Good morning, my dear hostiles. Please do not come after my blood until you see where this goes on Friday.

Maybe I'm alone, but it already sounds a bit hopeful to me. :)

I can't believe this is the penultimate comic.

I'm not sure what's to be nervous about. I seem to remember you telling us months ago that they aren't breaking up. Do I misremember, or am I just bad at suspension of disbelief?

[crotalus_atrox]

Yep, when asked, I'd always say that this comic doesn't end with Fox and Collin breaking up.

And despite knowing this, I am still on the edge of my seat about Friday.

The suspense is killing me. In a good way.

Admittedly, I started to get nervous about the last comic when you said its soundtract song of choice was by the mountain goats. Good band, heartbreaking a lot of the time.

But seeing as i for one have had rich enjoyment for the last however many years of this comic, i can't imagine one strip changing my opinion. You rock, pretty lady. You rock hard core.

[crotalus_atrox]

Well, that's really why I chose them. :)

Thanks so much! I'm glad to hear you feel that way.

awwwwww

I actually think I like it that you're not wrapping up the story in all rainbows and unicornfarts. Life isn't like wonderful, and sometimes art needs to reflect that.

*Nod* thank you. I definitely don't want a fake, saccharine ending. It wouldn't have felt real.

[starkravingsane]

Oh, I don't know if that's true. After all, the ending of BMB left me feeling all warm and fuzzy, and it still felt plenty real.

Unless you mean in this particular context. In that case, wahey.

Cannot wait until Friday. *Dashes off to read OPB*
