apart from this being THE WORST THING i have ever drawn so far (the only context for which is this). I've got no notes so here's something @quatschmachen wrote instead:
I (F, 255) have a friend (M, 414) who has a terrible boyfriend (M, 119), call him Jerk. They broke up three years ago, and I was so happy that this terrible relationship was over... or so I thought.
I decided to come visit my friend, only to find Jerk is there! I have spent the past 3 years shit talking Jerk and affirming to my friend that breaking up was the right decision.
Here is the part where I may have been the asshole. Jerk was serving me tea and pretending to be nice, when I went ahead and vented to him about why he was here and what he was doing. I did not hold back, but honestly, I wanted to make sure my friend wasn't somehow being blackmailed. Me and Jerk ended up in a big fight, and my friend had to separate us. My friend assured me Jerk had apologized but then admitted the words "I'm sorry" did not even occur.
Afterwards I ended up accidentally on purpose breaking Jerk's collar bone... but he deserved it after insulting a literary classic.
AITA?

User987: hold up, the age gap his how much?! problematic from the start. Are you sure your friend isn't taking advantage of the other person?
User69;): This isn't your relationship. I understand being concerned for your friend, but getting into a physical altercation is too much. ESH

eyy its been a hot minute (a year)
i got over some of (but not all of) my block on this comic that's spinning out of control. there should be more i assume but idk when.
Notes below as per usje
blue sky bert deactivated. manly man soother applied.
ben's ISBN shirt is real - i think i first saw it at the U of T bookstore tbh.
Flashbacks take place sometime between October 2019 and March of 2020, I think.
marie's outfit is based on a drawing i did like TEN YEARS AGO if you can believe (thx for fishing that out @celestialily)
FIFO stands for Fly-In-Fly-Out (i.e. oil camp shift work)
i said earlier in the wips about how i like the trope where stoic characters have the same facial expression for everything- I just think it's funny that for Ben his sole expression is ^_^
joel saying "great to have you back home" is referring to ben being on the east coast / in his element, i'm not conflating NL with the Maritimes I promise.
that said I think they know him well enough that they can tell when he's PISSED lol. I feel like Ben tends to mask his anger a lot (which is why I showed his anger in a reflection rather than on his face in part 6 above there.
but yeah the point of this page is kind of. "ben isnt an idiot and he was genuinely mad and everyone knew it". well. everyone except bertie obviously.
ok seriously what questions do we still have to answer and how do i end this comic before the epilogue is longer than the og? i dont knowwwwww! tell meeeeeeee.
