#140 - One Last Time
Friday, April 11th, 2008I forgot to mention this when I first put the comic up. While doing a daily scan of comics I noticed 2 in particular that I think are having a go at me. They’re denying it of course, but I’m sceptical. The first one has way too many real Swedish words and the second one, well you be the judge!

fine, i can go to bed now.
April 11th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
Oh god. He’s screwed. Most probably she has a hidden camera and then she’s gonna sell it and cause more trouble to Anders and Maria. Oh, if he does it… the little bit of respect I’m holding for him will just fly out the window for good this time >_
April 11th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
OH MY GOD AAAHHHH!!
*drama chipmunk here*
Hopefully she’s not the stabbity type of town crazy.
April 12th, 2008 at 12:00 am
Well, he CAN’T be that stupid. Really.
Really.
April 12th, 2008 at 12:15 am
i remember telling myself that around january, chuck. prove me wrong again, anders… i loves the drama!
April 12th, 2008 at 12:23 am
Guh– he slept with her? Anders, really now.
April 12th, 2008 at 12:30 am
He shouldn’t do it, but last chance sex is always so good. It’s even better than make-up sex!
April 12th, 2008 at 12:45 am
Has’nt anyone said ‘Bork’ yet?
April 12th, 2008 at 1:23 am
Before I felt bad for Tina, but now I kind of really dislike her.
April 12th, 2008 at 1:31 am
*BZZT BZZZT BZZZZZZT* BAD IDEA
April 12th, 2008 at 1:32 am
He will. Then she will talk him into taking her home with him. Because hes a jackass.
April 12th, 2008 at 1:38 am
Hey, maybe she will stick a piece of wood between his ankles and go to town with a mallet.
(5 points for who ever can get the refrence)
April 12th, 2008 at 1:41 am
Bad bad bad idea. He should bail–stay ANYWHERE but there tonight, even getting hate glares from Johan would be better than staying there.
April 12th, 2008 at 1:49 am
Hec: Misery! (the film version)
April 12th, 2008 at 2:00 am
It’s a trap!
I am hoping that Johan will bust in and save the day before Anders does anything life-ruining.
April 12th, 2008 at 2:12 am
no no noooo!! don’t get sucked in anders!!
he didn’t sleep with her already did he?? it doesn’t look like it but i want to be sure…
April 12th, 2008 at 2:20 am
I wouldn’t bork a girl that just horked.
April 12th, 2008 at 2:54 am
Hellll no he shouldn’t, but in my experience the prospect is tempting in those kind of one-sided relationships when they draw to an end. I’ve seen it from both angles.
April 12th, 2008 at 3:08 am
oh yeah i kinda blanked on the horking. horking after borking… not so good.
April 12th, 2008 at 3:16 am
Heh, I just did this with my ex… one last time inevitably leads to the next time… it’s always awkward when he tells you “oh, i’ve got a new girlfriend” afterwards.
April 12th, 2008 at 3:33 am
JMB: Nice.
hey, I bet Tina smacks Anders in the head with a knäckebröd!
(No Googling allowed, try to guess what it is.)

Ewww the hobbler.
April 12th, 2008 at 4:43 am
knowing anders he’ll probably do it
April 12th, 2008 at 6:05 am
I really feel bad for Tina…she must have had a really crappy life, even though on the outside everything looked perfect…
April 12th, 2008 at 6:22 am
Interesting how looking at the scene through the headboard makes it look like Anders is caged. Intentional, I presume?
Re: Other comics having a go at you. Hilarious! I didn’t even notice the reference in SGR until you pointed it out (I’d probably just assumed it was another of John Allison’s Brit pop culture references I don’t get), but it’s definitely there.
April 12th, 2008 at 7:06 am
This reminds me of the night I broke up with my first girlfriend. Once we’d talked it out and everything was clear: BAM! She was all over me like slime on Peter Venkman. I calmly explained that I wasn’t going to change my mind, but she just wanted some of me before it became unavailable. I totally understand what Tina is doing.
April 12th, 2008 at 7:07 am
Sad. I’ve been in Tina’s place, where she think she loves him but doesn’t understand its just desperation and a fear of being alone. It isn’t love, its dependency. I grew out of that finally, but it seems like Tina has been stuck in it her whole life.
April 12th, 2008 at 8:42 am
*bork bork bork*
April 12th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Welll, she is crazy, so it probably is her version of love…
I totally was wondering about the SGR today and definitely had ALM in mind while reading it!!!
April 12th, 2008 at 10:03 am
Oh come on now, Anders. Really?
And that whole wah wah wah I love you schtick? So totally going to come back to bjork him in the end, so-to-speak.
April 12th, 2008 at 10:20 am
So, waitaminute here. Something’s just occurred to me. Are you telling me that the Swedish chef was singing about fucking all this time? The Muppets should’ve been R-rated from the get-go? I’m… so disillusioned…
April 12th, 2008 at 11:20 am
I would guess that it is the last night before he leaves. Don´t think he has slept with her, otherwise she shouldn´t be asking for it?
April 12th, 2008 at 11:25 am
probably he took of his t-shirt, since it was “horked” on
April 12th, 2008 at 11:40 am
I give 5$ that Anders t-shirt will say “I borked and was horked”
Split sex is better than make-up sex. I bet that Tina want to give Anders blindfold and then invite hunchback to bork Anders.
April 12th, 2008 at 11:43 am
I can’t say anything for the first comic, but I can vouch for Scary Go Round. Lots of social references, language things, and I think someone pointed out on the Helvete Bjorn (I can’t use pronunciation stuffs) strip, it’s fashionable to have a go at other countries. …it was just a matter of time before that country was yours.
April 12th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Poor Tina…She is getting a *little* irritating now though, so I can kinda understand where Anders is coming from on this one.
And I’m sure SGR wasn’t having a go. It’s our british humour. Consider it an homage!
April 12th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
i agree with those that say if anders goes through with it my final shreds of respect for him are out the window…and he’ll deserve whatever he gets (i.e. secret films released on television or whatever - which maria chances to see just as anders tries to get her back!) but possibly more interesting is tina possibly already being pregnant. i think she horked bc she’s preggers and despite what the country might think of him when it all comes out on tv with two pregnant women and no way to support them, other women will still want anders. ugh.
i also missed the joke on anderslovesmaria when i first saw the sgr strip! that is hilarious - milford should move in with tina next - he’d be down for sloppy seconds in a heartbeat!
April 12th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
I just hope she didn’t poke holes in any condoms (if they even use them). But we know Ander’s track record with pregnant women.
April 12th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Everybody loves the long tetris block. It’s funny because it’s true.
April 12th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
anders is still totally wearing a shirt, but TINA looks like she took that sweater off before crying on him. having been the crying one before i am BEGGING anders not to do it, whether her intentions are to get it one last time or blackmail, if he cared about her at all he wouldn’t do it, its just a bad idea all around.
April 12th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Yea, Anders is still wearing his shirt, but it seems that Tina is naked.
Well, I suppose Anders can still bork with his shirt on…can’t tell if he’s wearing pants or not!
April 12th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
The current Beaver and Steve guest strip contains some horking (hörking, even) as well. Coincidence?
April 12th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Ahahahahaha.
I love that more people hate/are annoyed with Tina now.
I know crazies when I sees ‘em.
April 12th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
all rise for the national anthem.
there’s a rooooooad high abooooove and the eagle fliiiiies with the dooove and if you can’t be with one you looooove honey,
love the one you’re with! love the one you’re with! doo doo doo doo do do doo doo!
April 12th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
Lukas: I think not!
April 13th, 2008 at 12:57 am
I don’t think John Allison is having a go at you (Sweden, maybe). In SGR (and the comic before it, Bobbins) he has presented a rather interesting viewpoint of a number of countries including Wales and Iceland. My favorite bit was about how christmas is celebrated in Iceland ( http://bobbins.keenspot.com/d/20001117.html )
April 13th, 2008 at 4:02 am
Really?
REALLY?
Cmon Anders. Pull Up Your Tube Socks. And Dont Tap That.
No.
Seriously.
DONT.
April 13th, 2008 at 6:07 am
This hits so close to home. Wow.
April 13th, 2008 at 6:44 am
I love that the characters in this comic are just as selfish, weak and insecure as people usually are in relationships in real life.
April 13th, 2008 at 11:04 am
Stumbled on ALM from Sam&Fuzzy.
Started reading from the beginning…
I’m hooked now.
Monday is so far away!
April 13th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
He’s already screwed (forgive the pun please), or at least a chump. How the hell did she get him into the bed already from the kitchen?! Or was he trying to be a “nice guy” and take Tina to her room because she’d vomited?… Uh, either way, she seems to have Anders pinned down on bottom. Anders, Anders, Anders.
Possibly Tina will castrate him!
Hec: I don’t know what “knäckebröd” is, but since I’ve heard a lot of German from my sister, I’m going to guess some kind of unleavened cracker or bread? Like tortillas… or matzo!! (HAPPY PASSOVER YAAAY)
April 13th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
@DmitriNeilovich:
Yes.
That’s right- the Muppets are JUST as inappropriate/totally awesome as Avenue Q.
April 14th, 2008 at 12:04 am
o__o I donno about the first one
the tetris blocks do not particularly strike a cord with me
I read sgr though, and that is so funny! hmm~ I hadn’t thought of A
April 14th, 2008 at 12:14 am
The bed frame makes him look trapped behind bars. Heh. Poor Anders… but you put yourself there! ^_^
April 14th, 2008 at 1:42 am
I dunno about the Eegra one but I think SGR was definitely smirking in your direction with that Swedish national anthem thing.
Also, Anders…MAN.
April 14th, 2008 at 3:32 am

“first, though, the giant robotic bjork head will sing our national anthem….”
April 14th, 2008 at 7:25 am
50 points to any more posts that can use the word “hork”, or an alliterative equal.
April 14th, 2008 at 8:43 am
John Allison’s skillz have come a long way. I didn’t even know he’d had an online comic before SGR.
April 14th, 2008 at 10:10 am
I love your comics. Keep up the amazing work.

tina is aiming for anders babies.
July 29th, 2008 at 6:41 am
When will he learn that you don’t stick your dick into crazy chicks?
