    I can’t believe no comments on this page. This is one of my all time favorites. Both in terms of this comic (my favorite page), and in general terms (one of my favorite comics) ^.^ <3 and support!

  2. RobMan says:

    Sir, you have created a beautiful, beautiful make-believe woman.

  3. Servon6 says:

    Impressive, most impressive. Now life has color again. Man, I thought, you were good, my mistake, you are a genius. Hats off to you, sincerely.

  4. Jon says:

    …aaaaand we have color!

  5. Brad says:

    kinda like if kissing each other gave them new purpose … no, wait, sorry, I’ve been reading too many manga comics lately, it’s just that they finally went color.

  6. I dont’ know if you foresaw adding color at this point when you created this or if it’s something that came to mind as you went through this…but judging by the character development and the fact that the whole comic thus far has taken place through just one day, I’m chalking this up to a stroke of genius. This is by far one of the most insightful comics out there, albeit with a seemingly amateurish shell…not unlike a certain Thomas Blackwell.

  7. Niagareven says:

    What’s really great is how he was just explaining how when “author girl” left his world had gone gray. WEll, no longer! ^.^

  8. Nick says:

    That was one of my favorite comic moments, I’m sincerely impressed by the development and can’t wait to get all caught up with this comic.

  14. JohnSmith says:

    I was wondering about the colorless/color thing. Now I really appreciate it.

  15. Anonymous says:

    On the other end of a messy break up, this gives me hope.
    Pure genius, in comic form. You’re brilliant.

  16. NoMemory says:

    I have to say, planned or not, this has incredible impact. One panel, and wham, everything is different. Just like when it happens in real life. Unbelievable, man. I know I’m a year late, but I just found this comic today.

  17. random name says:

    Anyone else just waiting for brooksie to pop up?

  18. Cervantes913 says:

    Don’t “nuke the fridge” and break them up. That 70’s Show did that and it was bull-shit

  19. SotiCoto says:

  22. Brandon says:

  26. Riddik7 says:

    …. my friend keeps telling himself its an animated character as if he fell for her… what a freak….

  27. Okami says:

    You fell for Nina….Moron. Besides, she’s just an animated character. :( (hangs himself) x_x

  28. Riddik7 says:

    ya well unlike you i actualy knew a chick who looked and acted almost exactly like her… *provides rope for Okami*

  29. Okami says:

    (recently respawned) Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!.
    … Thats all I got. (re-hangs himself)

  30. Riddik7 says:

    not even worthy of a comeback…

  31. Nick says:

    never have I seen a comic writter use color as a huge part of their story, you sir, are a genius

  32. Yamara says:

    Toto, I have the feeling we’re not in Failure anymore.

  33. Anonymous says:

  34. fire42uck says:

    Mad props. I just HAD to comment when I saw this one.

  35. David 1/0 says:

    *Cheers.*

  36. Kunnaki says:

    *Still covering eyes* Congrats on the color, dude. Maybe its just because I’ve gotten use to being gray.

  37. Anonymous says:

    You know, going through the first strips I thought the story wasn´t much, the art was inconsistent at times, not really that good, verage webcomic….- but with this I think it turned up great! Thanks for sharing this story, hope you keep improving your art and hope we can see your name on the printed comics world. Congratulations, you have a really good story, keep up the good work.

  38. Crave says:

    Thank you for the most backhanded compliment I’ve gotten in a long time…

  39. wolfjmk says:

    I love this! someone final made the big girl the princess for once i love you for this even more now

  40. Q says:

    And then god said there was color.
    And there was color.
    And it was good.

  41. r2streu says:

    I just found this comic today, but I wanted to stop and say that this is one of the most insightful comics I’ve seen, and this scene captures exactly why.

    Well done. I’m already hooked.

  42. also a failure says:

    I started to read this comic 2 days ago.
    Finally a comic that’s not about drinking like a horse, everyone f*cking with everyone, hangovers, and other moraly ill things.
    I like the storyline so far and I like the style you draw the characters.
    I’m not the type, who leaves a comment, but I had to ask.
    So, I noticed that everyone has their ears drawn their own way. I guess that’s part of your style, but have you ever tried to draw them (pardon for the word) properly?
    Looking at this picture I find that Carol’s ears is the only thing that breaks the beauty of this picture.
    No offense really, just curious.

  43. Okagami says:

    Q the sappy romance music now!

  44. Caregiver says:

    I’m catching up with this comic, and have to note that you haven’t been given enough praise for this point in the story.

    Seriously….Good Job.

  45. Some french guy says:

    Just loving it!
    Loving it all. The black and white, the color, the story, the characters.
    You got me hooked good.
    On a side note let me say, you can count me in your ever-growing you-gotta-love-the-big-girls-tribe.

    • Crave says:

      Welcome to the tribe. Please allow me to present you with your very own silly hat.

      • Kav says:

        I found you about 2 weeks ago. I gotta say I feel exactly like that^ guy. Your character development is absolutely outstanding. I feel like they could be real people that I know, and I can’t say that about anything else. I absolutely love your work.

  46. Davy says:

    Ahh, now thats what i like to see. Good job to you and to you two

  47. ThemePark says:

    I don’t really have anything new to say. Everything I felt when I came to this point in the comic, has been said already.

    I read a few of the latest comics before reading from the beginning, so I knew there would be colour. I figured it was just a matter of you improving your artistic skills and therefore applying colour after a certain amount of time, when you had gotten better and felt like challenging yourself. But the last few panels before this one slowly made me realize what was about to happen.

    Whether this has been planned all or along, or was just a great idea that popped into your head somewhere along the story arc, doesn’t matter. Like others have said, using colour from this point in the story is a stroke of genius and makes perfect sense. I have never before read a webcomic where an artistic change has been so significant to the story or comic itself. But here it had to be done.

    I bow down to you in respect, Jackie. I bow down to you.
