is this comic at all reminiscent of your early 20s?

Except for the indie-rock show part that's pretty much like every relationship ever isn't it?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Excepting panels 2 and three - fuck no.

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:32 (twenty-one years ago)

You've never experienced panels 4 and 5?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow, I'm actually shocked at how completely I can't relate to that at all. I love the art, though.

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:34 (twenty-one years ago)

swop "indie rock show" to "indie pop club"

― the surface noise (electricsound), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:34 (twenty-one years ago)

nope, not me either. I spent my early-20's as an engineering student.

― Kingfish Disraeli (Kingfish), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:35 (twenty-one years ago)

oo.. that was meant to be in answer to the thread - not a rebuttal.

panel 4 - no
panel 5 - yes but not in my early 20s

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually I guess I wasn't moving in with people and splitting up stuff in my early 20s either. I was definitely being secretly hated though.

Anyone disturbed at all by the fact that cunnilingus is being performed by big-eyed kids in that one frame?

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:37 (twenty-one years ago)

No.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:37 (twenty-one years ago)

it looks like the storyboard for a pulp video

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Or the next Hugh Grant movie. . .

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:42 (twenty-one years ago)

those badger faces scare the christ out of me.

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I find them haunting and poignant.

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Perv

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:45 (twenty-one years ago)

(I have met someone at an indie-rock show...but does Momus count?)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:45 (twenty-one years ago)

only if you performed cunnilingus on him.

― hstencil, Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I had no idea you drunkenly made out with Momus, Ned.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:47 (twenty-one years ago)

EWWWW

― the surface noise (electricsound), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought we'd all drunkenly made out with Momus!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:47 (twenty-one years ago)

No, they've all jumped straight to panel 4.

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Someone needs to photoshop their heads on this thing.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I quite fancy the badger-headed girl. Should I be worried?

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:49 (twenty-one years ago)

It's long overdue at this point.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:49 (twenty-one years ago)

N are you also attracted Archie characters?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think I have ever seen them. They never really hit the UK. I'll check on the internet and report back.

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I fear the results.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Well if he can't get Cherry Poptart in the UK he should be okay.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:55 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, no I'm not.

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 25 April 2004 23:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Wait, Veronica is quite hot.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 26 April 2004 00:01 (twenty-one years ago)

In the course of researching that, I found the most baffling website in the world. It is not safe to view at work.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 26 April 2004 00:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Josie was foxy.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Monday, 26 April 2004 00:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Some of the kids on Digimon were pretty hot. *shoots self in head*

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Monday, 26 April 2004 00:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm waiting for someone to express an attraction for Bumblebee from the Transformers and then I am killing all of you.

"Don't you love me anymore Alex?"

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Monday, 26 April 2004 00:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Not since I watched the Thundercats.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 26 April 2004 00:19 (twenty-one years ago)

the comic won't show up at the top of the page, and when i go to the url it seems to be missing. this thread has intrigued me so much i even tried to find a google cache of the comic!
help!! did anyone save it to their computer and can repost?
be your friend.

― emjj, Monday, 26 April 2004 03:08 (twenty-one years ago)

i apologise for excessive use of punctuation in that last post, i'm drunk on tequila and curious.

― emjj, Monday, 26 April 2004 03:11 (twenty-one years ago)

The above comic does not relate to my love life as much as Beetle Bailey..

― gery f (beckricci), Monday, 26 April 2004 04:30 (twenty-one years ago)

they look like Margaret Keane paintings. except fucking.
no my life was not like this.

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 26 April 2004 04:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think Bumblebee was the Transformer I had the hots for, but there might actually have been one. I was 10, things were confused.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 26 April 2004 07:27 (twenty-one years ago)

why can everyone else see it but not i?
i'm onto long island ice teas now but i swear i can see properly

― emjj, Monday, 26 April 2004 07:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe your ISP has blocked badger-faced porn.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 26 April 2004 07:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm actually kinda grateful my early twenties never worked even remotely like this. I say this as someone who moved away from that period of her life some four months ago, and BTW, that isn't even my present. Hurrah.

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Monday, 26 April 2004 07:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe I am retarded, but it is more reminiscent of my late 20s.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 26 April 2004 07:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I cannot relate to it.

Except maybe panel 4.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 26 April 2004 07:53 (twenty-one years ago)

How's this, Ronan?

― LC, Monday, 26 April 2004 08:12 (twenty-one years ago)

i can see the emended version but not the original... now i want to know the original captions MORE THAN EVER.
i assure you, my browser is VERY openminded.

― emjj, Monday, 26 April 2004 08:17 (twenty-one years ago)

definitely better dude.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 26 April 2004 08:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Ha ha.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 26 April 2004 08:21 (twenty-one years ago)

It's just missing a half hour "oh my god where am I, HOW WILL I GET HOME" bathroom part.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 26 April 2004 08:23 (twenty-one years ago)

how did those dolls know what i've been doing for the last 10 years?

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 26 April 2004 09:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I wanted to share my version, maybe more people will relate to this:

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Monday, 26 April 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 3 June 2004 04:09 (twenty-one years ago)

two years pass...

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 8 June 2006 12:43 (nineteen years ago)

Another call for the return of this cartoon! (please tell me the orginal didn't have oral sex in it)
