*heh* After this strip, Brig, I half expect it to be written in the “hard-boiled gumshoe” style of Mickey Spillane. Oh… look! You even have a (Mike) Hammer in there! 😉
You really never know– 6 months after my mom told my dad she never wanted to see him again, he decided to ask her out on a date anyway. And boy am I glad he did!
“I left my heart in San Francisco” jokes aside, I have left behind a few failed romances in that city by the Bay. Ryan really is better off moving on; you can drive yourself nuts thinking about how some things just didn’t go as planned.
…of course I really AM nuts, so that explains a lot. Beware, Ryan! These are the chains I forged in life! Bewaaaaaaaare!
E/O… I’m with you and so I’m a bit confused by this comic.
Rye is closing the relationship by taking back his journal notebooks in order to nail shut his collaborative life experiences with Emily only to then write a novel???
Rye, Rye, Rye…If you want to let the old stuff go, let Em have the journals.
If you want to have a novel spring from your loss, then don’t nail the story closed.
Stick… It’s that Ryan is closing the book on the relationship with Emily. It’s like turning the corner. You can now see things in a “past” relationship sort of way. The relationship is dead…. and so now you can write about it with a different perspective.
Dada… glad you said it… And I knew that about you…. the nuts part. I’m sure there are places in SF that completely remind you of that someone. Do you avoid them? Luckily it’s a big city.
Chug… that’s a nice story… a happy ending… they’re still together, yah?
E/O… yah… it’s funny how anger and sadness spurs action. Some of my sketchbooks are kinda poisonous… and I can’t stand to look at certain ones.
brig… Nice point. Writing about a relationship from a 3rd person perspective will make it a lot less painful. Not to mention fun by adding in crazy new details ala artistic literary license.

Shouldn’t Emily’s book be shaped like a coffin?
You really never know– 6 months after my mom told my dad she never wanted to see him again, he decided to ask her out on a date anyway. And boy am I glad he did!
All the best novels and songs spring from personal loss.

Joe… metaphorically…
Pete… Watterson got there first.
