#148 - Trouble
Thursday, April 24th, 2008Sunday Update: I will be packing up and leaving SPX at 14.30. So if you are in Stockholm and plan on seeing me at SPX, well you’d better come soon. 
We’re at Kulturhuset in Sergels Torg.
There will be no comic for Friday. I am in Stockholm. I am going to try and fix a little bonus material though while I am there! I will make it up to all of you, I promise!
Weather is gorgeous. I’m going to go script out in the sun.
Also make sure you head to Stockholm this weekend for SPX! I will be there along with a load of great Scandinavian cartoonists.

Hi Rene! Did Bjorn say that in the last panel? Why is anders mad?
April 24th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Do you guys have viking ships sitting in the harbour for real? If so, I’m totally coming to visit!
April 24th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
I should start selling advertising for tourism in Sweden.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Dain: Yes Björn said that in the last panel. Anders is mad because Björn hints at Jenny being trouble.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
It’s that girl again. Either because she’s important, or because everybody thought so in yesterday’s comments.
April 24th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Am I the only one who thought the first line was the artist? “Oh, shit, I’m drawing a crowd. Eh, nine’s a good crowd.”
April 24th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
ack! stop hugging the blonde, anders!! go see maria!!!
April 24th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
That thin girl with glasses is lovely… she was in the firt pannel yesterday…
April 24th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
Are those glasses? I thought she had REALLY big eyes.
April 24th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
That gal is following them.. hmm.. o.o
April 24th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
It’s Jenny, the one who has the hots for him. The one who wants to make him her third husband. The one who knows about his (not so secret) lust for Nina Persson. The one who walked in on him in the bathroom when he was all ready to go for the pic he was going to send to Maria. Trouble? yes.

For what it’s worth, I really like the watercolor and ink version that you’re doing. It’s so pretty.
Of course, I also prefer animation as a pencil test rather than the finished product, so that’s my bias.
Thanks so much for sharing your work.
April 24th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
SPX WOOO! Will say hi if we cross paths, Rene. I forget - did you get a table or are you free-range?
April 24th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
My god, she is *hugging* him! Call the police, she is going to fuck him soon!
Hey, this is a friendly hug! And only because of a short try to get in his pants it’s not like she’s a total slut. Even if she’s blond kinda famous.
I don’t think, she’s trouble. Sh showed humor in the past, that’s a sign of intelligence.
April 24th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Wow, turns out Bjorn is an OK guy. Hooray for three-dimensional characters!
And pretty watercolors!
April 24th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
I am beginning to love Bjorn. Which isn’t shocking because he is Johans friend, and Johan pretty much kicks ass.
April 24th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
Olentzero: I will have a table, I just don’t know where they are placing me yet. I’ll update here once I know a little more.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Meck :\
One after another. Even more drama going to be caused.
April 24th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Oh man, I dunno why, but Bjorn’s line in the last panel makes me laugh
April 24th, 2008 at 11:39 pm
I have a theory for the girl in black (with the yellowish skirt):
It’s Tina and she’s gone and skinned Johan and is wearing his hair as a wig! And now she’s in Stockholm stalking Anders! Oh noooo!!
April 24th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
“Von” names are sexy.
April 25th, 2008 at 12:33 am
oh so what? Is he gonna do Jenny now?
April 25th, 2008 at 3:33 am
Wait, isn’t this comic in Stockholm now? You should draw a cameo of yourself into the comic, Rene!! That would make me quite happy.
April 25th, 2008 at 3:42 am
He he maybe!
April 25th, 2008 at 7:11 am
OH NO
A GIRL WHO ISN’T MARIA
SHE MUST BE A SLUT
[ / sarcasm ]
(God, loving the watercolors!! ~ )
April 25th, 2008 at 7:38 am
Ack, Rene, what are you saying maybe to?
Maybe is problematic! I would prefer a pat on the head and the assurance that everything is going to be okay.
Or a jug of gin, but I don’t have a jug of gin….
April 25th, 2008 at 11:22 am
The skinny dark girl with the glasses is very Jhonen Vasquez-esque. Coincidence?
April 25th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Rene, I also love Kate Beaton! Her stuff makes me laugh so very hard, especially the history lessons and autobiographical comics.
Still loving your watercolors. Your art just keeps getting better.
When is Anders set to make his court appearance? It seems really lucky that he gets to stroll around free when he’s technically wanted for paralyzing a guy. :^)
April 26th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
I couldn’t come to SPX today because I had to fly back to Turkey in the morning! I went yesterday and NOTHING was going on. But Serieteket is cool! Hope you had a good day today, Rene.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:13 am
More female characters hanging off Anders like he was some kind of sex god or somethingAnders was right this is trouble brewing…
April 27th, 2008 at 10:59 am
That girl in the background is Maria in disguise, listening to their conversation, I’ll bet.
April 27th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
the girl in the background is Anders and Maria’s daughter from the future! hokey smokes!
April 27th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
Hey Rene, I’ve been pulling out my hair searching your archives looking for a particular comic. You couldn’t find your water colours so you painted in “coffee”. At least I believe you said that. Where has this page vanished too??
April 27th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
Cheap Shot: That painting was never in the archives. You can find that in my livejournal here.
April 27th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Ah-hah! That’s where I saw it. Many thanks Rene. I was intrigued by the concept as I can not afford various pretty paints. I think I can afford coffee and a brush though.
April 29th, 2008 at 12:22 am
Cheap Shot, even if you tore out all your hair, you’d still be damn fine
April 29th, 2008 at 12:26 am
Duke-Thane, there is no finer then you.
April 29th, 2008 at 12:28 am
well, there’s only two words for someone like you: DA-AMN!!!!
April 29th, 2008 at 12:35 am
Oh yesh? Well there’s only Five words that describe you perfectly:
Glllluuuh, Gluuuuhal, woaah, Gluuuugh, Gluuuusohot…
April 29th, 2008 at 1:32 am
Cheap Shot: i personally think we should make out at some point, might just be me though…
April 29th, 2008 at 1:36 am
No no, it’s not just you. I too share that sentiment. It will happen, by Zeus! Make outs will be ours.
May 27th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Didn’t that ship burn up last year?
May 27th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Yes.
