i totally feel this. ive been 5′2 aswell. and probably for the remainder of my life. but thats alright. only sometimes does it hurt. live on the youth.
try being 4′11″ and 3/4 of an inch tall. In 3 years, i still haven’t grown that final 1/4 of an inch to be a full 5′ tall. this comic is totally how my life often is. lol but i use it to my advantage, at concerts i grab a friend’s hand and can get through people more easily to get closer to the stages.
4′9”
I win!
But, yes, being short is awesome. The only setback I can think of is the problem with concerts, but I usually just go to the front, too. Sadly, my boyfriend’s pretty tall, so I have to leave him behind.
I was 4′10″ when I graduated high-school. I hated it, but by the end of my first year at college I was 5′8″… still not super tall, but not super short either - Just kinda average, which just seems super-boring now
Please feel free to boot this comment if it is too much information.
If it’s any consolation…
I grew to nearly 6 feet tall at 10 years old. Kids in my school were totally mean, cruel shits. I am a guy. So, I was really tall at 10, and that meant:
Most boys were too scared to try + beat the crap out of me…big chance of them losing. So, instead, they hit me with a lot of homophobic insults.
So now, I don’t have terror nightmares about getting beat up, but my uneasiness about sex with girlfriends, and questions about orientation can be a real bitch!
Life is fuuuuun.
i find it interesting that you have so many comics about your smallness and you’re 5′2. I’m 5′2 and i’ve never felt especially small but see myself as a pretty average girl height. hmm…
5′10 wait…. what was the question again? Actually I’m in that awkward place. I’m too tall to be cute like that and I’m not tall enough to be an Amazon. So I guess that makes me an Almost Amazon. Oh well.
Add in constantly being fireman-carried at parties by drunk dudes (they get wedgies for their macho display) and still being carded for rated-R movies and you’ve got my 5′1″ life! SHORT POWER!
Small.. you think 5′2 is small… IM FREAKING 5 FOOT ON THE DOT YOU AINT SMALL!

Can’t believe nobody’s pointed out the teeny tiny super guy reference yet.

Is the misspelling of “skinnier” part of the joke?
