I'm getting a lot of : sweet. How about: sick? Twisted? Out of control? Having been to the wedding this p.m., and gotten my ass rather toasted, I have have to say: am I now a halllmark card?

You took the off-ramp at Sick, took a hard right at Twisted, broke down at Out of Control, and somehow managed to wind up at the corner of Sweet and Touching.
As per usual.

Nah, Hallmark rarely uses the phrase "oh sh*t!" -- and a toally treackly account might leave out the earlier divorce. There's still a little edginess here. I for one would be up for a sequel about the reception, and what sh*t went down when you and presumably others got toasted.
The key thing: variety is the spice of life. Do some sweet ones and some sour ones. ;-)

I'm with Jim H - don't worry about mixing it up every now and then. Mentioning the divorce was keeping it real... which made the last panel all the more powerful. Hope and love win out here, but we know that's not always the case.

Great comments, guys, thanks for carrying on this heated debate while I slept it off. Yeah, the reception was very comics-worthy, graphic-novel-worthy, actually. But the hurricane was a disappointment and did not kill us all.

You're NOT a Hallmark Card. I've never seen a 12 page Hallmark card!

faqbulous, as usual, babe!!
I agree that a follow up about the reception would be grand (& it would give you alot more material that lends itself to sick & twisted, if YOUR weddings are anything like, oh, EVERYONE else's...) Big smootch to Tim from me, by the way (congratulatory, not predatory...)
LOVE, m.

You're home! Are you visiting this week? Many stories to tell, my friend, many stories to tell. And I know exactly how predatory you are...

All this talk of Hallmark makes me want to cry!
But not your comic!
I just enjoy.

You went a different route than I expected. Looking forward to hearing the "Paul Harvey" when you get back.
BTW, if you see my wedding ring that fell off while body surfining as Hurricane Floyed was coming up the coast about 12 years ago, let me know.

As George Michael so memorably put it " Ya gotta have faith,fu faith,fu faith! "
I like the poetic, oblique imagery AND the sweetness

Yeah, another 12 panels taking us through divorce, new beginnings, literary allusions, hope, love, loss. Just a typical day for you, huh? You big show-off.
