Oh this was a loooong work day. I had to spend a lot of time setting up my new studio. Anyway. Here’s today’s strip. NSFW entirely. No.

After a whole day of waiting, it was worth it. I lol’d.
August 18th, 2009 at 1:24 am
Oh Anders! I certainly don’t remember such goings on at my art school. However, they did convert the dark room into a copy room . . hmmmm.
Thanks Rene. Keep up the amazing work!
August 18th, 2009 at 1:24 am
Maybe I’m a bad person, but I can’t wait to see how this relationship falls apart. I love Maria and Sofi just seems so smug to me.
August 18th, 2009 at 1:41 am
Came here from QC, read every strip, loving it. Keep up the good work. On another note, it seems kind of silly to moderate comments. Is it because there’s an abundance of spamming or what?
August 18th, 2009 at 2:05 am
My first thought was, “HOLY CRAP. She wants him touching her when he’s developing!? I HOPE SHE WASHES.” I wash like a maniac when developing film and prints.
Well, actually, I don’t really like Sofi much, so she can keep all those photo chemicals on her.
xD
August 18th, 2009 at 2:10 am
@Jon, I think there is an abundance of jerks out there who like to tear down our dear comictress for some reason. Bad bad people.
In other news: wonderful page. Take your time in uploading the future updates!!
August 18th, 2009 at 2:30 am
I love the wit in every page of this comic.
But I must say, I have to agree with Ellie: wash your hands, Anders!!!
August 18th, 2009 at 2:42 am
Jesse: Well, photodeveloping class in my high school sure made people get naked a lot, so I guess Konstfack is no change. XD
August 18th, 2009 at 3:43 am
@Jon, Because people think they are entitled to things for free, and as once said by a great internet comedian, people will pass up steak once a week for shit every day.
@Stef, Nothing but drama happened in mine, bleh. Lucky.
@Rene Nice to see you back; I’ve been refreshing the page almost every day even though I knew it wasn’t coming. I was just excited!
August 18th, 2009 at 4:09 am
yaaaaaaaaaaaay you’re back, rene!!!
August 18th, 2009 at 4:14 am
Love the photo developing red! Do not love Sofi, which I guess is Rene’s intention. Also, Sofi has really long arms. o_o
“Is it because there’s an abundance of spamming or what?”
There was a ton of spam on the forums, so probably.
August 18th, 2009 at 4:28 am
I don’t quite understand why people dislike Sofi. This is her first introduction, right? Methinks people just don’t like that she’s not-Maria.
August 18th, 2009 at 6:05 am
What a great Return Comic! I’m so glad you’re back!
August 18th, 2009 at 7:05 am
…Wow…just found a link on Jeph Jacque’s Live Journal and…wow…
I haven’t moved from this spot for four hours, reading every comic!
August 18th, 2009 at 7:42 am
Yay to the return of Anders Loves Maria
Hope vacation was great!
August 18th, 2009 at 8:07 am
Wow. Uhm. Never played the “Guess Who” game to that extent.
August 18th, 2009 at 9:40 am
I also found you through Jeph’s page and I’ve been up all night reading. I love your comic
August 18th, 2009 at 10:23 am
I came from QC, and i have to say mighty awsomly awsome comic!!!
August 18th, 2009 at 10:24 am
Is that smell the fixer or…
something naughty?
Smells like a rotten egg.
August 18th, 2009 at 11:02 am
@Rene, I’ve read this comic through three times without ever commenting, but now I just have to tell you that I LOVE it. Found it through QC and I couldn’t keep my mouth shut anymore.
I’m so happy you’re back and I’m looking forward to every update as if it were Christmas.
Everyone’s dissing Sofi but you gotta admit she has a fantastic pair of tits. :3
August 18th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
I came here from QC and swiftly fell in love
August 18th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
I never really realized how awkwardly tall Anders is. Bad time to notice, I think.
August 18th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Men vad fint det blev i vårt nya hem Rene! Det här kommer bli en toppenhöst med en massa fina serier och ännu fler fina fniss-stunder! <3
August 18th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
Haha, oh wow. Shameful as it is, I have to say this brings back memories
And as always, amazing.
August 18th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
When I hit panel four I was like… wo, he’s groping her, luckily I am quick enough that I realized it was ok by the end
Soo happy you are back from Vaca. hope it was relaxing, and good luck with the start of school!
August 18th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
@Leah Sofi was introduced two updates ago! She seems very jealous and/or pretentious.
August 18th, 2009 at 7:29 pm
I’ve always wondered just HOW many women Anders has fucked in his lifetime.
After all, every single female introduced in this strip with the exception of one has wanted to immediately jump down his pants or has already jumped down his pants. It seems kind of ridiculous to me that almost EVERY girl in the strip would. I know he’s somewhat famous but…really? This many?
August 18th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Welcome back!
And what a lovely reflection on the dark room scene with Little Shit in the “present” of the story line.
August 18th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
@Leah: I don’t like Sofi because she gave Maria a really nasty look when she didn’t even know her. Also, she has evil eyes.
@EFAF: I think there are two exceptions… His mom and Asa (sp? Johan’s girlfriend).
August 18th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
EFAF,
I have a good friend who has that affect on women. With the exception of 2 women I know (both of whom were girlfriends of mine), every lady we jointly knew either wanted to jump him or did jump him as soon as they could.
If I could just bottle and sell whatever he has, I would be a bazillionaire.

i bet maria walks in on them and freaks out then anders chases after her naked thru out the campus
August 19th, 2009 at 2:09 am
wait, which one *hasn’t*?
August 19th, 2009 at 3:00 am
It can happen. All you really need is a strong jaw line, low standards, and the ability to say yes even when you don’t really mean it.
Rene, I love your comic and I find the little cultural differences between my part of the world and what I presume is your part of the world to be a nice perk. And I don’t like Anders very much. His penis should probably be fitted with a lock for his own good.
August 19th, 2009 at 3:08 am
OK, so that’s hot. Go Anders and Sofi!
August 19th, 2009 at 4:05 am
Another QC fan here. Your comic is amazing. These are easily among the best characters and stories I’ve ever seen in a webcomic and I’m loving your art. I’ll definitely keep coming back to see what happens!
August 19th, 2009 at 8:52 am
Totally went here without thinking at work. Luckily there was no one around! Looking good, glad you’re back Rene!
August 19th, 2009 at 8:55 am
Ohhh, so happy for update! I can’t wait for more.
August 19th, 2009 at 9:21 am
“wait, which one *hasn’t*?”
His mom (I hope) and Åsa.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:57 am
“All you really need is a strong jaw line, low standards, and the ability to say yes even when you don’t really mean it.”
This really made my day! I just couldn’t stop laughing.
BTW strip was great as always!
August 19th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
Wooo! So glad the strip is back!
This comic is one of my favorites. It is almost perfect, I only have one complaint. The abundant flash-backs have confused me a lot, but I’m not the quickest gal, so…*shrug*
August 19th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
This is beautiful, and… um… reminds me of my art-school days. Heh.
I don’t get how people can dislike Sofi already. She’s dating someone untrustworthy, so she fears the arrival of another cute girl. I think it would be hard not to feel jealous and insecure when dating Anders.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Probably your best one so far, the slight sexual humour is your forte, definately
August 20th, 2009 at 2:03 am
The second to last panel is just beautiful.
I just absolutely love the way it’s drawn.
You are a true artist, Rene
August 20th, 2009 at 6:30 am
I don’t get the Sofi hate. All we’ve seen of her is just her glaring at Maria. Once. Mandy put it well, so I’ll just QFE. “She’s dating someone untrustworthy, so she fears the arrival of another cute girl. I think it would be hard not to feel jealous and insecure when dating Anders.”
And that, as they say, is that.
August 20th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
That fourth panel is adorable, for some reason.
August 24th, 2009 at 7:01 am
EFAF:
Don’t forget, Anders is fairly famous, even if he’s not famous for doing very much. His appeal can be summed up in one word: groupies.
September 4th, 2009 at 9:53 am
last 2 panels = so sexy ! Full-of-Orgasm-Win- sexy! Thanks for kicking arse, Rene!
September 18th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
I can’t think of too many art students I’ve met who haven’t had this particular fantasy!
February 7th, 2010 at 3:21 pm
Life is so poetically eternal and cruel…
