I thought I’d remind everyone here that lately I have been posting the comic a heck of a lot earlier on Twitter. Just as a special little treat. 
I think I’ll use Twitter for other goodies as well. It feels so good to be giving back to everyone after being absent for so long!
See you Monday!

Well, Anders is officially a prat.
I thought the “I COULD BUY YOU” thing was just something he shouted in a fit of frustration, but clearly he thinks he’s hot stuff. I almost hope he gets stuck in lockup. Let Johan go be with Maria…she doesn’t need Anders’ BS.
May 22nd, 2009 at 8:12 am
I have become a super major fan of Johan. Especially since the whole Tina-pregnancy thing started.
May 22nd, 2009 at 8:25 am
Heh, that prison guard looks familiar…
May 22nd, 2009 at 9:22 am
Rene, is that you? Since when do you have to work at a prison, eh?
& I do agree, Anders is a prat.
May 22nd, 2009 at 9:26 am
Woosh i like this series! Just power read the whole thing today! Blarg
May 22nd, 2009 at 9:42 am
Anders is definitely a dick, but I still like him. Which means good writing.
May 22nd, 2009 at 9:43 am
Damn, Johan is calm and collected…….. there goes most possibility of a well-deserved shanking
May 22nd, 2009 at 9:59 am
What little sympathy I’d built up for Anders is dwindling again.
May 22nd, 2009 at 11:03 am
Aw, is that Rene-the-cop/police station worker?
May 22nd, 2009 at 11:51 am
I also missed the comments Rene! I like this color style.
I hope Anders don’t miss the birth of his child!!
May 22nd, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Anders has, for the moment, precisely what he deserves. Now just cynically waiting for the deus ex mechana to deliever him to the birthing room.
May 22nd, 2009 at 2:11 pm
I love how you’ve depicted Anders’s character–like others have said, he’s majorly flawed, but I still like him. He’s just an ignorant fop who grew up with all sorts of privilege, and a night in jail (along with a lot of the other things that’s been going on lately) should help pull him out of his own ass a little more. There are so many other characters in this comic that are like this too: they each have their own faults that can be so frustrating, but we know that they’re just trying to do what they think is right. That’s called being human, and it’s one of the things that keeps me coming back to this site.
And I love your cameo here, Rene! Can’t wait for more Twitter goodies!
May 22nd, 2009 at 2:43 pm
Awww c’mon Anders..damn. I used to dislike Johan for being such a loose cannon but now he’s starting to grow on me. Hell, he was the only one to care about Tina and he still cares for her even after the lies. This comic has my flip-flopping all over the globe!
May 22nd, 2009 at 3:58 pm
twitter is extremly fricking annoying, cant you just post it here instead of multiple places. =P
May 22nd, 2009 at 4:57 pm
@ferko I do post it here! I just have it up a little earlier for Twitter followers if I happen to have it done earlier. I like interacting with readers that way.
May 22nd, 2009 at 5:33 pm
I definitely, most absolutely believe he deserves this, now. No more doubt in my mind about that.
You’re right Lauren, let Johan, if he’s released in time, go be with his sister. Or even Bjorn. Not this douche.
Good Lord, Anders is so self important but he’s worth less than the lint in my pocket.
May 22nd, 2009 at 6:43 pm
lol, rene is your KEEPER! heeeeheehee!
May 22nd, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Ah I’m so glad you’re updating again! This is the only comic I can read and read again whenever! I don’t want the story to end
May 22nd, 2009 at 10:03 pm
hahaha anderrrrrrrrrs…. way to be a d-bag. xD
May 22nd, 2009 at 10:53 pm
ahaha nice, anders deserves that XD
you make me want to get a twitter lol
May 22nd, 2009 at 11:19 pm
And…here’s the next page! (I didn’t have to wait very long!
) Anders once again…total douche. Love his character so friggin’ much. Excellent page!
May 23rd, 2009 at 1:25 am
Anders cracks me up on this page!
May 23rd, 2009 at 1:49 am
I LOLed, for real and no jokes.
May 23rd, 2009 at 2:36 am
I dunno. To me Anders is being less of an a-hole here. It’s almost like he’s not even talking to Johan, rather trying to convince *himself* he’s not powerless.
May 23rd, 2009 at 3:58 am
‘I think I’ll use Twitter for other goodies as well.’
Can you please post any extra goodies here as well? Not everyone uses Twitter…
May 23rd, 2009 at 4:04 am
@Marluxia Kyoshu Well if it’s repostable I will probably put anything like larger drawings in my Live Journal. Which I will link to from here.
May 23rd, 2009 at 4:10 am
I must admit that, emmhi by the way, that i’ve became a big fan of A?M in the recent days.
I had a long, long day haha and all I did was get up to date with the comic (started to read it mmm like around monday, and yet I haven’t sleep that much hehe), and I can say it’s a great one!!
The gorgeus look, the always same paced story, the flashbacks!
Tsss?
My, my I don’t know what to say hahaha.
But I will keep looking forward to this story.
My best wishes. :B
PD: I believe that in this one, I could just kill Anders, truly XD
Good weekend for you
May 23rd, 2009 at 4:21 am
This story sounds just like my ex-husbands life. He got a girl preggers when she was 18, ditched her, got with me (I couldn’t have kids), screwed around on me. I left him, moved on to bigger and better things. Found out a month after I ditched him he got two other girls preggers, by mistake! Guess he had something to prove….Great read by the way – I like the art, this is one hell of a story – keep it comin man.
May 23rd, 2009 at 8:32 am
It would be too much to deal with if I followed you on Twitter though. You’re posting a lot.
May 23rd, 2009 at 9:02 am
DAMN, Anders is a prick.
I LOVE his expressions, especially in the first and 5th panel.
May 23rd, 2009 at 9:59 am
Hmmmm wow. Anders reminds me of Light Yagami from Death Note. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_Yagami full of himself, yet idealistic and never the less, popular with the girls.
I’ll never understand you girls.
Anyway, I hope Johan gets to be with his sister while she gives birth! He’s such a sweet brother :3
Oh and you ma’am win the web comic world. Just thought I’d say so :3
May 24th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
I don’t really think Anders is so much an elitist prick as that he’s trying to seem to have some power in front of Johan. Johan has kicked his ass several times…now he finally has something that he (thinks) he’s better at. And then that’s taken away too…
I think he’s about to hit bottom and show how vulnerable he really is after all that’s happened. But I’m prepared for being proved wrong ;-P
May 25th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
I seriously wanna backhand anders >_> I’m not even kidding xD He’s SO unlikeable right now >_>
May 26th, 2009 at 5:53 am
Karmic…
June 7th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
haha, I love the cliched “I’ve got power” speech which ends up being flipped around on himself..
Anyways, just dropping in to say I adore this strip – I love the changing art styles (even the lower-quality photos have their own charm!), I love the story, and probably most of all I love the characters. I love how I like them sometimes and dislike them at others – just like real people. It’s very rare you find people, not one-dimensional drawings, in webcomics, and you’ve certainly achieved a new level of characterization with Anders Loves Maria. Thanks for providing all of your readers with such great work
Yeah, Anders isn’t at his best here, that’s for sure.. but things had better work out for him for Maria and the baby’s sake!
