   I totally agree with beth, nice use of the “camera”. I am excited to see what’s next:)

   I’m not quite sure why my comment is still awaiting moderation on “K.O.” But…

   I slightly disagree on the angles. Only in that the last two panels are so sharply angled that I feel like I’m about to fall over.

   @Reuben Thanks for tipping me off on the comments. Apparently there were many that got blocked for some reason. i’ve now approved them all! :/

    YAAAY! I love as the art goes through deliberate changes as the story develops. I love the crisp art and different angles of the last few pages.

    Rene, you totally didn’t need to make up these comics to us, but you are awesome (and probably superhuman) for doing so. And they look great!

    “Ah, Anders! My favorite student! I need your help!

    Please insert your huge penis into this girl repeatedly, until she’s double super pregnant, and then do your usual jackassery of cheating and lying and generally being a big turd, so I can have a swell story to tell my friend Rene.”

    I second Obo’s sentiment. Its all downhill from here for Maria. It seems fitting that Anders starts things off from stealing her from a loving boyfriend.

    because of the dissection of Bjorn in the comments section of the other strip i just re read allot of the comics featuring Bjorn, he really is a sweet heart. he was always honest with Maria. he seems a bit silly or immature and a tad irresponsible but not as bad as some of the other people in the strip… like Anders, for instance.
    i have apprehension about the the end of Marias flashback pregnancy, i worry too about the imminent birth in her non flash back pregnancy (what with her belly being small and the low lying placenta/bleeding issue) D:
    i also hope Anders wont step on his baby…. you know, because of any screaming it may do…

    You can do it, Rene! You must be working so hard – I’m sure everybody appreciates this a whole lot.

    i wonder what the ‘otherwise strong concept’ was… just a picture of mario?

    @Miss Maria
    maybe mario as the mona lisa?

    @miss maria

    mario as an icon of the 90′s as mona lisa is an icon of the renaissance? pop culture taking the place of/eradicating high culture? there are a lot of reasons modeling mario as the mona lisa could be interesting/conceptually strong.

    or it could just be pretentious post-modern bullshit, your pick.

    @Sophie

    “or it could just be pretentious post-modern bullshit, your pick.”

    That was funnier when my crossed up eyes read that as

    “or it could just be pretentious post-modern bullshit, _you prick_.”

    @obo I did the same!

    Somehow I thought lena was saying “Ah ANDERS! My favorite student. [AND NOT JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR HUGE PENIS *NUDGE NUDGE*]”

    And lmao @ theshortcake.

    OK, I was curious and went back to read the first couple strips… strip #2 was this http://anderslovesmaria.reneengstrom.com/2006/09/18/2006-09-18/

    and the strip So we’ll move http://anderslovesmaria.reneengstrom.com/2009/07/06/254-so-well-move/

    This was probably pointed out already, but I just wanted to say how much I love your way with developing this story, René!
