Ah, I’m sure my Bf agrees with this =))
That made me smile =)
There is a male, sitting awkwardly on a single size bed. There is a female, who appears to be spinning in circles on the floor next to the bed. The male asks the female what she is doing. She explains that she is spinning counterclockwise to counteract the earth’s clockwise rotational force (southern hemisphere), in order to delay the rising of the sun and thus gain more night time to spend with the male. One can assume that the two characters are teenaged, as the coming of the morning would not affect two adult’s ability to see each other and, presumably, fornicate.
This comic strip is not intended to be humorous. It is meant to represent what the author believes it would be like for two people to be in love. Essentially, one partner tries fruitlessly to use science in order to gain a small amount of time with the other person.
It appears that this idealized belief has been formed by years of guessing as to what someone in love might desire, based on the hyper-emotional needs of the author.
Gah, should have tried this while you were still here.
Soon enough, it’d be you and me, just like that.
“They left us their paw prints we no longer see,
their happiness still in our minds.
They left us fond memories to you and to me,
their friendship will last all of time.
They left us their shadows grow dimmer to fade,
but never forgotten we’ll see.
They left us their photos to gaze at each day,
to brighten us up when we’re down.
They left us their feelings their purrs and their meows,
that echo around empty rooms.
They left us those moments to think of and smile,
of footfalls not gentle, like horses.
They left us their playing they thought such a lark,
with toy mice and baubles a plenty.
And the house was all empty without our small friends,
but the love that they gave will remain…”

“Do not accept any discrimination or perceived discrimination as an excuse for failure. See it as an obstacle to overcome and an opportunity to strengthen your resolve.”
“There is no half-measure when it comes to loving someone. You either don’t, or you do with every cell in your body, completely and utterly, without reservation or apology. It consumes you, and you are reborn, all the better for it.”
Adrian Tan, author of The Teenage Textbook and The Teenage Workbook
