"SM, slender, looking for SF, any type" ("Sex and the City")
For this entry, I decided to fly solo and give Tony the week off. Part of that was because I had fallen behind. The picture was already a week late and instead of pressuring Tony into completing it right away, I took it upon myself. Plus I knew going in the page would be very text heavy.
But the other reason; the thing that convinced me this was a good idea; was that underneath all the gags and punch lines is a situation I more than can relate to on a very personal level. It was, for lack of a better word, autobiographical.
Of course I'm not some burned-up corpse and I've never had super powers (I can't even see the color purple) but those feelings like I'm some hideous freak who is always getting rejected is something I experience more than I'd care for. Having my hopes raised only to be stood up and told I'm a loser is so frequent, it's almost as if my life was on a constant loop. And yes, sometimes it results with me laying on the floor listening to cheesy music that doesn't make it any better.
But instead of ending this on a sad note, I decided to give Crispie a break. It sounds odd but I didn't want something I co-created to be as lonely as I am. I hope it's a good ending and a positive message. And I guess that's all I have to say about that. - Jake
