#159 - Father

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Hi everyone from Lore Sjöberg’s Blog! Man, I’ve been reading Lore’s stuff since I was a wee gel in my very early tweens. To be added to his list of favourites is an honour! I am officially beaming! I also think his description of Anders Loves Maria couldn’t be more spot-on.

  2. meredith Says:

    haha! oh god.

  3. Rosalie Says:

    Oopsie!

  4. Voortman Says:

    Hahaha, that’s awesome. I know alot of people called that one ahead of time, but it still made my jaw drop. Thanks for slapping a silly grin on my face, Rene. I needed it :)

  5. DM Says:

    Yay for tactful nurses!

  6. Taeshi Says:

    Oh my god, my first initial reaction was “WHAT, Maria has aborted in the past?”

    I see now, though “:-[” Poor Bjorn and his robbing the cradle tendencies.

  7. Christine Says:

    omg, I love Johan’s face in the second-to-last panel. Its almost murder, so funny!!

  8. Angel Says:

    So…I guess she is pregnant! Way to call it guys!

  9. kaiki Says:

    Wow! Amazing comic. I am glad all the medical professionals in Sweeden are awkward in some way =D

  10. katie Says:

    bwahaha! i was right ^_^

  11. Some Dude Says:

    noooooooooooooooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

    !!!

  12. Rick Says:

    Take no offense at what I’m saying, but…

    $20 says it’s a miscarriage.

  13. Rick Says:

    …that Anders doesn’t know about.

  14. irrational_moon Says:

    It’s a stretch, but she may be asking which one is maria’s father? No…that’s almost too much of a stretch…

  15. Matt Says:

    Just got through the archives. Great strip. Now I have to wait for it to update :-( .

  16. Sarah Says:

    Could explain Bjorn’s comment from way back when “…we’re getting a second chance.”

    Whooooooo.

  17. Marissa Says:

    Yeah, I thought he meant which one was her father? *shrug*

  18. Marissa Says:

    Oh! Or maybe this is what Bjorn meant when he said they were getting a second chance?

  19. Ashley Kromarek Says:

    I hope my boyfriend is never mistaken for my Father. Our age gap is = to Maria and Bjorns..

  20. Chuck Says:

    oh shi…

  21. megslegseggs Says:

    OH SNAP

  22. Taeshi Says:

    What!! So was my initial reaction right or something? Can’t be! I’m sure it’s just the guy mistaking Bjorn for Maria’s father because of him being so old and her being such a delicious loli.

  23. L Says:

    due to the look of rage from johan to bjorn and the whoops face of the doc. im’ gonna go w/ preggers

  24. Kate Says:

    Aaw, I wonder what happened to Maria’s baby… D: I don’t think it’ll have a happy ending. That’s the thing about reading a comic that’s so lifelike… Hurr if it dies I’ll need a solid diet of eegra, vintage x-men, and pbf archives for a week to recover. But Maria turns out (mostly) okay, so that’s good…

  25. lilzilla Says:

    As one of those people who came here from Lore’s blog, I say to you: hi! Way to make me spend hours reading your whole archive when I meant to be working!

    Also way to make me appreciate how non-dysfunctional my relationship is. And appreciate how not-pregnant I am. You _are_ kind of making me wish I lived in Sweden, though.

    Cheers!

  26. Kai Says:

    I like how the comments spiral into hysteria… I’m quite certain that Taeshi was correct, but… you know, whatever floats your boat.

    Also, I like how the colors are getting more vibrant as it goes on. I really hope it continues, to show that it’s moving into present events slowly.

  27. Alexander Says:

    you know … Marias attitude in the beginning is very easy with the baby .. like she’s cool with it …

    I believe once someone has a miscarriage, they are pretty worried for the second time!

    I think irrational_moon is right with her “stretch” that the doc meant to ask for the Father of maria …

    anyway can’t wait to see the outcome … thanks again Rene … Wonderful Comic …

    No way. The nurse *definitely* meant: which one is the father of Maria’s *baby*. Come one, the age difference isn’t *that* much, and certainly not between Maria and Johan so there wouldn’t be any confusion there.

    If there wasn’t a baby, there would be no reason to assume either of the guys who brought her in was “the father”. You wouldn’t just assume the patient’s father brought her in; you would probably assume they were both friends of hers.

  29. Amy Says:

    Plus, the nurse would have just said “her” father rather than “the” father if nurse was asking about Maria, rather than Maria’s baby.

  30. Dain Says:

    I still think the nurse mean who is the father of Maria.

  31. Keaton Says:

    …whoa. :0 Ahahaha, the look on their faces in the last panel though! “– 8[?!” “– >8C”

    I’m thinking possible miscarriage too, I remember way back in the beginning there being something about that mentioned and Maria being a little worried (like way back when she saw the doctor for the first time). I’m going to try not to wreck my sleep schedule waiting for the next page, but this will be the first thing I’ll check upon waking up tomorrow. XD Good stories are better than coffee!

  32. Rene Engström Says:

    Yeah Keaton, don’t wait up. I suspect I won’t be finished for another 5 hours or so. :)

  33. berga Says:

    I love how the first five panels really capture the mood, the sort of, deep and meaningful talk.

  34. The T.C. Says:

    The doctor reminds me of Jeff from MOTHER 2

  35. Cherie Says:

    Aw yeah I totes called it.
