It’s always annoying to state your questionable behaviors and have the moment of realization of how questionable they really are. But, live, laugh, learn, or whatever. Anyway, sine I’m closing in on being ten minutes late to post I’ll just let you all keep arguing about who deserves to be in love with who. Try not to be too mean to each other. No one likes having cannon fire aimed at their ship. I hope you have a nice midweek, and will see you on Friday. Until then, retain instructions for future reference.

You learn more from failure than from success. John failed with Alex and with help, has realized his own shortcomings. This can lead to growth, and greater opportunities at something that lasts with someone new. (Cough!) Victoria! (Cough!) Sorry, I think I need a throat lozenge.

Honestly I love the way all the ships are developing, just trying to determine who has a rock solid foundation and future and who might fall apart later. The absolute immense amount of drama the universe can farm at your local retailer is ridiculous xD

The Shippers war on the sea of love,
But eventually some will be sunk… by canon.

The thing about Maddison, is that having told him he sucks, she’s still going to want to be friends with him, and she’s not going to constantly beat him up about it.

Or at least that’s my read on Maddison’s character.

She’s cute in the sense that she’s direct without being malicious. I wish more people would call out each other’s shit the way she does. No one’s perfect.

[Singing]-

“The REAL American HERO-Ohhhh!
G. I. MADDIE is there-air-air!”

[ That’s some 1980s, TV trivia, for you there.]

This cements why I think Maddison is perfect for John

I don’t see it.

Look, dude… Reggie is with Alex. That’s the current status of things. There’s no indication John is going to get with Alex. Just… get over it. This is like a week of this ‘nuh-uh!’ b.s. from you now.

But I don’t want Alex with John. I want Victoria with John, I like Alex with Reggie.

John isn’t good enough for Victoria yet. Maddison though might be the friend that puts him on the right track to getting better though…

I don’t think John will ever be good enough for Victoria, if her family is anything to go by. Sure there might be some attraction to him, but beyond that, not sure?

With Maddie pointing out that he sucks at relationships and not being malicious and still willing to talk to him, it kind of set things up that John will have to actually improve himself, and maybe he’ll fail with Victoria, maybe not, but definitely find that her family have high standards and won’t like him much.

Do you mean her family will reject John? Because Reggie is prepared for them to reject Alex and doesn’t care, and Victoria has made it pretty clear she’s equally frustrated with how her family operates. Or do you mean Victoria herself will reject John because the Boothe’s are stuck-up? Because, well, I guess that’s possible, sometimes the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, even when they think they do, but I think Victoria deserves the chance to prove her own value and not just be judged based on Dragon Mom.

To me, John’s interactions with Maddison are like those he has with Brooksie, there’s too much little sister energy emanating from her for me to ship them. While Maddison is proving more insightful than at first glance, I’d say she herself isn’t ready for a relationship with anyone yet.

*Man doesn’t like fat chicks
*Man realizes there was one fat chick he actually did sorta like anyway, because of her intelligence and wit, but has missed his opportunity
*Man is revealed to be insensitive to the feelings of women
THEREFORE
*Man gets with fat chick who is the least intelligent woman in town

I love a porkchop sandwich. I cracker crust and fry my pork chops and then have them with saurkraut and homemade tartar sauce. Absolutely delightful.

The other half, of course, is incredible violence.

Cartoonish violence, even!

holy shit I just started this and it’s still being published to this day i’m never going to finish this

Yes, you will. It’s a bingeworthy comic.

Your art is outstanding, I can completely see and feel the emotions each of the characters are feelling. Especially today with John. I can completely see his hair being swiped back over his head as he comes to some uncomfortable realizations.

Dude you kind of suck that belongs on a t-shirt

The slogan or the image?

Sometimes it is necessary to have someone hold a mirror to you in order to realize you’re a dick. I had a period like this after my fiancé and I separated the month before our wedding. I would meet and date girls/women and as soon as they said “I love you” or something similar that represented more than just a fling, I bolted and ghosted them. Took me one of these mirrors 5 years later to learn that that was a trauma response because my every move got dictated in that prior relationship.
Doesn’t mean I wasn’t being a dick. Thankfully, I happened to meet one of them again 14 years after: We’ve both matured a lot since that time, and we are now set to marry next year.

So not all hope is lost, John. There’s time to mend your ways ^_^
