Well, panel 2 just cracked me up -- especially the finger. Then it got all serious with no warning. That's life in a nutshell, isn't it?
Thanks for this.

Sorry for the serious, but it does all work together, as you said.

No apology needed, or requested. It's a tricky transition to pull off, and you did it well.
Anyway, lice humor is gallows humor at its blackest.

Well, yeah, it started well, and I was just in the mood for some funny stuff ...
That's how life is, right?
A kind of knock out feeling. But in a positive way.

noo, with the lice! we had em' for three months last year. apparently they've made themselves impervious to most known poisons. it ended in an unfortunate haircut and a bandana.
great story! touching + funny as always...

Oh, they're superbugs now. Next time I'm using an Uzi. Thanks so much for your comment.

Funny how you're working so hard to kill one organism and the death of another gets you. Life's little ironies, you do this kind of thing very well.

Heartbreaking.
I've been feeling this way about someone that was really important to me for awhile now. Thx for putting those feelings into comix form.

Little deaths, big deaths, and then more life. Always life.

And if you don't think I couldn't see that fucker with his beer and his TV and his bedroom slippers through my high-powered NASA microscope, you are quite wrong. Actually, if he'd had any more beer, I might have joined him...

Probably your best so far. Just when I think I have have something "important" to bitch about, life lets me know who is boss.
On a positive note, since Charlotte's hair has not upgraded to digital TV (as evidenced by the rabbit ears and no converter box) the head lice should be moving onto a more technologically advanced head of hair. Especially witht the NCAA b-ball final 4 this week.

Oh My God Dan You are Dangerously Goddamn Humorous!!! When are you going to write the ultimate comic which someone (because I may not be up to it) will draw? I swear to God, I can't stop laughing here.

Fantastic. Gets better and better with each reading. I think of my dad, our complicated relationship, and the hole he left.
You really know how to move.

Paul, you're way too kind. And I really take that as high praise from you, a master who can make his comics move backward, forward, inward, outward, with so little effort. Where can I find more of your stories? When is One Plus One coming back?!

Thanks Jennifer! No, YOU'RE way too kind!(we could do this ad infitum!) You do great stuff, never doubt it.
My earlier work was Sci fi stuff for the main UK anthology 2000ad and various small bits and pieces including a collaboration with Nick Abadzis. I could send you some of it via Live Journal if you'd like?
As for OPO, I've got to get some long standing commitments off the to-do list before I can go back to it. I'm aiming for November. I can safely say it's the most challenging exciting thing I've ever done and I dearly want to finish it.
I'm using the hiatus to look for a publisher. Wish me luck!
