I think some people are being a little bit hard on Johan. He was 15 or 16 here. He didn’t know how to express his emotions in a “better” way. Yes, it was crappy of him to just be unsupportive of her, but I can’t help but feel bad for him in that last panel…

Beautiful artwork, as usual. A fantastic way to start my monday.

I don’t particularly care much for Tina, honestly, so this particular strip has no effect on me. Aside from the overwhelming impulsive twitch to hug the heck out of Johan, that is. *Twitch*

@Ashley:

Unfortunately, I think this in the past. Probably partly because of this she grows up to be someone who would bend over backwards to ensure that there would be someone there to love her.

Good luck Tina<3 I’m glad she’s finally looking out for herself a bit more and no bending over backwards to please someone else at her expense.
Johan, learn to talk to ladies better.

I feel really bad for Johan in that last panel. He looks so helpless. If you ignore for a second what he says and just look at his body language it becomes so obvious that he’s confused and worried about Tina but has no idea how to express that or what to say to her.

To have an abortion at that young is hard. I know. I was 15 when I had mine. I was angry with my body, myself, and not to mention the boy. Her feelings are perfectly natural.

“Had some problems with daddy, eh Cambiata?”

That’s a kind of weird response. My vitriol is aimed squarely at Johan… but then I’ve never understood why anyone thinks Johan is so great. He deliberately sabotaged Anders’ relationship with Maria, and then acts like Anders is completely to blame for that (not that Anders isn’t an asshole, too).

Heh, it kind of reminds me of a Futurama quote that I was just reminded of recently: “I’m telling you, they’re not evil! But don’t be confused, they are jerks.”

Okay guys, let’s be nice to each other. Let’s not have comments taken away again.

Rene, your stories of life, romance, and growing up are amazing. And not to mention, I love your artwork. Great use of watercolors, major props.
