@Von Havick

Not necessarily. That could be AFTER she is accepted to school, meaning she still has time to cut it short.

Beautiful work, as always, Rene

@Celeste: It’s true, the comic is called ANDERS loves Maria. Which is why I hate every character not named Anders!

Wow, everyone seems to be feeling so bad for Bjorn, I kind of hate him. I don’t know why, I guess it’s just because he has far too big of an ego for my tastes. And, after all, the comic is called Anders Loves Maria, not Bjorn Loves Maria. But maybe I’m just a heartless goblin who relishes in other people’s misery.

I think Maria looks beautiful with longer hair… I wish she didn’t cut it when she got older Maybe she can grow it out again *hint hint*

Also, Americans, remember –

in other countries, abortion has not been made by politicians into the major moral issue that it is there.

Also, Maria already has convinced herself, correctly or not, that Bjorn does not want to have a baby. Add that to repeated reassurances that she’s been accepted to art school, and she has probably already made up her mind to have a termination. It is not something to judge her about.

But why does everyone assume she is going to sleep with Anders? She just met him, and seems okay with but not completely bowled over by him. Contrast with when she first met Bjorn and was utterly enamored almost immediately — in that context, the thought of them having sex that night made more sense.
Not so much with Anders, unless she either has a major ‘oh well, so what’ moment or he takes advantage. Neither scenario would likely lead to an 8-plus-year relationship …

It’s more likely that the miscarriage would be due to the tremendous beating Maria’s cervix and ute would take from Ander’s over-endowment *ahem* in a drunken heat-of-the-moment romp

Abby that is simply untrue. Don’t get huffy.

There are simply no–zero–scientific studies showing what “rare” or “occasional” drinking do to a fetus.

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/29/dining/29preg.html

“Clinically speaking, there is no such thing as moderate drinking in pregnancy” said Dr. Ernest L. Abel, a professor at Wayne State University Medical School in Detroit, who has led many studies on pregnancy and alcohol. “The studies address only heavy drinking” — defined by the National Institutes of Health as five drinks or more per day — “or no drinking.”

“Lisa Felter McKenney, a teacher in Chicago whose first child is due in January, said she feels comfortable at her current level of three drinks a week, having been grudgingly cleared by her obstetrician. ”

Alarmist people who push their narrow-minded views on others–in direct contravention and opposition to science–are irritating on their best days.

@Tez, its irresponsible to drink at all during pregnancy, no matter how little. so YOU ‘chill out’

I like that Sofi’s doing the trendy thing drinking red wine while Maria goes for the “stor stark” with Anders. At least I assume it’s beer. Maybe it’s apple juice, what with the bebbe and all.
