The following comic is based on true events. *
* Lies! It’s all lies! Sara (now my wife, of course) and Carrie (married and living in Cincinnati) are wonderful people. At the time, I tended to drift off amid the kind of merriment pictured above. Though there were certainly cases when I felt that my modest intrusions into a drunken conversation were obliterated, there were also times that I just spent the duration of a social function sulking and doodling in a journal. In retrospect, I hope that this comic is just as hard on me as it is on the kind of loopy evening it otherwise describes.
I drew this four years ago, but it remains one of my favorite efforts–I don’t think I’ve been that inventive with captions and dialogue bubbles ever since.
