Saving...
You know, I almost didn’t do this comic.
After all, when your Average Joe thinks of a comic book, they don’t think of stories like Over. This isn’t a story about super heroes or cartoon characters or incredible people in incredible situations. For that reason, I knew it was going to be hard to pitch and difficult to market.
But one thing I was confident about was that this story would touch on themes that a whole lot of people can relate to. We’ve ALL had relationships that didn’t turn out the way we would have liked. We’ve all had our hearts broken one time or another (and most of us, sexy beasts that we are, have broken a heart or two ourselves as well.) And we’ve all probably done or said some stupid things in the aftermath. Looking back on them and laughing…well, that’s how we move on.
Special thanks to Over reader and funny man Frank Dipps for suggesting I borrow the “shaved one leg” gag from his stand-up routine. I think it fit perfectly.
