The Dumbing Down of Love
It’s strange, but drawing like a little kid (as i had to do in this strip) was actually almost harder than doing a normal strip…

HEHEHEHE!!! Ok, Rudy’s a favorite charater now. Right along with the hat.
yay!… I wonder how much destruction would be cast upon the earth if the hat and Rudy teamed up? lol
fun times? /raises bottle of vodka ;D
Haha, sit back with a few of your good friends, drink, and just watch the world ending before your eyes then? I could drink to that. :]
hell ya mate, thats what i’d do. i mean seriously world ending? wtf can you do? lol so instead of panicing just sit back and take a few drinks lol
I like the way you think, my friend. I love the idea of sitting back in some beach chairs, a few beers and good friends and you are all watching an orange sky of doom as you see mushroom clouds and fire out in the distance. All the while, you’re all just chuckling cos your buzzed and don’t give a damn. Also, it would be rather funny if this was all happening in Rudy’s mind, cos it would be drawn much like this strip. lol
i do have agree, that’d be hilarious especially if it were in his head cuz then we’d be all stick figure ish and someone with a comp would prolly watch “stick figures on crack” knowing my friends lol
haha, if you look closely at the “tags” under this comic, I wrote “kids on crack,” as one of them. It’s funny that you said “stick figures on crack” cos pretty much that’s what I was thinking when I drew this.
lol very epic my friend, very epic xD lol
What I find so interesting is you could never find this awnyhree else.

Dawwwwww…rrrrudiger :)
aint he precious? lol (till he destroys the world that is…)
HEHEHEHEHEHEH
“turdyly”
LMAO, joe. Glad someone point that out… that’s probably my favorite part of this whole strip.
OH MY GOD I LOVE THISRudy’s thoughts are the cutest things EVER. The way Cadence looks in the 3rd panel, I am dying laughing-I would so buy a print of just that panel!
I was considering figuring out how to make his explanation of love a print… but I wouldn’t know if it would be best to leave his text or put proper English. If i left his text I may as well just print it as is.You’d really only want that one panel? Is it just her face you find funny or what?
OMG the kid in me LOVES this strip, the triangle boobs, the eyes looking in different places, “turdyly”, this is just A-MAXING! (thats amazing to the MAX)
That’s exactly what I was going for, appealing to the kid in all of us. :D Glad that it came across that way. Also, I think I want to start saying Turdyly to people.
Actually, I think Rudiger is dead-on. Leave it to the little drooling beastie to get it right!
I know right? Well… I’ve pretty much learned that this is true from past experiences. It’s just fascinating that he could read between the lines when Cadence was talking to see the truth…especially since he’s never experienced it.
The sun is sure getting a kick out of it lol
Honestly, if you were the sun, wouldn’t you be doing the same thing? I’m sure he gets his daily dose of jollies just watching people and their stupidness. I mean, seriously, foolish people and their odd little romances! COME ON! …At least, if I was the sun, that’s what I’D be doing. :D
haha agreed! Rudy is so my favorite now! I was hoping for a back story like this for him
Eventually I plan to give every character a back story. I’ll consider doing his like this, now that you’ve mentioned it, that sounds like a really unique fun idea. :D
his view on love seems about right to me…
haha, agreed!Thanks for the comment. :]
