come on lady, we don’t come here for sap!
i kid, i kid… ever plan on moving back to SF? that’s hopefully where me and the lady friend will end up. NYC seems super rad, but man… fuck cold weather.

Aw.
If only you could be in New York and San Francisco at the same time. Maybe if you keep riding your bike with your eyes closed you’ll figure out how.

I like the m mouth and the ~ eyebrow in the last panel.

Further proof that women are hormonal psychos.

Fight a Kangaroo? Its about that Warner Bros. cartoon where the kangaroo escapes from the circus and he’s got boxing gloves on and sylvester thinks its a giant mouse kicking his ass.
At least thats what it would be about if I had made it up as a kid.
Or its about this:

Ah, I just moved too (to SF as it were) and I get nostalgic and homesick a little.
but I love it here and maybe you’ll end up loving NY just as much as SF

My brother made up a song when he was a kid, but it was really just him saying “come on you dirty punk” over and over again.

Did your bike survive the pothole? Did you survive the pothole (relatively unscathed?)

That made me dew up.

laura- I wont ever love NY as much as SF, but I’m definitely more fascinated by NY. But it’s the kind of fascination where once I’ve had enough, I’ll be ready to go back to sleepy san francisco, which has just enough crazy to keep me from being bored, but not as much crazy as NY that just constantly boggles my mind.
mike- both bike and I were fine, it just jostled the boxes off which burst open on the street.
“My brother made up a song when he was a kid, but it was really just him saying “come on you dirty punk” over and over again.”

I got my comics!!! They didn’t look too banged up. I figured that was a “feature.” Kind of like the gimmick covers of comics from the 90’s

I am also gald to hear that Julia and her bike are okay.

I got my makers mark notebook! People took notice in a meeting yesterday. Turned into a classic exchange: “Worse than being an alcoholic, like me.” “You’re not a– wait, is that a bottle of makers?!” “Well, at least he’s not a fukin tool!”
Also, yay for bike. Thinking about it I’m surprised there wasn’t a comic about receiving it from SF. Hehe, via bike-mail.

SF and NY both rock - shame they’re so far apart. Though SF is top in my book (I’m not moving).
Glad to hear you’re enjoying it now though. When I moved to London it was a full year before I really began to enjoy it (beyond the first month honeymoon when I got myself into even more debt).

And I’ll be you’re missing the fun of earthquakes (just had a 4.0)

Ah, sentimental. I’m the same, but probably worse, which is why I’ll probably never permanently leave California or the Bay Area.

Haw haw haw!

Bike riding songs are the greatest. I have a bike rap!
You should move back to the city, I rode around all day and it was sunny and warm and breezy. ahhh

Ah, the good old days,when panel borders where drawn with a ruler…
It would be awesome if the crying ballon man came out of nowhere to help you after the bike accident.

Your bout with nostalgia made me wonder if you will continue, over the decades, to draw yourself as an twenty something or will your image slowly age; a la Gasoline Alley.

FIGHT A KANGAROO!

San Francisco is full of the crime and garbage and urine stench and bums and filth. You’re MUCH better off in New York.
September 13th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
mind if my band covers your song?
September 25th, 2008 at 11:14 pm

You should put milk crate on the back of your bike. When I was a poor college student this did wonders for me on grocery shopping day.

{Sigh.} I kind of know the feeling. I really enjoyed college…and saw a lot of Picard star trek while there.
If I watch star trek NG now, I usually have to say: TR, snap out of it! You’re not in your fun college years, anymore. Darn my nostalgia fits.
