Maria looks so adorable!

She is so cute in the second last panel.
May 30th, 2009 at 5:45 am
Ohhh, goodness. My sister and her boyfriend did something along those lines too….

do they give you nitrous oxide for labor (in Sweden)? i didn’t get nitrous (in usa)… if its not nitrous what is it in the comic? straight oxygen won’t get you loopy like that….??
May 30th, 2009 at 6:12 am
Hm. I know straight oxygen can kind of give you a rush if that’s all you inhale. We’re used to breathing it in mixed with all other sorts of stuff, so if it’s PURE oxygen it can expand your blood vessels and give you sort of a weird temporary high…
Also, I’m so glad Anders kind of sees things in perspective here!! He’s not always a prick!
May 30th, 2009 at 6:25 am
Actually, straight oxygen will get you high. Normal air is over 90% nitrogen.
May 30th, 2009 at 6:36 am
I love that they are playing Cat’s Cradle!
And that Anders totally screwed it up.
Maria is just adorable.
May 30th, 2009 at 6:46 am
Johan’s being nice!
May 30th, 2009 at 6:52 am
Yep, nitrous oxide mixed with oxygen is the first choice for labour here (been there, done that). Maria also has those little electrical muscle-stimulating pads on her baby-belly. TENS-pads?
I also like how Anders’ yarn in cat’s cradle simply inravels – a picture of his life at present.

It’s fine without colour~ Your artwork is always so beautiful! Maria’s so cute in the last two panels ^-^

Donald Duck as Darth Vader, FTW.
May 30th, 2009 at 9:16 am
ohmygod xD they’re like…HIGH or something xDD Sillies :33
May 30th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Love it without the colour…. keep it that way
May 30th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
I’ve spent too much time reading Jeph’s comics, I thought they were drunk because of the little circles near their heads! I don’t mind the lack of colour, it’s just as good ^_^
May 30th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
This comic makes me sad, but I don’t know why…
Bjorn’s blank pupils make him look really high! (Rhyme unintended)
May 30th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
… and THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why I love Björn. xD
May 30th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
I want to hug every one of them in this one <3
May 30th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
thank you for answering my question!
May 31st, 2009 at 2:05 am
a 50% mix is what is in the oxygen masks on planes. PURE oxygen would cause serious damage to your lungs. like chemically burning them.
May 31st, 2009 at 5:20 am
I think the metaphor of Anders coming up with an empty/broken “cradle” is quite powerful.
I know Maria is not going to end up with Bjorn, but I really want her to. =\ They’re so much better together than Maria and Anders.
May 31st, 2009 at 11:31 am
It looks great without color! It’s because the background isn’t total white, which is nice. I like the mixed look of your drawings, they are fabulous
Keep it up, I’m such a huge fan!
May 31st, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Ah, gas and air, that mainstay of labour relief. And I thought the things on Maria’s belly were those contraction-monitoring things, not TENS stickies (which usually go on your back, don’t they?)
Great comic, Rene!
May 31st, 2009 at 6:21 pm
if there was a johan plushie, i would buy one and take it with me everywhere.
June 1st, 2009 at 4:25 am
You draw the loveliest hands.
June 1st, 2009 at 6:17 am
I love those last two panels. It’s good that Bjorn is there to lighten up the mood.
June 1st, 2009 at 7:24 am
I have fallen for Johan. You know, webcomic love. I’ve always liked him, but now…He’s awesomely awesome, especially when he’s kind. Very good comic, by the way.
June 1st, 2009 at 6:29 pm
Something about the way the “ha ha ha’s” and the little circles of happy nitrous are drawn make me actually hear them giggling all high pitched and mildly delirious.
This is my favourite for this piece of the story. What great work! (and colours schmoulous – it looks fabulous! I love that the style of the comic has evolved and changed with experimentation or lack of time or whatever event causes a change. The differences are as much a part of the comic as your overall drawing style.)
June 1st, 2009 at 7:14 pm
Ohh…it’s hard to decide whether I feel sad for Anders right now or not. Hope you get it colored soon!
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:21 pm
Awww… wasn’t this ripped directly from Rene’s real life?! (Well, the last bit.) Or am I the only one who remembers that?
Nitrous is awesome.
June 3rd, 2009 at 2:21 am
I hope you are still going to color this. I would really like to see it in color.
