    25 – BFFs

    The conclusion to the epic Franka and Curt storyline where our continous conflict finds a conclusion. Will there be other times when I make him cry? Of course, you cannot stop doing something like that Cold Turkey. But I will promise to try to be a little nicer on the day-to-day.

    And seriously, Genesis Curt? Genesis!?!?! Again, nothing against the creators because there are some heavy-hitters on this one. But at this point I think Curt cannot be real and we live in a simulation. Or at lease this is the sick mind of a creator who decided to draw a weekly comic about comic books. And using me as a mouthpiece is weird and creepy indeed.

    As we continue to welcome new visitors, please do take a moment and subscribe. By subscribing you will receive the comic and the Thursday recommendation every Monday, before everything goes live Tuesday and Thursday. And that is pretty neat!

    Tschüss and thanks for reading,

    Franka

    24 – Schadenfreude

    I started this little storyline so it is only worthy of our dear readership that I continue and finish it, despite some of the hard truths I find within.

    Barbara knows me quite well, and she also knows how closed off I can be. But can you blame me? The world we live in can be mean and its people cruel, so as you go through this thing called life you do develop things to protect yourself. When and where do you find a balance if such a thing even exists? And I talk about this to Barb a lot because as she revealed in that little exchange, she’s a lawyer.

    I think that’s the only fault I can find with her.

    Many people point, incorrectly I believe, that people who like comics are introverts by nature. Yes, we have a lot of introverts who enjoy this medium, but then I will point to all the Comic Con related activities that are quite social in nature and the people who attend them. Those people just go for it and you see the joy in their faces when they can dress up like their favorite character or meet their favorite creator. It’s really incredible to see.

    With that said do I really take glee in the misery of others? No.

    Unless the miserable person is Curt.

    Okay I will stop now.
