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)

OMG LCs version is hilarious.

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

two years pass...

RoxyMuzak© (roxymuzak), Thursday, 8 June 2006 12:48 (nineteen years ago)

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