Well, if I've programmed this thing correctly, it should load on December 26th. This is my 8th anniversary with my girlfriend, Deb, known in the comic as "Lucy Q". It was 8 years ago today that she asked me out, and, saying yes was the best thing that I ever did. I will letcha in on a lil' secret, only because I know she'll most likely never read this: I was in a bad place when we started going out, and, part of me thought that she would break my heart. Part of me WANTED her to. I won't go into specific detail, but, as I said, I was in a very dark place, and I thought that having my heart broken, as it had been so many times before was something I needed to get off my ass and do something (drastic) that I had been planning to do for a while.
Fuck it, I'll come out and say it - I was seriously contemplating suicide. I ain't proud of it. It was where my head was at back in those days.
It turns out that not only did I NOT get betrayed, but, I have been happier with her than I have ever been with anyone else.
That said, we return to My Own Personal Apocalypse – the closest thing to an autobiographical comic that I've had for a while, despite all the other comics spawned from it.
Over the years, since one of this comic’s original incarnations: Shrimp Fried Riot, I have drawn my cartoon avatar, Octavius, and those closest to me in the fashion of whatever look they were sporting at the time, thus Octavius’ look would change from one strip to the next. Mainly because from one strip to the next could be a timeframe anywhere from 3 weeks to 6 months or longer in between.
So, My Lady, known in the comic as ‘Lucy Q’, had gotten a haircut, like, 3 YEARS ago when this strip was first drawn. Very sexy.
Happy Anniversary to her (and me!) I hope you guys out there in Duckopolis had a Merry Christmas!
