Alright before you say anything, this ain’t one of my favorites. It actually represents a lot of painful things for me personally. So just know that going in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I don’t know what it looks like to you, but this strip was drawn at a time when I was all over the place emotionally, and I overcompensated with a kudzu wall of text. 2010 was when I’d just broken up with a longtime girlfriend. See the bearded dude in the wheelchair at lower right? No, that’s not her, smartass- that’s a real quote, that guy said that to me on the corner of Ponce De Leon and Boulevard. My girlfriend was driving, and I had the window down. Some guy who looked like that in 2007 said to me “Hey,\u00a0you\u00a0sure\u00a0got\u00a0a\u00a0pretty\u00a0wife.\u00a0Can\u00a0I\u00a0borrow\u00a0your\u00a0credit\u00a0card?”<\/em> Verbatim. <\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So yeah, I lament the loss of this particular girlfriend, let’s leave it at that. And by the way; most MARTA stations don’t really look like this anymore. They’ve made a lot of progress since 2010, and many of our crazier transients have died off or mutated into subterranean organisms. I hope that’s not the case with Willie Terry, who is nominally depicted from memory in the last panel. With the bulge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
