Maria to think that its wrong for Tina to be with him. Its enough to recognize that Anders is being the sort of bastard that somehow seems to come more or less naturally to a guy since we our joystickcommando trying to overrule every decent cause of action. As long as it seems like it will get to take a "dip".

Besides books are ok, its when one seems to be on his way to writing the equivalent of the British Encyclopedia you'll have to watch out. ;)</description>

					<description>Ha ha! The Anders Silfersked wiki? That would be fun. I was seriously considering registering anderssilfersked.com but I can't even afford a unique domain for the comic let alone a fun little side project.</description>

					<description>"docfrance: I know! I really am interested in doing some wiki stuff but I know wiki and webcomics don’t mix. "

I was also disapointed by my search.

Rene. We must find an actor to portray Anders silfersked as an infamous figure thus causing Wiki to spontaineously generate an article... or maybe a stand alone complex....</description>

					<description>She wants to be there for him. It's simple as that. One thing that a lot of commentators seem to be forgetting is that people never see themselves (ok, rarely see themselves) as being the "bad guy".

In Anders case he sees Maria as being self centered for not noticing how much her family was hurting him and mean spirited for actively hurting someone who hadn't done anything to her (that he knew of) and who had been nothing but nice to him. Not that this justifies his subsequent banging of Tina on the couch with the shades open, but that's the point of view he's coming from.

Maria sees Anders as being self absorbed for not caring that she hates Tina even though he has no direct reason to agree with her hatred. She sees him as being so focused on himself and this problem "he got them into" (despite the fact that her taunting of ass man is what started the whole mess) that he isn't paying attention to her feelings.

Tina sees herself as being (based on strips to date, there may be more info we don't have of course) wrongly and unjustly attacked by Maria and her brother and sees Anders as a knight in shining armor who came to help her get her house cleaned up and was kind to her despite the way his fiance was treating her. She doesn't see herself as so much "the other woman" as "the right woman". This is a sort of "Thank god he's not with that horrible woman anymore. He had no idea what he was in for with that bitch. I will be so much better for him and he's such a wonderful man, he deserves better." kind of thing.

Bjorn (again, assuming there isn't some drastic insight exposed later that we don't have yet) sees himself as getting back together with the girl he should have still been with in the past. He doesn't see himself as breaking up a relationship because her fiance cheated on her and they ended it. In he steps.

So no one is seeing themselves as being the bad guy or an inherent engine of emotional destruction. Tina wants to go with Anders to be there for him and support him against the devil woman. We (mostly) think this is a bad idea because we're invested in Anders and Maria making things right or at least setting up some sort of amicable situation for the baby. Tina is not invested in this. In her perfect world Anders would be all hers and at the very least the baby would come by once in a while or maybe Anders would keep the baby and Maria would vanish into thin air.

Of course, this is all just my opinion. I could be wrong.</description>

					<description>Actually Mandiiv, part of what makes this comic (meaning the entire comic at large) is that it is capable of doing both at the same time. Kind of like eating the most delicious and simultaneously most poisonous cookie in the universe.

It'll kill you on the inside, but goddamn if it doesn't make you smile and feel all warm and fuzzy.</description>
