Most real life people i know would react with “get off me i dont want to be touched right now” when they are that mad because they are processing the emotion they are having and unwelcome touching like that can come off as not permitting anger as an emotion to process.
And i understand on the face of it that sounds harsh to bystanders but i can also understand that moment is about learning and processing and managing hard emotions for that person needing to hold that moment for themselves.
I wish they had a website that they posted their comics to other than Instagram. Feeder can’t properly scrape Instagram so I can’t “follow” them without visiting a meta site, I just read them via osmosis on Lemmy and discord and whatnot.
You have problems with Meta but you’re still on Discord??

Tangential, but ever since we watched Obsession I can’t get up to pee in the middle of the night anymore without my girlfriend shrieking “STAAAAAAAY!!”
Count your blessings. That’s seriously awesome.
~For funsies go buy those housebreaking pee pads for pets, and leave one right by the door. When you leave make sure your girlfriend is standing nearby so when she asks why that’s there, you can tell her it’s so when she *waves hands* “does things”, the pad will catch it for her.~
Great movie, but that would creep me out!
Who just gets up and walks away after a hug like that? You should stay and cuddle…
“Mad” as in “angry”, I assume. So, the woman is angry at the guy. You don’t want to force them into a cuddle, if they need a bit of distance to cool down first…
She’s not necessarily angry at the guy, just angry in general. She might prefer to be alone after something irritating or otherwise anger inducing happened, and he’s trying to add a little love to remind her that he’s there, then leave so he can give her space to be angry.
Fair enough. I assumed, she’s angry at the guy, because then it’s the usual reversal of expectations that she wants more cuddles…
Yeah but he gave her a hug. You can’t just give a drive by hug when someone is angry. Either you go for the silent apologetic cuddles or you stay away.
Well, the lady in the comic agrees with you, so who am I to disagree…?
That font or handwriting is unreadable.
It’s a bit annoying, but unreadable? Most people discussing the post seem to have been able to read it.
Ehh. It’s a choice for sure, but it’s not unreadable.
My 50 yo eyes beg to differ
Elvis was still alive when I was born too. Put your glasses on.
Definitely took more effort than usual for me, idk
It’s the keming (kerning).
Technically it’s the letter spacing since it’s every letter, but just a few pairs.
I’d bet, even without looking at other strips in the series, that it’s a font. The letters are very consistent.
I was looking at comic lettering the other day, and saw someone try to make a font based on Bill Watterson’s lettering in Calvin and Hobbes. One thing you immediately notice is that all of the individual letters look identical. You can make variable fonts these days, and I’d guess that there’s likely some technical route to create variation, but ordinarily, fonts don’t have that variation, and even someone who does a lot of lettering has a certain amount of natural variation from letter to letter.
It’s so weird.
I think I’d have an easier time reading unowns from pokémon than this.
But so stylish
Its like its mirrored but not
You don’t like handwritten monospace??
It’s not monospace. The “r” is very narrow, for example.
EDIT: Some unusual properties:
-
Very tight letter spacing.
-
Very low crossbar on the “t”.
-
Very small (looks up term) bottom terminal on “a”.
-
Use of all lowercase.
-
Apostrophe absent or very small in “you’re”.
-
Tiny middle bar on “m”.
-
No descenders.
