Cartoons & Comics / Traditional Media / Comics / Pages

a note about this comic: I drew this before Valentine's Day, but for one reason or another never finished coloring it or expanding upon what happens. Regardless, i think it works decently as it is and i thought i'd share it.

This one's a little different tone for "Bomango" so i'm not sure how it'll go over. I've personally felt the same way as Andy lots of times, but it wasn't until I became an adult that I really felt regret over being an ass to people by omission of action or compassion. Good intentions have a way of feeling less "good" when you don't actually put yourself on the line, even if it's nothing really world-shattering.

It's weird how these sorts of things feel more life-or-death when in school. Andy might be a good kid, but he's still wired to worry about what people think, and visibly reaching out to someone who's the school whipping post might be noble, but for some reason it's really hard to do.

Of course, Didi sees no such distinctions, so the solution is simple to her. (And anyway, Andy's friendship with Gogo should really have worn away his "worrying what people think" stigma by now, don't you think?)

so yeah...kind of unfinished, kind of different, but there it is.

thanks for watching

I gotta say my life definitely got better the day I stopped caring what people think

Didi is so awesome, I love her so much!

it's a hard web to crawl out of. it DOES matter what people think (to a certain extent), but how much concern to put upon it is an elusive formula, hehe

Chibi cheerleader Didi? Well I suppose that would really help drive the point home...

If you ask me, this sounds like typical Andy. There are always areas where you're sure of yourself and others where you are just lost. Usually when Andy gets lost, he needs an emotional GPS. Thank goodness for Didi, no?

worry about what people think? fuck that. follow your

~zippo360 Jun 3, 2012

you know after reading this I couldn't help but remember what I said to a new friend of mine...

"When you are a little kid the world is full of magic. But as you grow older you find the world is harsh and unforgiving, so you must find a little magic in every day life or it will be a very short lived life."

So in other workd dont under estimate a simple smile and saying hello to people once and a wile.

One magical thing that keeps me going is (My Little Pony) I know its not for everyone but it feels me up with worm fuzzy feelings.

OH AND I REALLY LIKE YOUR ART!

I really like the way that you drew this. You are impressive. I hope you can see the ways that you are getting better and better as an illustrator. Good job! Deep topic too. I have felt similar. And I've also been in Erica's shoes too, where kindness was offered to me but I didn't know why and I couldn't tell if it was sincere. I hope that as I have grown I have learned to not care, and help whoever needs it. I'm not perfect, but I have had a few personal victories.

This is not unfinished. This is complete.
