So, this story is better suited to being posted in chapter form. A lot of the pages don't make sense/aren't very compelling on their own. When even your girlfriend's interest starts waning, you know you've gotta make some changes.
I think after this chapter is wrapped up, I might go back to my original plan of updating as I get whole chapters done, and posting the whole chapter in one update. But there's a poll up above for you to sound off on what you prefer.
I’d like to be mature about this and realize a comic as sequential as this is probably better read in chapters at a time, but spending my unemployed days reading webcomics has destroyed my impulse control. Also your girlfriend is silly, this is as interesting as ever.
Apparently you don’t think they’re very interesting as stand alone, but I quite enjoy them as they are. You’re the boss, though
I think they’re interesting as a whole, but not enough for being the only page for a week.
I actually think Jackie seems like an asshole… Saffron is clearly very busy and Jackie is making no effort to help whatsoever. She seems to take advantage of Saffron a lot, for instance in the punk rock chapter when she expected her to take the time to make outfits without any reimbursment!
I don’t see Saffron as in the wrong at all here
I love this comic! I absolutely adore Jackie! I’ve been a devout reader since day one, especially after Yu+Me ended (absolutely amazing btw; I even got my husband to read it all in one sitting and he normally doesn’t care for webcomics). I look forward to the update every Monday! It’s what gets me up in the morning! I agree with JfC, your girlfriend is just silly. ^.^
Wait, Saffron seems like an asshole? I’ve wanted to slap Jackie the last couple of pages. I mean, I’m kind of lazy and annoying when under pressure, too, but letting your roommate do all the housework and neglect your pet are really not OK.
It’s Saffron’s cat and Saffron’s laundry, though.
I’d say Jackie comes off as the asshole here!
Everyone is an asshole.
Hm, Ok then.
When my ex left me, it was the week where I was supposed to do the housework (my roommates and I took weekly turns cleaning our huge appartment… no woder it never worked), I just curled up in a ball in my room and didnt do it… that was kinda assholeish, too, but they never called me out on it (probably because our breakup was audible all over the house).
Unrelated, but my favorite part of this page is how Jackie’s boobs rest on the bar while she’s sitting there. I always rest mine on the table and I never realize I’m doing it until somebody points it out. They’re heavy!
That kind of comment is always related.
Oh, it’s *that* guy. This will only end badly.
Weird question. Is Jackie’s ex black or does he just have an awful spray-tan? The coloring of the comic makes it difficult to tell. I think the latter would make him seem more like a total douche-nozzle than the former obviously.
Saffron’s cat? I thought Mr. Feet was THEIR cat. Jackie *is* kind of a total bitch. I like her character that way, though as I think I mentioned before. It is fun to have a less-than-perfect lead character. Saffron is not in the wrong for not wanting to take care of Jackie through EVERY ONE of her pity parties.
