Valentine’s Day

This is the most effeminate comic I have ever made.

Transcript

Valentine’s Day is coming up.
Part of me wants to break out the glitter and glue.
Make cards for each of my friends and coworkers.
But my life is too crazy right now.
Other tasks take priority.
I hate being an adult.

  1. Well Ryan…All I can suggest is…

    Meditate!

    p.s.: I like the color palette. Makes me wanna watch a Pink Panther cartoon!

  2. Ryan Dow says:

    Yeah, this comic just wouldn’t have felt right in gray. Looking at it makes me want to insulate an attic.

  3. I’m thinking you could have selectively used the pink, rather than making everything pink. In the context of the coloring of your comics, one pink heart — or maybe also pink construction paper — would have been just as shocking.

    That said, I like it!

  4. Ryan Dow says:

    I’m making a mental note to try that in the future.

  5. McCarthy says:

    While it may be in the top five, I don’t think this is the MOST effeminate comic you have ever made.

  6. Ryan Dow says:

    Good point.

  7. Jon Sloan says:

    Funny, I have the exact opposite reaction to V-Day. Never appreciated the Hallmark Hell it inflicts on people. IMHO, it’s evil…pure and simple.

  8. Ryan Dow says:

    I guess I just haven’t been through enough Hallmark Hell yet.

  9. I concur with my esteemed colleagues from St. Paul, Milwaukee, and Crystal respectively. I especially like panel four.

  10. Ryan Dow says:

    Yes, I also like the Dilbert hypno-vision.

  11. Jon Sloan says:

    Well, If you’ve also had more than your share of bad luck around the holiday as I have, it also tends to sway your opinion.

  12. Ryan Dow says:

    That is probably true.

  13. McCarthy says:

    Happy Valentine’s Day, brother.

  14. Ryan Dow says:

    Happy Valentine’s to you, too.

  15. Edith B. says:

    This is a great comic! I have a box of valentines I never got around to giving this year.. sigh.

  16. Ryan Dow says:

    Yeah, I didn’t get any valentines out either. :(
