Sourballs Also Vs. Some Obstacles

Who remembered that she had a side job at a video store? WELL: no need to remember this any more. Speculation on what she ultimately did to get fired: wide open.

Bog Demon 2, infamously, has nothing to do with the original Bog Demon, and doesn’t really have bog demons in it. It’s mostly about werewolves.

Excepting Turps I can’t help but feel the sour balls are far more adjusted and functional than the candy heart members.

I think more bvb fans can probably relate to the sourballs’ style of living life right. For whatever that says about us.

Definitely. Once my friend stopped over to borrow some money so she could take the bus, and I gave her some rolls of pennies because it’s all I had.

Yeah, there’s definitely something going on with how I write the Sourballs where all of them, even Turpentine, have a certain…functionalness within chaos. Hell, they’ve managed to keep this band together, and play shows and go on tour and release records.

Also, yup, I find them more relatable than the Candy Hearts in general. Although: I would be lying if I said there wasn’t a lot of me in Honey Hart. I am basically 50/50 Honey and Turpentine.

I think a large part of it is that the Sourballs come across as more honest and true to themselves than the Candy Hearts do (perhaps with the exception of Zero, who’s mysterious and lets us come to our own conclusions for the most part). It doesn’t make them bad people, but it makes them a lot harder to relate to as people.

1. She told a customer what kind of day to have …
2. … after playing the director’s cut of something R- rated with that customer’s minor child in the store …
3. … and her supervisor couldn’t be persuaded about the artistic vision or whatever …
4. … while he was handing her the new corporate polo and visor uniform.

Anyway that is a sweet tarot card t-shirt

All of this seems completely likely!
Also: I own a THE MOON tarot card shirt. It’s pretty great.

The only Tarot shirt you gotta watch out for is THE STAR. If anyone’s wearing that you gotta run in the opposite direction

Bog Demon 2, which takes place in the Ukrainian village of Flowerew. It was the subject of the documentary “Outstanding Horrible Movie”.

You know it!

Secret Art School Millionaire? Intriguing idea for a new strip.
Sadly I knew all too well the hard choice of drinking money versus art supplies.

Secret Art School Millionaire Comics are kinda like Richie Rich — but instead of everything being about ridiculous displays of wealth, it’s about SASM pretending they’re NOT rich while constructing every art project in the most ludicrously expensive way possible. Painting finished with 24K gold foil: “Oh, I peeled that off of some chocolate.” Block of imported fine Italian marble for sculpting: “Oh, yeah, I found that. Found it in the road.”

Kathleen! I spent my morning reading in on your comic and I think it’s pretty much the best thing ever. Can’t wait for the next update!

Yaaaay! So glad you liked it!

In a surprise twist, Turpentine wasn’t fired for anything she did- she was just a victim of downsizing!

And maybe this world’s starting to move into the 21st century, and old-school video stores are disappea— NO. NEVER, I SAY.
