#169 - Trouble Finds Him
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008I am posting the first panel because I’m still working on the last ones. They are pretty rich in detail so they are taking some time. A sick, little 2 year old set me back a bit but don’t worry it will be up in it’s entirety in a few hours! 
Donations keep rolling in and I am so amazed and very touched by this response! Thanks to everyone who keeps donating! You guys are so awesome! The Sketch-A-Thon is running until the 4th of July.
Ooops. Crying 2 year old. Gotta take care of business!

Are they waiting for him to pull down his pants? And is that a dust cloud…?
June 26th, 2008 at 12:16 am
I do believe it’s a tree
M.f-ing paparazzi D: They annoy ME and I’m just a boring ol’ person
June 26th, 2008 at 12:20 am
Oh, a tree! Or a bush! I’m sorry.
June 26th, 2008 at 12:27 am
Thankfully I get my check the 3rd of july. Looking forward to the art.

No. it is probabaly to represent a cloud bubble that itself represents A DISTANCE. so basically, the camera man is on the phone with the other guy. i think… farely sure
June 26th, 2008 at 12:45 am
oh nvm. its the tree from last strip.. so sorry xD

rotten cocksucking media. >=(

2 year old my arse! you got comics to draw!
June 26th, 2008 at 2:57 am
Ack! I thought it was some woman’s massive hair!
June 26th, 2008 at 3:30 am
could just be gas…
June 26th, 2008 at 4:30 am
I think it’s just him crouching behind a bush/tree. Makes sense for a snooping reporter, yes? Love the comics, Rene!
June 26th, 2008 at 4:45 am
The detail is PHENOMENAL. The street, the statue, I’m in love!
June 26th, 2008 at 4:56 am
For Anders there’s only three things that’s for sure: taxes, death and trouble
Loving the new extra detailed comics. Rock!
June 26th, 2008 at 4:56 am
Whhoooooaaaaa at that last panel…and the foreshadowing is scary.
June 26th, 2008 at 5:23 am
oh wow i love the detail in these two recent pages.
June 26th, 2008 at 5:28 am
loving the perspective on that last panel, sooooo PRETTY
June 26th, 2008 at 5:40 am
It seems like your kids get sick a lot.
Get them giant plastic bubbles.
June 26th, 2008 at 9:42 am
That last panel… wow! breathtaking. I do hope the next page is as lovely as this one, altough the plot is not going the lovely way eh?
Hope your kid gets well soon… LEMONS! lots of vitamin c or something, that’s what my mom gave me when i was getting sick as a little girl.

I sure love the detail in those pages. Gives that Stockholmy feeling and memories - not that I don’t like Cologne, but I want to go to Sweden and/or Stockholm this year and I have, like, 8 days of vacation. Oh, and as an intern virtually no money to spare.
Gonna stop whining now. Love your comic! And all the best to your 2-year-old.
June 26th, 2008 at 10:38 am
DUN DUN DUN - impending doom! I’m thrilled!
June 26th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
if only they could read this comic, the stories they would have. but that is paradoxical.
once again wow @ comic
June 26th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Great comic Rene, i love the details!
June 26th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
I need to comment one last time because the detail on the new last panel is exquisite. And really Anders doesn’t need to do anything; Us Weekly always has pictures of celebrities drinking Starbucks and walking to their car. A heated exchange with a pregnant woman will get those guys some money guaranteed.
June 26th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
holy crap. if the computer drawn strips continue to look like this, you should only go back to water colors for flashbacks, dream sequences and the like. i love watching this page.
June 26th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
this is truly amazing! i can’t even believe it. send it to the printer today!!! can i pre-order the book? (;
p.s. it’s so jessica abel looking.
June 26th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Journalists are soooooo creepy! Love that last panel though.
June 26th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Hmm. I have a feeling Tina is up to no good. Don’t really blame her after how Anders treated her, though.
June 26th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
Gosh, these are so beautiful, Rene! Can’t wait to see what happens next.
June 26th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
wow, some beautiful panels here. that statue is remarkable.
and as jason says, if these papparazzi were worth their salt, they could at least get a shot or two in US weekly’s “celbrities: they’re just like us!” page…. “they eat dinner, and leave a tip!!!”
wait, do people tip in sweden?
June 26th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Omg, that last panel is amazing!! I love the detail, its just so beautiful. And the foreshadowing/suspense… aah, its killing me! You are an amazing story-teller.
June 26th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
I wonder if Tina will become involved in this hoopla? What with the comment about the Norrland girl.
June 26th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
You know what I hate? When I discover a really cool web comic, spend the entire day reading it off and on while pretending to work, and then catch up with the current strip.
Nothing will beat reading the entire story until now in one big lump, instead of stretching it out over months and years. Oh well, I guess I’m in the same boat as the rest of you, anxiously waiting.
June 26th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Hmm judging from Tina’s affection for Anders and her response to him telling her that she couldn’t come with him (*hork*) etc., it would be hard to imagin her feelings and everything was a hoax. To me it seemed pretty ‘real’ and gave me a rl deja-vu.
June 27th, 2008 at 12:23 am
Woah, this page is pretty stunning, visually. And yeah - TAKE THAT, SWEDISH CELEBRITIES! Swedish Chef, I’m looking at you!
June 27th, 2008 at 3:26 am
It’s funny. Other people notice the details on the street and statue. The first thing I notice is how well you’ve done the plants… ^^;
lol horticulture. it changes lives…
Hurray for plants ^^

neil: She isn’t even that sick. She had a slight fever and a runny nose one day, but they still don’t want her at preschool. :/ I can’t get any proper work done with these guys at home. At any rate I’ve had a lot of fun playing with them!
Next week will be better comic-wise. They will be with their father.
June 27th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
I love your strip… yours and Minus…yall are just awesome (you can tell I am a Texan)
June 27th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
@ Seth - I don’t think her affection for Anders was fake. In fact, my guess would be that she called them and told them she had videos of him having sex with her but then didn’t/couldn’t deliver (possibly because she felt bad but more likely because Johan wouldn’t give up the cell phone video).
July 30th, 2008 at 4:07 am
Wow
The quality of the art in the recent comics has been jawdropping
-applauds-
As for the plot..
Seems as though things are about to get very interesting…
