#145 From Two Years Ago…


The Land Before Time

Two years ago, before Sean and I decided that we wanted to do comics, I drew four or five practice comics. When we started posting them, the rest I kept as a buffer for when I didn’t have time to draw new ones. This is the comic that slipped through the cracks and never got posted… until now.

When we first started dating, I think Sean mostly liked me for the weird noises I made. Like one time while eating pizza I snort-grunted, or something like that, which is a noise I don’t think I could possibly recreate. And then if you grab your cheeks and pull them in and out really fast it sounds like something dirty. Sean would have me make noises like that on command, which I guess is where this comic came from?

The whole thing is pretty awkward, but I still like this comic. This is where we got our icons! And it’s the first time I realized I could have the characters interacting with the panels. And the drawing of me weeping in the shower might be one of my favorite panels ever.

They Can’t All Be Winners

We did this comic at a younger more innocent time, a simpler time, before complexities like “readers” existed.

    Oh man! I used to do the squishy noise all the time!

    and then one of my friends said it sounded like [censored] into a large tub of [censored] fourteen sharks [censored] double tree hotel [censored] a large bag of doritos someone spit in then shook up and crushed.

    I took a cold shower ten minutes later, but I didn’t cry! A lot…

    I didn’t sleep for almost a week.

    I start to cry whenever someone asks me to make the noise.

    This one is part of my top ten favourites. I also tried making that cheek sound following your post’s instructions. My cheeks hurt now.
