HM #18
(Please read the comic first.)
I wrote the dialog for this comic weeks ago, and the comic has also been finished for a while. Then some hours ago, lying in bed unable to sleep, I started questioning Lena’s text in the last panel. I haven’t found a way to say what she’s supposed to say that avoids a potential misinterpretation though.
So now I’m posting it the way it is, hoping that I’m just over-analyzing words.
I do! I know where Sri Lanka is! Well in fact I originally knew where Ceylon is 🙂
Ken took his phone to the bathroom pretending having diarrhea?! And she still borrowed it? That I call a good start.
I must be really naive but I can’t figure out which way you could misinterpret Lena’s words. Well, unless I am actually misinterpreting them and being unable to figuring out the real intend… oh, sh*t.
Ken looks really cute when embarrassed 🙂
I was worried it might look like Lena thought of the first date as a “test” that allowed her to decide if Ken deserved a second date. I don’t think that would be a good way to start a relationship, and (in my mind) she doesn’t mean it that way. She’s just compressing a lot of thoughts and feelings into something that fits into a word balloon.
Ok. You got it right then, that last panel feels exactly like you wanted to.
