*gasp* First comment? Moi? Amazing.
Parker’s face in the last panel is PERFECT.
It looks great in black and white, too! No stress!
April 25th, 2007 at 8:11 pm
… how is it that this was posted four hours ago and I’m still the first one to comment? 0.o *is still in shock*
April 25th, 2007 at 8:12 pm
It was actually posted 25 minutes ago! Pacific time.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:12 pm
Ah. Heh. Okay. Not as scary. I’m on the East Coast.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:14 pm
That was great! Poor Guy, alone in a room with three equally scary women, at least two of whom are ticked off at him…
April 25th, 2007 at 8:16 pm
Bummer, hope he is nicer than they are implying.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:19 pm
Guy’s nice. He was trapped in impossible situation, as he explained on Page 17.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:33 pm
Bob, I’m pretty sure he meant Janny and Stasia’s father, not Guy. Guy seems to be nice anyways.
By the way, I must say, this is an amazing graphic novel going on and I fully support your efforts into making it a movie.
Haha, and the final three panels are just supreme.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:41 pm
Ah, thanks, Billy, you’re almost certainly right about that (Stasia’s dad, not Guy). I’m used to everyone talking about how horrible Guy is lately.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:53 pm
Enraged Parker is so adorable! xD
April 25th, 2007 at 8:59 pm
It’s not so much that we’ve thought that Guy was horrible, as much as I think we’ve hoped that he was equal to the situation, able to think on his feet, and aware of the need for intense sensitivity. But, given his lack of a girlfriend for two years, that was probably an unrealistic expectation.
The question now is, is he going to try to be a positive factor in this mess, or just have things happen to him?
And is Parker upset for herself or Stacia?
April 25th, 2007 at 9:09 pm
” . . . aware of the need for intense sensitivity.”
I see absolutely no reason for him to be aware of a need for “intense sensitivity.” Something insanely crazy happened and it’s more just laughable than anything else. Stasia’s the one who put herself in that mess and who put him in the mess as well, and it’s just a completely crazy situation.
“And is Parker upset for herself or Stacia?”
It’s Stasia, not Stacia, and she’s just upset in general that Guy married the person she loves by using her sign.
April 25th, 2007 at 9:19 pm
Angry Parker is…Angry.
You can see the barely contained violence in her expression in the last panel.
April 25th, 2007 at 9:26 pm
Guy allowed himself to be part of the mess: he had a choice. He’s not blameless. That said, I’m feeling very sorry for him now with an enraged Parker in the room
I am definitely getting the impression already that Stasia’s Dad is one of those totally dominant control freak Fathers who like to regulate every aspect of their daughter’s lives – especially the career. Maybe this is one reason why Stasia so desperately wanted to be married – as an escape.
I also get the feeling that Guy needs to go into hiding, poor guy
Stasia’s Dad AND Parker both mad at him… 
April 25th, 2007 at 9:34 pm
“Guy allowed himself to be part of the mess: he had a choice. He’s not blameless.”
Yes, but it’s also not a BAD thing in general for him. From his point of view, he basically won the lottery. He’s a smart guy and realizes that he’s probably set for life after this either way, from a book deal at the very least. And even though he’s not “blameless,” Stasia also obviously got herself into this mess on her own, so he can’t feel too bad for her. I’d be GIDDY if I was Guy, and Stasia’s hotness would have little to do with that. It certainly wouldn’t be a time in his mind to be thinking about how he has to be intensely sensitive. More like “Don’t burst out laughing.” Having said that, though, he’s still extremely nervous to be in this situation. But also happy with it overall, unlike Stasia.
April 25th, 2007 at 9:45 pm
Heh. All good points, Bobby. He can’t really lose in a lot of ways. Providing he stays out of Parker’s reach, at least
April 25th, 2007 at 9:51 pm
I feel so bad for Guy right now.
April 25th, 2007 at 9:55 pm
Guy should stay very close to Stasia if Parker can’t do much to him in front of her.. XD
But then again, he should better run if her dad comes O_o the guy sounds a bit scary.
I wonder if these phonecalls were all from him, or who else knows the number..? Hmm.
April 25th, 2007 at 11:12 pm
Here comes the pain.
April 25th, 2007 at 11:18 pm
Wow. So this seems to be the “lets give Guy a hard time” comment thread.
Poor dude.
April 25th, 2007 at 11:41 pm
… For the record? I’m not taking part in any Guy-Picking-On-Of.
… That sounded really akward. XD
Pssh. Hell, if I were him [... wrong gender, for starters. ^^;;], I’d be laughing. Like, nervous, anxiety-induced ‘Sweet Neitzsche I’m about to die’ laughter, not ‘haha’ funny laughter. Dx
April 26th, 2007 at 12:57 am
“I’d be GIDDY if I was Guy, and Stasia’s hotness would have little to do with that.”
Shame on you Bobby for being unfaithful to Parker! :p :p
Eisu’s black and white is nice and crisp.
Looking forward to seeing the colour too, though. 
April 26th, 2007 at 2:17 am
Parker SMASH!
Urgh.
April 26th, 2007 at 4:36 am
I’d be giggling like an excited Japanese schoolgirl, and having perverted thoughts, as everyone would well know if they ever read any of my comments on Last Blood.
April 26th, 2007 at 5:27 am
I don’t think I like Parker.
April 26th, 2007 at 8:48 am
Thought I’d finally comment. Its been really good, but this was probably the worst page so far. The split in focus is a little awkward (admittedly, that will work better in a finished format – but we’re all experiencing this one page at a time – and at that level this page falls a little flat).
Guy’s line also seems out of place. “Why did you pinch me” is so formal. I feel like I’m reading Nukees. Most people would say “Why’d you pinch me?”. The fuller sentence could be made to work, but it would need lettering emphasis… “[b]Why[/b] did you [b]pinch[/b] me?”, by emphasizing ‘why’, would make the lack of a contraction more natural. Of course, that might be there with the full color tomorrow. (I’ve certainly noticed bolded text in past strips, and there is none in this strip yet).
April 26th, 2007 at 9:34 am
OK, I think I can now adjust my expectations a bit. It sounds as though the idea is that since Stasia is a celebrity and rich and she just made a major error, it is all her fault and Guy would be right to try to extract as much blood from her as possible. And if that involves writing a book that would aid in the destruction of her public image and career, so be it. I was confused, because the initial pages seemed intended to make the readers sympathetic towards her, and I assumed that all other characters should be judged according to how they treated her.
But to Parker, she is apparently just a symbol – a thing to be lusted over and jealous over. Not a living, breathing, woman who is seeing her life shatter before her eyes, apparently married to a man who has no feelings for her whatsoever.
April 26th, 2007 at 9:37 am
poor guy, that guy (is).
But his benefits wouldn’t be bad if get through it all.
April 26th, 2007 at 10:37 am
Squirrelloid: I absolutely hate bold and use it as little as possible, especially in the manner you describe, with using it for two words in a short sentence. I like to let the readers figure out how the line was said for themselves based on the context of the situation, which was obvious here (he just got pinched and he’s in pain), as you pointed out.
Russ: You make everything way too dramatic and important. It’s nowhere near that absolute of a situation, with Guy crazily wanting to DESTROY STASIA AND PROFIT FROM IT. No, not at all. It’s simply a case of, “If I ever very badly need money, I’m sure I could make a lot from this situation,” and that does not need to involve further destroying Stasia’s public image.
“I was confused, because the initial pages seemed intended to make the readers sympathetic towards her, and I assumed that all other characters should be judged according to how they treated her.”
Zero characters have treated Stasia poorly so far, including Guy. Wondering aloud about if they’ll have sex on their wedding night is NOT treating her badly.
“But to Parker, she is apparently just a symbol – a thing to be lusted over and jealous over. Not a living, breathing, woman who is seeing her life shatter before her eyes, apparently married to a man who has no feelings for her whatsoever.”
That’s all definitely wrong and slightly scary. Where has Parker acted in any way like she doesn’t care about Stasia??? Or where have I said anything like that in the comments even??? All I’ve said is that Parker realizes that she’d never have a chance of marrying Stasia, mostly because she knows Stasia is not gay and just because Parker actually has a brain in her head and knows that the odds of that happening are a trillion to one. She cares a lot about Stasia, though, and has done nothing to show otherwise.
April 26th, 2007 at 11:27 am
I have no doubt that I am over analyzing this. It’s what I am used to doing, and you really don’t need to keep defending yourself here. If I didn’t enjoy the comic I wouldn’t keep comic back and reading it. This is a new forum, which has not yet established a clear character as yet, but I am guessing that you might enjoy the comments more if you just sat back and watched us speculate and argue and get things wrong and be surprised when we find out how things really are. I don’t see the value of arguing with people who enjoy your work, just because we have developed incorrect ideas of what is going to happen. You won’t be able to do that in the movie version, after all.
April 26th, 2007 at 12:08 pm
“. . . you really don’t need to keep defending yourself here.”
And you really don’t need to keep saying that I’m defending myself. I’m not defending myself AT ALL. I’m simply talking about the comic and saying what the real situation is. When people read you saying that all the characters are horrible people basically and you imply that that was my intent, I’m going to say what the reality is, and that’s NO BIG DEAL.
“I don’t see the value of arguing with people who enjoy your work, just because we have developed incorrect ideas of what is going to happen.”
I’m not arguing — I’m correcting. There’s nothing to argue about when I know the actual situation and am stating it.
“You won’t be able to do that in the movie version, after all.”
There’s no need to do it with a movie version, when everyone gets to see the whole thing in one sitting, as opposed to one page at a time over a course of seven or eight months. Also, it’s doubtful that I’ll have much say on the final movie script if it ever gets made, so might as well state my intentions for the story and characters now so we could look back and say, “See? I didn’t want Guy and Parker to be these jerks that they appear to be in this horrible movie!”
April 26th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
Hm…. Parker looks like she’s going to eat or at least rip Guy’s head of any moment now.
April 26th, 2007 at 3:48 pm
…I think Janny knew something like this was going to happen. She’s cool.
April 26th, 2007 at 5:26 pm
Duuuuuude. Janny is so psychotic it’s funny.
*hugs and squishes Parker* She’s so adorable when she’s angry!
April 26th, 2007 at 5:57 pm
My first comment, but I’ve been reading for a long time. I LOVE this comic. It’s so cool! And reading the forums is sometimes just as amusing. lol
And I really like this page. The “split focus” thing works really well in my opinion. And I still love all the characters in this comic, esp Guy, he seems awesome (I dont know why ppl stopped liking him or watever). except the dad, im scared of him
April 26th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
Where did the design on Parker’s shirt go?
April 26th, 2007 at 7:57 pm
There’s no doubt I like the comic – I’m reading it, aren’t I?
But really, I don’t understand why there are so many explanations being handed out. The work is supposed to stand on it’s own, without help from any other source.
The author seems to think the fans are drawing incorrect conclusions, and keeps trying to clarify things. I get it – it’s your baby, you want people to see it the way you see it. Sorry, but that’s just not going to happen! People are individual, and react differently even though they may see the same thing. Let everyone speculate and form their own opinions, rather than trying to have them see it your way. Constantly arguing against fans’ opinions is pointless, and makes your readers feel like they’re stupid for reacting their own way to the information they have. And remember: fan opinion is, like stories, dynamic. Just because people feel one day today doesn’t mean their feelings will be the same as the story unravels and they gather more information. Just let it be!
April 26th, 2007 at 8:03 pm
COLOUR!!! WOO!
April 26th, 2007 at 9:22 pm
I. Love. Guy.
End. of. Story.
April 26th, 2007 at 9:24 pm
Oh also PS- I don’t think that not using contractions in sentences are so weird. I mean, I often say “I am” or “I would” etc. If I was royally freaked out, I would probably drop my contractions also.
OMG DOES THIS MEAN GUY AND I ARE SOULMATES.
Lulz.
April 26th, 2007 at 9:26 pm
Bobby, just keep in mind one thing… Over the years people have argued about why Frost chose to repeat the words “And miles to go before I sleep.” Was the character referring to an actual distance, a spiritual void that he had to overcome, depression, a difficult task. Academics have fistfights over these words…
A reporter once asked Frost, he shrugged his shoulders and replied “I just liked the way it sounded.”
Cork is right, everyone will take something slightly different from the story, Oh well…
April 26th, 2007 at 9:28 pm
As a writer myself (Albeit an amateur one) I know where Bobby’s coming from. He loves his characters and wants us to love them and understand them, too. It’s totally natural
***
Page looks great in colour, BTW
April 26th, 2007 at 10:09 pm
still don’t get why she had to pinch him…
April 26th, 2007 at 11:01 pm
Man, that must have been some pinch for the text to be so large!
April 26th, 2007 at 11:17 pm
I’ve read every Marry Me, and this is the first time that I even looked at the comments (and it was only because I was killing time before I had to go to class). So, I don’t understand why everyone seems to be getting upset, or at least a little irritated that so much is being explained in these very comments. If you aren’t happy with the responses that these comments give, how about you don’t read them?
I had never heard any of these speculations about what is really happening, or what’s going to happen and I was perfectly content. I just don’t understand why some people are making a big deal out of Bobby Crosby explaining things about his comic in his forum. Don’t read it if you don’t like it, it’s simple.
That’s all I wanted to say, please don’t be angry about my conclusions, that’s just how I see it.
April 26th, 2007 at 11:30 pm
“I get it – it’s your baby, you want people to see it the way you see it.”
It has absolutely nothing to do with that. I also clarify everything for “Last Blood,” a book that I hate in almost every way. When people assume incorrect things and even openly state what they think my intentions were for certain things and get those wrong, I’m simply going to correct that and I fail to see your problem with that.
“Let everyone speculate and form their own opinions, rather than trying to have them see it your way.”
I don’t give a crap how they see it — I just want my intent to be known when someone speculates on my intent incorrectly, as Russ did when he said, “It sounds as though the idea is that [all the characters are evil jerks].” No, that wasn’t the idea, so I said so.
“Constantly arguing against fans’ opinions is pointless, and makes your readers feel like they’re stupid for reacting their own way to the information they have.”
Again, there are ZERO arguments. How could there be an argument when one of us is writing it and knows exactly what’s going on and the others are just guessing? I’m just clarifying things. Also, what’s REALLY pointless is you insanely saying that it’s pointless for me to do so.
“Just let it be!”
From now on I’ll just be deleting posts like yours. They’re so annoying. Stop complaining about me telling someone what my intent was when someone says my intent was that all the characters are horrible. Absolutely nothing wrong with that and I like to respond to what almost everyone says about anything. That’s my style. Such a waste of time to complain about that like you’re doing.
April 27th, 2007 at 3:28 am
Mr Crosby, from the perspective of a fellow writer, I believe you have captured all of your characters personalities and projected them into the format expertly. They all have motivations and in the twenty-one pages so far they have all acted within the parameters you set in each of their introductions. I have laughed when you were obviously trying to be comedic, and the characters are otherwise believable, even if the circumstances are fantastic. A story is an emotional journey, not a rote textbook list of facts. Your story offers more than enough for me to be able to engage with it. I am looking forward to seeing the film.
April 27th, 2007 at 3:42 am
Thanks to Anna and Jonathan!
April 27th, 2007 at 7:33 am
If I were Guy, I would aisle myself slowly to the back for 15 minutes, and listen to everyone else blow a fuse.
I would do that, so I could gain some perspective.
With the accusations flung at him, the now rising stress levels of his would-be-could-be partner, the borderline violent best-friend.. I can see that as the only feasable option.
Of course, who am I kidding? It doesn’t work like that.
April 27th, 2007 at 8:39 am
Okay, some thoughts I had whilst reading through the comments as I read through the archives for the second time…
The joke about Stasia’s exes- or should that be ex’s?- all having something “else”, other than their success, in common was, I thought, obvious. They’re all her exes; that is to say, none of them are with her any longer.
Oh, and all these people going on about how not everything is perfect… There are two artists- one script-writer, and one visual artist- working on this; trying to get each update done in an average of approximately three days. It’s not going to be perfect; and the reason I stick with writing and drawing seperately is because I KNOW how difficult it is to get a scene out of your head and into a comic. I tried it. It was hard. I stopped.
My point is that imperfections are to be expected; and the incredibly low amount of them in this only increases my respect for the two artists at work here.
Which brings me to something which has been bugging me… Where on earth do I know Bobby Crosby from? The name is so- painfully- familiar…
Anyway! I feel that Stacia and Janny’s father is probably the type to be very very scary to anyone who harms his little girls- but loves them to bits really. I may be wrong, but I can’t WAIT to find out!
With all that said… This comic blows my mind. The art and scripting is fantastic; and both create fantastic depth of character. Now all I need to do is create clones of Bobby and Eisu- ohhhh, lots of clones- so I don’t have to wait to read more! …But that’d take half the fun from it.
Fantastic work. ^_^
April 27th, 2007 at 9:00 am
Not to start a fight or anything, but I just want to let it be known that I’m on Bobby’s side. He’s not “arguing” with anyone. He’s stating facts about the story.
Yes, we’ll all see it different ways, but because we’re only looking at a page at a time, character motivation and depth can be misleading occasionally. He’s just trying to let us know “No, they’re NOT bad people. Give it time and please don’t accuse them of being such”. I would, too, if people said those things about my characters.
If after reading the whole thing Russ and others still feel that way, then that’s totally fine; Bobby, nor anyone else, can argue about that – it’s your opinion at that point. But at this early on in the game, where everything is still obscure, he just wants to make sure we don’t stray too far and read too deep into every little thing, twisting character’s into something they’re not.
Anyway, I hope everyone can just sit back and enjoy the comic. That’s not to say you shouldn’t make speculations and then be proven wrong later (by either Bobby or the comic – because both ways are valid). But try to just chill out a little. Instead of us getting mad at Bobby, we should be thrilled that he reads these comments and replies to all of us. God knows it isn’t easy.
April 27th, 2007 at 9:32 am
Hi, I recently started reading this comic…well actualy from the first page and I really like the story. It’s fairly original and could be a really good and unique romantic comedy.
I’m still a student for now and starting film school in september but if nobody else give you a movie deal, I would love to make this into a movie somewhere down the line 5 or more years from now…more is better cuz then I’ll have contacts and some funding.
April 27th, 2007 at 11:17 am
Bobby: No, thank YOU.
And not to point out the obvious, but I’d hate to be remiss: Eisu rocks!
April 27th, 2007 at 12:33 pm
Humans are the product of their experiences and are often contradictory.
Take Guy for example. His best friend is a homosexual and yet one of his two stated reasons for marrying Stasia is to avoid being labeled a homosexual himself. So on the one hand, he accepts homosexuality enough to have a gay best friend. On the other hand, he attaches enough stigma to homosexuality that he will go to rather extreme lengths to avoid being labeled a homosexual.
So far, we have seen roughly 3-4 hours of these characters lives and 25% of the story. Guessing their motives and what is “in-charcter” for them is rather silly at this stage.
April 27th, 2007 at 1:14 pm
“OW! Why did you pinch me?!”
“Because I can’t do anything worse with Stasia in the room!”
*Dying of laughter and too much Parker-♥ing*
Eisu, Bobby, keep it up! You two are AWESOME!
(P.S.: Eisu, great update on NPP! I didn’t think Maureen was daydreaming at first. XD)
April 27th, 2007 at 1:57 pm
Another great page. Parker’s angry face in the last panel makes me scared for Guy’s health and I wonder what Stasia’s dad was donig in Japan. Also, just to put in my two cents, I love that Bobby comments on the pages and corrects wrong assumptions, it’s one of the things that make me like webcomics so much: hearing from the creators. The forums that don’t have author input in the discussion aren’t as interesting IMO.
April 27th, 2007 at 4:43 pm
@Mike: Being labelled as homosexual greatly decreases the chances of a woman being attracted to you for hotness and increases chances of becoming only “best buddy”. A combination no hetero single man would like… so it has nothing to do with stigma.
April 27th, 2007 at 6:02 pm
Dragonmage knows what he/she is talking about, Bobby and Eisu. It’s cool to have conversations with the writer and artist^^
April 27th, 2007 at 11:45 pm
Where do you know Bobby Crosby from? It could be one of his other running comics: +EV, or Last Blood . . . it could be from his old comic Pupkin . . . or it could be from his namesake in the comic Superosity?
Just guesses. There’s a couple other places his name has appeared before on the Internet as well. He seems to get around.
April 28th, 2007 at 12:33 am
I’m sorry that my input, with which I tried to show no malevolent intent nor insult, is not to your liking.
It’s too bad, as I enjoyed the comic, and the direction it was going in. I guess I’m alone in my belief that art isn’t only for the artist. You’ll need to censor me no longer. I’ll say no more and read no more.
April 28th, 2007 at 12:49 am
“I’m sorry that my input, with which I tried to show no malevolent intent nor insult, is not to your liking.”
I agree that there was no malevolent intent or insult — it was just extremely annoying and pointless and a big waste of time.
“It’s too bad, as I enjoyed the comic, and the direction it was going in . . . I’ll read no more.”
Yes, that makes a lot of sense! You tell me to stop clarifying things about my comic when people incorrectly say what my intention for it was, then I tell you that what you said is pointless and annoying, and then you never read it again because you’re so hurt by that, even though you were enjoying it. Are you two years old? Bye!
“You’ll need to censor me no longer.”
I never censored you. I only said that I’d delete annoying posts like your previous one in the future, which crazily tell me to stop talking about my comic and clarifying my intent when people speculate incorrectly on that and could give other readers a very wrong idea about the characters.
April 28th, 2007 at 3:27 am
Keep up the good work! This comic has been really entertaining so far!
April 28th, 2007 at 5:05 am
Wow, Bobby. That seemed a little harsh. ._.; I understand why you’re annoyed, though.
April 28th, 2007 at 5:12 am
*Hides in a corner from any comment not directly about the story*
Oh, except to say that I like actually being able to talk to Bobby and Eisu. And to call them Bobby and Eisu. I’m a fan of the webcomic College Roomies From Hell, and anyone who frequents the forums there positively loves when Maritza (the authoress) comments. I can’t imagine why that would ever be considered bad!
To Eisu: I love your artwork, especially the expressive faces. I’ve not picked up pen and paper for several years, but this comic inspired me to start drawing again. (Perhaps to start a webcomic of my own! …After I graduate and get a real job. *sigh*)
But where did the Stasia design on Parker’s shirt go?
April 28th, 2007 at 8:01 am
Wow, Tiami, I didn’t even notice it was missing. o_o; You have good eyes. …Where [i]did[/i] it go, Eisu? ._.
(I did notice that Janny’s eyes seem to change from brown to blue, if it’s okay to say.)
April 28th, 2007 at 8:02 am
Psh. I wanted “did” to be in italics… Evil code not working. *Pouts in a corner*
April 28th, 2007 at 8:09 am
(Oh, and I checked because I was curious… It seems that we haven’t seent he Stasia design on the shirt sicne Parker changed pants, and that was waaay back on page 16. XD Did she change her shirt too?)
April 28th, 2007 at 8:27 am
I don’t think there’s anything better than reading comments posted by an author. Specially if he is clarifying things!
Firstly, I’m a writer myself, and I know first-hand what it means to have written ‘b’ and everyone goes saying ‘d’, or even worse ‘z’. It is particularly annoying when the text supports none of those opinions and even contradicts them.
Secondly, assuming or predicting about the characters and their situations should always happen on a second thought – the first one should focus only on enjoying what is being read/seen.
Finally, great job to you both – Bobby and Eisu!
PS: You hate Last Blood?!!!!!
April 28th, 2007 at 9:24 am
So nice to be ignored…
April 28th, 2007 at 10:06 am
I love how eisu varies line weight, and also the expressive faces ^^
I think it’s a good thing that the authors talk to the fans and join the discussion, although they made the actual comic, people perceive things in different manners, and thats the thing about great comics, they can be perceived in several ways. You shouldn’t worry about that, bobby
April 28th, 2007 at 10:33 am
I’d just like to say great work to the both of you on this Webcomic. It is without doubt the most cleanly drawn and easy on the eyes I have yet seen, and that is really saying something. Good job.
April 28th, 2007 at 10:57 am
Hey, all!
First time poster here, so I’m going to make it quick:
Great comic, great idea! I love it so far! Great drawing and colouring!
Keep up the good work!
P.S.: @ Vincent: You should send an e-Mail to the WC creator…I think it’d be more appropriate then to do this in the comments…
April 28th, 2007 at 12:40 pm
Squee.
Parker looks like she’s pouting a little in the first frame she’s in.
She’s so cute! :3

Vincent, there was nothing to respond to, really:
“I’m still a student for now and starting film school in september but if nobody else give you a movie deal, I would love to make this into a movie somewhere down the line 5 or more years from now…more is better cuz then I’ll have contacts and some funding.”
If I’m broke and you’re rich in five years, hopefully you’ll still want to make the movie! It’s a large movie which will need funding from a studio, so it’s not like you or me will be able to decide on these things. I’ll simply need to sell it. It’s not like “Last Blood” where I’ll hopefully get to make it myself soon. And if “Marry Me” is ever made indepedently (almost impossible with its large budget), I’ll be directing it. Glad you’re liking it, though!
“and thats the thing about great comics, they can be perceived in several ways. You shouldn’t worry about that, bobby”
How many times do I have to explain this nonsense? He didn’t simply perceive something wrong about the comic. He perceived/assumed something wrong about my personal intent for the comic, so I clarified that. And how does it possibly show that I’m “worrying” about that to simply clarify that? So annoying, discussions like this.
“PS: You hate Last Blood?!!!!!”
Which I say constantly in the “Last Blood” comments, yes. It should have been a million times better, but oh well. I love “Marry Me,” by the way.
About Parker’s shirt: This happened previously and Eisu decided to go back and add it, which I assume will happen eventually here, but it’s no big deal. I hadn’t noticed Janny’s eyes.

“I hadn’t noticed Janny’s eyes.”
It might just be that the eyes were too small to get the color in or something. It’s not a huge deal, but you can tell if you look closely at the first panel.

Uhh… no… the eyes are too small to get the color in in the first panel… it’s never been brown cos when I color I always refer to the past pages to get colors in… as for Parker’s T-Shirt, that’s my bad, I forgot to add in the Stasia design.

I just wanted to say,
The popstar this is all based on (or at least the name), recently married her bodyguard!!! Wich was by the way in a previous relationship when he first ‘made love’ to her. So that’s way more rude than our Guy. And I thought his thing said about the weddingnight was still verry okay. I mean, who want’s to be married to a man who’s acting to be a gentlemen. Just give me a real guy who is honnest..
I read all the comments on this page because I thought more people would find that funny, but nobody said anything about it yet.

Do you mean the musician named Stasia? I briefly looked up the name “Stasia” years ago when I first named her and found at least one singer who went by the name, but she wasn’t very famous, as far as I could tell. That’s interesting, though. The Stasia in this comic is certainly not based on anyone in real life, though, just to make that clear. Roseanne Barr also married her bodyguard once. It’s a trend! Maybe the Stasia in this story will marry Denny (”cave troll” bodyguard) by the end of the graphic novel.

I tend to defer to the authors, they know what they’re talking about. I don’t understand why others don’t do that. And I don’t like it when anyone says, “the author(s) meant this”, unless that person is referring to something the author(s) has(have) actually said (and was(were) serious about).
