One of those ‘corners’ is coming up very quickly in my life (in terms of finishing my degree and starting a career) and I keep getting the feeling I’m going to miss the turn and run into a wall….
For a comic called squid-row about starving artists…things may be going a bit too well for our Ryan. Nothing like a dose of reality to wake you up. After Randie having drank away their month’s rent (tipping the bartender?…uh…no…maybe giving her the sketch drawing?…uh…definitely no), Ryan’s car may suddenly and most unexpectedly need some untimely worn tire and/or engine overhauls. He’s a struggling artist (writer) and nothing says struggling more than spinning around a promo sign on a hot day in a sweaty squid suit. Except maybe one with a big cut out that shows your face.
stick… I will be the first to say that life has no guarantees, no “for sure”s… nothings except death and taxes (and maybe healthcare)… but Ryan needs some happy time. He’s generally happy anyhow… but the highs are higher when things are going well.
Pete… you know it! It’s the kind of guy he is…. and I know YOU know.
My take is that for those waiting for the other shoe to drop … poor Ryan is already under a pile of them, this *IS* his payback.
His karma tab is paid in advance for quite a while, would just about take a lottery hit to even it out. So he’s due for smooth sailing, for at least a short while.

Ryan is having a “Life is Good” moment.
Chug…. keep yer eyes open… luckily, you can see the turn, right? Good goin’….. yer nearly there!
Denny: Yah. He deserves it, yes?

If ever someone had this coming, it’s Ryan. And you know what he’s going to do with it, too. He’s gonna share! 😀

After being in a squid suit, everything is great.
I’m super excited for Ryan! He deserves some sunshine.
