Here’s a comic!

Not sure what to say about today’s comic without delving into my anxiety about whether or not I’m dragging out the introduction too long or if the implication that Jimmy is afraid of girls… or is he? (tee, hee!) – might have run it’s course.

Maybe we should focus on that typo in the last panel, eh? Don’t worry. I’ll fix it when I get home.

See, this is what I do: Instead of letting the comic speak for itself, I feel like I have to explain it or position it for you guys in relation to the larger story. I’m never satisfied making a one or two-line quip about the punchline and walking away from the keyboard. I always feel like I owe you guys more than that in the blog, even when I’m shooting myself in the foot by over-explaining it.

I’m excited for Friday’s comic because it will signal the transition into “flashback mode.” We’ll get to hear from Jimmy first-hand what changed him in the girl’s bathroom and I plan on punctuating that transition with a great, big splash image. Single panel, fools! Glorious color! Let’s take the action outside the movie theater, shall we?

Not much more to talk about. This week hasn’t exactly been an improvement over last week. I don’t want to get into it because I don’t want to bore you with my problems. Fortunately, Cami is feeling better (she thanks you for your well-wishes), but, y’know… sometimes life just keeps handing you lemons.

Personally, I’m really looking forward to the crop of new releases this weekend. Push, He’s Just Not That Into You, Fanboys, Pink Panther 2, Coraline… I’d like to see all of these movies.

I don’t know if perhaps my taste in movies has atrophied from lack of nourishment in January, but you wouldn’t run into much resistance if you suggested any of these movies to me.

Push, in particular, I think looks fun even though it’s basically the 2009 version of Jumper.

Okay, the plot is contrived (People with special powers are hunted down to be turned into weapons!) but I like the execution of the powers on display. I also think Chris Evans is a pretty good actor and deserves a break. He can’t be Johnny Storm in those sub-par Fantastic Four movies forever!

So what about you? Is anyone else excited by this week’s releases? Making any plans to see one of the above films? Which one looks best to you, if any? Leave your comments and we’ll discuss it!
