I owe you one more comic this week. Should be up tomorrow. 
Sorry about the delays. Someone in the family died. I’m almost done with 2 strips though. I’ll try finish them today.
Sex and the Suburbs PDF Donate any amount to read a 6 page mini taking place when Anders and Maria went to Uni together and first started dating. (NSFW) You will be automatically redirected after donating. If not email me and I will hook you up. |

Oh my god! How exciting!!
July 18th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
nice comic, Rene. It’s cool seeing how the flashback is making everything come together.
July 18th, 2009 at 11:30 pm
Heh, you don’t owe us nothin’. We’re not your bosses.
Sooo… That’s how they met…?
July 18th, 2009 at 11:45 pm
Yay! Can’t wait to see how they meet and stuff.
Also, I know it’s a comic drawing, but I’m a little disturbed by the last panel where Maria’s eyebrows are sitting right on top of her eyeballs! I feel like that would itch.
July 18th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
My initial reaction:
“Oh man who’s this guy with the douchey feathered haircut”
…
“JESUS HE WAS A DOUCHE BEFORE THEY EVEN MET, FFS”
July 18th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
I would be more concerned about my hair being between my head and my eyeballs Amy.
July 18th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
@obo XD haha!
July 19th, 2009 at 6:57 am
ugh I hope Anders isn’t going to see himself as some kind of rescuer to Maria.
July 19th, 2009 at 8:03 am
Rene, you really need some sort of option where you can see all the comics in chronological order. I get very confused! I just had to reread ALL of them in order to understand a bit better.
July 19th, 2009 at 8:21 am
I really hope after all this is finished you come out with a graphic novel of sorts for me to purchase.
Or maybe some shirts even???
Fingers crossed!
July 19th, 2009 at 9:59 am
Exposition you gotta love it
July 19th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
why the hell is every dude in this comic going for chicks half his age
July 19th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Haha, I can’t believe how incredibly arty Anders looks
July 19th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
<3 Anders. He’s my favorite character. Douchey art guys hee, <3
I’ve been missing him the last few pages. D:
Yay! Anders is baaaaaack.
July 19th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
i KNEW anders was going to get involved somehow!
I feel more justified now from a few pages back when i was getting a hard time for it =/
July 19th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
Woohooo, anders!
July 19th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
isn’t anders only like, three or four years older than maria?
July 20th, 2009 at 12:04 am
@Sophie
i think that is true. Maria just looks a whole lot younger than she really is in this flashback as well.
July 20th, 2009 at 12:51 am
Hmm, did you know you gave Lena a turtleneck in one panel and not in the other?
And hah, Anders really does look douchey.
July 20th, 2009 at 4:22 am
So this only leaves the question, “what made her fall in love with him anyway?” because, if I over heard someone call me a git I’d want to have nothing to do with them. And at most, through reconciliation, be only but friends. But this is Anders we’re talking about. The man who seems to be able to get any woman he wants without even trying.
July 20th, 2009 at 4:37 am
@Christi: I’m pretty sure Anders was calling her boyfriend a git, not her.
July 20th, 2009 at 5:02 am
@Christi – I also don’t think she overheard. I think she’s just out in the hallway looking despondent because she knows her interview didn’t go all that great.
July 20th, 2009 at 5:16 am
You don’t owe us a thing. We owe you.
July 20th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
@Naoko
Let’s just pretend Lena rolled it down in frustration between panels! There is an explanation for everything
July 20th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
I am pretty sure that you have a typo/grammar error in the first panel. It’s not the term’s boyfriend, it is the applicant’s boyfriend.
July 20th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Rene, I absolutely love the way you right your comic. The way it`s all over the place with flashbacks, and how everything ties together so beautifully. You`re wonderful (:
July 21st, 2009 at 12:17 am
Oh and I already feel bad for Björn
July 21st, 2009 at 2:27 am
Dear Rene,
OH PLEASE OH PLEASE MAKE YOUR COMPLETED A GRAPHIC NOVEL!!!!!!!!!! <3
Sincerely,
A Different Amy
July 21st, 2009 at 3:58 am
wooow…i JUST realized its lena..am i the only slow one here?!
July 21st, 2009 at 4:18 am
I think A Different Amy’s idea is very good!
July 21st, 2009 at 10:49 pm
I would so hardcore buy a print version of this comic once it’s completed!
July 22nd, 2009 at 12:56 am
I’d like to put in my vote for the graphic novel/print version idea. I’d absolutely purchase one! I’m so sad it’s coming to a close, but I love watching it all come together. Thanks so much Rene.
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:59 am
This comic is really good. I like how you have flashbacks…Keep up the good work.
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:55 am
Also i just would like to say, i have a feeling the baby will be a girl..my daughters father acts alot like anders unfortunately at times, lol..and in my experience alot of the guys who do really well with women, tend to have little girls to set them straight…like a kind of karma, if you will..hehe.
=)
July 22nd, 2009 at 11:23 am
@poprox No need to put in a vote cause she’s planned to publish this in print when it’s done from the beginning
July 22nd, 2009 at 11:31 am
pleeeease publish something soon. it’s been a week
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:17 pm
I hope that your family is okay.
You should take all the time you need.
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:01 pm
@illona: I’m pretty sure ‘applicants for this term’ is the whole verb in that sense, so putting the apostrophe after term is correct.
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:39 pm
I do hope your family is okay!
PLEASE take your time. Updates are worth it when they come, and you always deliver. Don’t add any extra stress to your life.
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:48 pm
sorry about your family. best wishes for you and yours. <3 thanks for making our lives a little better.
July 22nd, 2009 at 9:37 pm
I agree with Mary, take all the time you need.
It’s always a pleasant surprise to see updates here, but for a free to air comic, I have no lofty expectations.
July 22nd, 2009 at 9:48 pm
I’m so sorry for your loss Ms. Engstrom.
