Obviously I don’t actually believe that being a member of social network sites and a having a real life are mutually exclusive realities, but I often feel that in my case (and perhaps our friend Glasses Man’s case) it may actually be true. You see, I don’t really know anyone anymore. The people I do know are generally people I’ve met online and may have met in person at most once or twice, but mostly never at all. As for people I’ve met in real life, they all tend to move elsewhere eventually, perhaps because of my unbearable personality or perhaps some unpleasant smell I emit of which I’m not aware at the moment.
Anyway, I hope you’re enjoying the new comics. We’ve got a quite long one for you next, and it is just the starting chapter of a longer tale. Feedback is appreciated, as always.

Here’s one reader who still appreciates your work! Keep at it!
I have the problem of remembering people’s appearances more definitively by their facebook profile picture than I do the fleeting memories of meeting them IRL. Having animated social friendships on facebook and twitter with those you’ve either despised in the past or only met in the real world in a very limited one-off chance encounter is a strange feeling.
hahahaha
you really made me laugh , when you mention about your unpleasant smell , jaja . You are on the way , first step , admit you have a problem.
Hey thanks you changed my day.. in good way.
