I have to say, this page really improved my impression of Guy. Not that it was unfavorable to begin with, but before all we’ve seen is someone reacting to a weird situation, where they are not at their best. And when I read what Guy does for a living it just clicked, with me. It’s a descriptive job and fleshes him out.
I like how he introduced himself first. XD
AND OMFGSJAGFDHJEW WE KNOW HIS LAST NAME!!
Stasia Cooper. Somehow, it doesn’t roll very well, but eh. XD
The name “Cooper” sounds familiar, too. Did we hear it before and I just forgot?
Stasia in the fourth panel kinda bugs me… Her hand seems a little awkward, and if you concentrate only on her face, she looks kind of… dumb-zombie-staring-out-into-space-ish? Other than that, I can’t see a single problem with the page.
And omg, I LOVE Guy’s face in the last panel. XD And I like how we get a view of the wardrobe instead of just wall (2nd panel). (Nice touch, having the book under her bed/dresser/whatever-that-is. :p )
I don’t see how she can offer him a book if she’s been through five psychologists/counsolers already. Shouldn’t she know what he means? XD
it’s so nice to see Guy try to take control of the situation with his guidance counselor know-how instead of letting things happen in the way that this whole situation was set up in the first place.
High School Guidance Counselor….poor guy. Married, Pinched, confused and now probably unemployed. I just KNOW someone in the Teacher’s lounge is gonna find it inappropriate that the guidance counselor just married a teen idol who was half dressed and did so on a whim.
Guy: “I really think you need to look at your behavior in class and think about what it means for future career choices.”
Student: “Whoa, whoa, whoa. You’re gonna give me advice on the future and you married WHO?!”
I think it’s funny that the first thing that came to her mind was to give him a potentially wonky autobiography….instead of spending a few minutes telling him about herself.
(Umm..sorry.. but what EXACTLY is a Highschool Guidance Counselor? I mean, I have a small idea, but since we don’t have highschools around here, I’m not sure xP)
Is it just me, or does Guy look more and more manly in each panel? XD
And.. if the SECOND autobiography is -mostly- accurate, what was the first one?
A high school guidance counselor is pretty much what it sounds like. They’re people hired by the school (high school kids are like, what 14-18 in age) to be available to give kids advice/counseling if they need it. A lot of times they also fill in the role of helping teens look at colleges.
Guy is ok though. I just hope he leaves, thus forcing her to be less vapid, blah, blah, but considering they’ve known each other for all a half-hour, this might take a while.
Stasia’s just graduated from college (see page 3 entry comment). This puts her at about 22 or 23. People typically graduate HS at 17, 18, or 19. Let’s assume 18. According to one of the earlier comics, she’s been around for at least five years, so she was clearly doing her thing during high school. Let’s say she took a year off in between HS and college to tour or something. That puts her at 19. Four years of of college, +4 so ~23 years old. Maybe even almost 24 if she took a semester or two off to tour. Unless she was 17 or younger when she graduated high school…
And yeah, i agree with Valerie — she has something of a wandering eye in panel 4. It makes her look kind of airheaded, whether or not that’s intended. I really like in panel 3 how the bags under her eyes implies she’s tired of other’s opinions on how she should manage her life. Heck, it’s why she impulsively married him, isn’t it?
—
P.S: Morgil, thanks for spending a few more minutes you’ll never get back on commenting. A bit hypocritical to waste time whining about a waste of time, don’t you think?
Well, Stasia lucked out in getting a guidance counselor for a husband, assuming he’s one who is actually good at his job and not one who just mails it in every day/week/year. (I had both kinds when I was in school.)
I think it very telling that she handed him a book instead of sitting down with her new husband and talking to him. (Be a funny bit if he’s a speed reader and finishes the book in five minutes.)
@Valerie: We don’t have ‘high schools’ here in Germany, but that doesn’t mean school’s over when we get 14! ;P It’s just that elementary school divides in three parts with different names, the first two going until 16 and the last one until you’re 18, and only people graduating from the last school can go to university, so I guess it’s pretty much like a high school. oo We don’t have that kind of counselor, though.
If Guy is a high school counselor, and if this ever comes up, please make the high school Booker T. Washington High School. It was the magnet school I graduated from (yes, I’m a former Tulsan), and it’s really the most cool school in Tulsa. It was recently ranked 58th in the nation, according to a recent Newsweek article. I graduated from there a veritable age ago, but it had the greatest faculty and staff…Guy would fit right in!
“I was at the Dodger game and my brother put up the page for me, which is why there was no title until now.”
Oh, okay. I was wondering about that. XD Ty.
“This “comic” is utterly lame. Thanks for the ten minutes of my life I’ll never get back.”
To each his own. o0 Just go away instead of wasting time and energy reading something you don’t like. And why bother commenting? Surely your fingers aren’t worth it, right?
“@Valerie: We don’t have ‘high schools’ here in Germany, but that doesn’t mean school’s over when we get 14! ;P It’s just that elementary school divides in three parts with different names, the first two going until 16 and the last one until you’re 18, and only people graduating from the last school can go to university, so I guess it’s pretty much like a high school. oo We don’t have that kind of counselor, though.”
Ohhhh. Wow. I feel educated now. XD Thanks!^^
Oh, oh! I wanna know what Parker’s up tooooooo! *Sits and waits for the next update*
lol.. I have no idea what I’d do with a guy like Guy… he’s almost intimidating or just as crazy for playing along.
1st panel she looks ready to be helped and coddled and the like.
4th panel.. she looks truely insane lol!
Whew, yay. I’m still alive! Thought you could get rid of me, huh?
For once, I can relate to Stasia. I don’t like shrink either. Most of them are just a big waste of time (and money). I think it’s an interesting choice to make Guy a high school faculty member… I never would’ve guessed it (I was just wondering WHAT his occupation would be, the other day).
I wonder how long it’s gonna take for him to skim that whole book.
Love his expression in the final panel, btw. It’s pretty much this: -___-
“Stasia’s just graduated from college (see page 3 entry comment). This puts her at about 22 or 23. People typically graduate HS at 17, 18, or 19. Let’s assume 18. According to one of the earlier comics, she’s been around for at least five years, so she was clearly doing her thing during high school. Let’s say she took a year off in between HS and college to tour or something. That puts her at 19. Four years of of college, +4 so ~23 years old. Maybe even almost 24 if she took a semester or two off to tour. Unless she was 17 or younger when she graduated high school…”
Or you could just read Page 13, where she says she’s 24 –
“Thanks for the ten minutes of my life I’ll never get back.”
Gramatically incorrect, luv. It would be ‘Thanks for [providing the content that wasted] ten minutes of my life that I’ll never get back’. As far as I know, Bobby and Eisu did not give birth to you and/or the human race, and therefore did not provide the ten minutes that you will never get back. They also did not make you waste it.
This will be a very nice romantic com. You have most of the ingredients right. But you have come along way in a short time, I hope you have time to develop Guy as character a bit more. The “I’m a counsler” came very abrupt..
What’s hilarious to me is that handing him an autobiography is exactly what I would have done. I mean, all the information’s right there, right? And mostly accurate, at that! It’s so efficient! Sometimes I find it hard not to point to my C.V. during job interviews.
Heh, why do I assume that she’s never read it all yet, let alone actually written it herself?
And don’t you have to die once before you can write a second autobiography?
“And don’t you have to die once before you can write a second autobiography?”
…You can’t write something if you’re dead. XD Someone else would have to write it, and then it would be a “biography” instead an “autobiography” because an “autobiography” is about yourself while a “biography” is about someone else.
“This “comic” is utterly lame. Thanks for the ten minutes of my life I’ll never get back.”
It took you ten minutes to read one page? I’m more worried about your reading comprehension skill more than your use of ten minutes.
Bitchyness aside, poor Statia. Either her shrinks weren’t worth the the paper their degrees were printed on, or she is really, really, really flaky. I’m going to go with the former, just because I like her.
But that’s not to say I don’t think she’s a little ditzy.
P.S. Or she just doesn’t take constructive critcisim well *shrug*
I read Shaquille O’Neal’s autobiography almost 15 years ago when he was a rookie in the NBA. If he could write one then, seems like he could have easily written another one by now. A google search reveals that many people have written two autobiographies.
You know, I’m not sure that Stasia is really a ditz, per se. I think she’s definitely quirky, and I think she has a habit of speaking without thinking first, but I’m not sure she’s really dumb or anything. It just seems that way because of the events she’s unthinkingly dropped herself into. I think it’s kinda like any one of us that makes a decision that they’re rethinking 5 minutes later, like buying something kinda expensive that we don’t really need. Thing is, her mistakes are likely to be a good bit larger than ours because she has the money and fame to make the bigger mistakes.
As an afterthought, maybe I totally missed it, but what college did she graduate from?
Actually an autobiography is commonly not written by its subject; most celebrity “autobiographies” are written by what’s known as a ghostwriter, a professional writer who interviews the celebrity, then goes on to actually write the book. Technically, they shouldn’t be called autobiographies at all, but it’s a publishing thing - people like to think that they’re getting the thoughts of the celeb.
And it’s certainly true that the only thing limiting the number of “autobiographies” a person can put out is what the market will bear.
i havent read this comic in a few months and they still havent left the bulding god your comic is going no where fast this comic is starting to fell like a bad hugh grant movie
I don’t mind receiving criticism, matter of fact, I’m the type of person that appreciates it!! It just really kinda irritates me when people open their mouths to put something down, when they have no constructive way to make it better. I know it’s not a debate anymore, but honestly– if it’s so “utterly lame” 1) why do you read it? 2) why is it lame? 3) what would make it, not-lame.. in your eyes? It’s just inane (see definition: adjective 1. lacking sense, significance, or ideas; silly: inane questions.) to blather and offer no solutions.
[/tangent]
Oh! And since I haven’t seen it yet… I ♥ the way Eisu draws glasses!! Before now, I hadn’t figured out a way to imply glasses without sacrificing people’s eyes, especially at all those different angles
Megs: Actually, J says they shouldn’t be in the building anymore, although that’s fairly pointless. True, it’s been 27 pages so far in the same basic location, but I think it works because we’ve jumped around often to different people and places within this very large location (the concert venue). It’s not like it’s been 27 pages of people sitting and talking in a single room. Also, it’s a romantic comedy, not an action adventure film, so it’s more acceptable to not have a million cuts and changes of scenery. Also, a goal of mine is to have “Marry Me” be similar in quality to “Notting Hill,” so his comparison to a Hugh Grant movie is a compliment to me.
About Stasia still wearing the same outfit: This is still only around 30 minutes after they got married. I can say that you’ll see her in a new outfit by Page 35, though, possibly by 31 or 32.
Norgs: Haven’t revealed yet where she graduated from. Not important to the story, so I haven’t even thought of it. Probably somewhere in the Ivy League.
Hmhm, usually, when i try to give some advice concerning a problem to someone, i imply that i myself am not part of the problem. Because if i was then i would usually first try to fix my part before trying to give advice.
And guy is pretty much married to the problem…
Hm… I’m a new reader, and I gotta say, this is one of the best new webcomics out there. I read No Pink Ponies’ first chapters a while back and this is even better, so, um, keep up the good work.
On a more related note, are you people actually debating the ditziness of a pop star? OF COURSE SHE’S A SPAZ! She’s famous!
If Stasia was real, she’d probably be the smartest of the pop stars, even though that’s not saying much. I mean, it’s not like she’s walking around saying “that’s hot” or shaving her head.
Oh, and Jillster, I went to the Number One school two years ago (2nd the year after, 4th this time).:D
“Well, that would certainly give a new meaning to the term “Ghost Writer”.”
XD
“Hmhm, usually, when i try to give some advice concerning a problem to someone, i imply that i myself am not part of the problem. Because if i was then i would usually first try to fix my part before trying to give advice.
And guy is pretty much married to the problem…”
Ouch. XD Well, Guy isn’t really adding onto the problem or anything. He just sorta got caught up in it.
I thought J was here just last month giving some “comments” on the comic? How can he “Not read this comic for a few months”?
Anyways, I was pooped the moment I got home from work yesterday, so I couldn’t work on this comic. I’ll get it done for Thursday’s update (but late cos I gotta go to work now… different timezones and everything)
Eisu, J’s one of those people who has no life so he compensates by using his worthless time to pick on others instead of trying to do something constructive. Basically the older version of the “schoolyard bully.” I think we all know those types. Don’t let it get to you. ;P
Anyway, make sure to get tons of rest. You need to take care of yourself, y’know?
“On a more related note, are you people actually debating the ditziness of a pop star? OF COURSE SHE’S A SPAZ! She’s famous!”
Just because current pop stars follow the trend of their ditziness being directly proportional to their sanity doesn’t mean that she follows that trend. Note that she did just graduate college, and that Bobby says she probly graduated from an Ivy League school. If I’m not mistaken, those are rather difficult to get into.
Heh, well Guy being a guidance counsellor certainly explains why he’s friends with Parker (who RULES by the way! I love her so much. I’ve got a lot of friends like her [though to a less extreme degree] and I’m really more of a Guy. Actually, I kind of hope I end up with a slightly crazy spaz like Parker, but I digress.), and that sort of career’s probably the best match for a popstar like Stasia.
Sorry I haven’t commented for a couple pages, but I had to re-do this fricking research paper AGAIN.
I’m definitely buying the graphic novel when it comes out, and if there’s any chance of me being an extra in this if you’re able to get it made, I would love that so much.
And, if you read the whole thing, I’m not calling her stupid, just acknowledging that pop stars are highly unlikely to survive without becoming a little eccentric.
Heck, I LIKE Stasia. She’s fun, and I DID say that she’s smarter than the pop girl-celebs I’m aware of.
And Ivy League schools are quite easy to get into if you’re insanely rich.
Oh, and J is EXACTLY like a schoolyard bully, except without the thing with the muscles and the ability to affect other people’s lives in any meaningful way.
I usually despise pop stars of any type, even comical representatives of them, but damn! She’s just too damn cute to hate! Crazy, check. Utterly unrepentant, check. That’s awesome
Yeah… not to turn this political Norgs, but you need to look into America’s education system a bit better. Ivy league schools are dominated by rich kids, who are no smarter than kids that didn’t grow up in million dollar families. There are exceptions of course, but for the most part it’s all about who you know, not how you did in high school.
Chapin ol bean, sad to say but that’s they way it is… in an ideal world, your scores, grades, and where you hope to go would go into a computer, along with the schools minimum acceptable standards, and out would pop lists of who goes where untainted by subjective criteria.
But we don’t live in an ideal society Just enjoy the comic
Alright. Call me young and naive, then. Though I’m not sure I need to look into the education system itself so much as I need to look into certain colleges. It may sound a bit crazy, but I think an education major, even one that’s only finished one year of college, has some idea of how the educational system works.
And I would prepare some reply about how Stasia may not have been rich when she applyied, then I realized that someone’s already determined that she likely took a year off to tour before going to college. And that her dad’s flying around in a private jet.
I’m sure Parker would kill to get hold of that advance copy of Stasia’s second autobiography. Especially if Guy could get Stasia to autograph it for her!
“Oh, and J is EXACTLY like a schoolyard bully, except without the thing with the muscles and the ability to affect other people’s lives in any meaningful way.”
XD!! *High-fives* Go get yourself a cookie, you deserve it!
A good critique management is a solid basis for any creational work aiming at wide acceptance. Not all critique has to result in changes but a serious consideration of even the most hostile critique can cause wonders in the final versions. Though i am a great fan of this comic and do rather not agree with what j says, i do understand that it is not my place to respond or even consider his critique. This applies for pretty much the majority of people here i assume. I would not go as far as considering users voicing contrasting opinions as ‘bullies’ or telling them to ‘just go away’, as i believe what truly has the potential of advancing any creational work is in fact the negative critique.
Although i have to admit that if i seriously intended to criticize this comic i would probably try to contact the artist directly, avoiding violation of fan-feelings.
But that is up to everyone to decide by themselves.
After all we grow fond of something not because it may or may not be an exceptional creational work, but because we feel attached to it, slowly converting it into a tiny symbol of our lives and choices. Unfortunately criticizing any work in public not only criticizes the work itself and potentially the creator but also the (wished to be) undeniability of our choices…
Kilroy: We all spell things incorrectly sometimes. It’s called being human. XD
Conscious: Yeah, well. He wasn’t even giving any information on how to improve. I don’t see how that’s supposed to help Bobby and Eisu, no matter how long they try to analyze it. :/
“A good critique management is a solid basis for any creational work aiming at wide acceptance.”
I’m not sure how this somehow became traditional thinking, but I completely disagree with it. Almost all critics are total morons, especially liars like J. I think listening to criticism hurts way more than it helps and that a lot of writers do it way too much, to the detriment of their stories. I trust what I think is best for my stories a million times more than what anyone else suggests.
“Not all critique has to result in changes but a serious consideration of even the most hostile critique can cause wonders in the final versions.”
It usually just makes writers doubt things that they shouldn’t doubt and make changes that they shouldn’t make. And of course it all depends on the specific writer and the specific advice — it’s a case by case basis — and really bad writers can certainly be helped at times by criticism, but I think good writers should mostly ignore any advice they’re given.
“Almost all critics are total morons, especially liars like J.”
Well, so they may be. I didn’t say everyone speaks true and it is of course a matter of judging clear how serious one takes critique.
I personally have found that most critics don’t care about putting things polite but they represent alternate points of views. Something that someone deeply in the process of creating something sometimes loses sight of.
“I think listening to criticism hurts way more than it helps and that a lot of writers do it way too much, to the detriment of their stories.”
Well, how much you accept what a critic says is your’s to decide but you shouldn’t deny critique just because it’s critique. Because then you might wanna ignore every other feedback too…
The problem i see here, the problem I’ve had too, is the pain of getting his most beloved creation criticized. But once i came past it and started judging critique for what it contained and not its intension, i saw the benefits of seeing things through their eyes. They helped me even though most definately didn’t intend to.
“I trust what I think is best for my stories a million times more than what anyone else suggests.”
Well maybe, then you won’t have to fear critique, now do you ^^
“Conscious: Yeah, well. He wasn’t even giving any information on how to improve. I don’t see how that’s supposed to help Bobby and Eisu, no matter how long they try to analyze it. :/”
Heh, yeah, i think i overformulated a bit :P. Sorry about that. Happens sometimes
Man, it looked so much better on the drawing board. Maybe i should now do it like Bobby Crosby and ignore all critique about my critique about the critique of other people about some not so friendly critic’s critique… or something
Btw, yeah, maybe i should have put here that j is maybe not the best example for a critic who’s voice should be deeply considered. I would think about it, then prolly ignore it. But that is what i would do if i was the author, which (as you may or may not have found out by now) i am not
what i intended to say is that even critics like him sometimes hand out ideas hidden inbetween ignorance or even hate and shouldn’t be pushed out just because they criticize. that’s because such people usually try to find something that is somewhere close to true (truth hearts a lot more you know :P).
unfortunately they usually stop doing that once they realize they can’t hurt you.
Grr, why do you even bother having ‘M-W-F” at the top of the page? you havent been able to keep up with that since… ever! Lower the frequency so there can be some consistancy to your updates
“That’s definitely not the case with me. Criticism doesn’t affect me in any way whatsoever.”
Hmhm. No pain is good, no effect is maybe not so good.
On one hand i see a very well developed art work. On the other hand i wouldn’t know how much better it could be if you followed different approaches. But this is going into a direction that I’d rather not dig up.
So i would like to close this discussion down now.
You’re right, I’m wrong. Just keep updating ^^.
“Almost all critics are total morons…but I think good writers should mostly ignore any advice they’re given.”
A critic a person who judges, evaluates, or analyzes literary or artistic works, dramatic or musical performances, or the like– good or bad. You just inadverdantly called “almost all” of your commentors “total morons”…Not cool, Bobby.. not cool.
I think almost everyone in the world is a total moron, but I was only referring to serious critics, either professional critics or people who have review sites, things like that. They’re almost entirely just failed authors themselves and their advice is almost always bad.
I didn’t get so much of a “dumb blonde” vibe from Stasia. She just seemed to get into the spirit of the whole “getting to know each other” business more than she really should have.
Basically, she’s acting like she’s not really letting reason get in the way of staying married.
Which is fine by me. It’s not like love cares much for a neatly-trimmed rationale.
May 21st, 2007 at 5:15 pm
Haha… Didn’t see THAT one coming.
May 21st, 2007 at 5:27 pm
im starting to think he marryed a bit of a dum bum, but hell at least she’s a funny dumb bum
heh heh
May 21st, 2007 at 5:39 pm
lol…she seems so earnest about her book.
May 21st, 2007 at 5:42 pm
I have to say, this page really improved my impression of Guy. Not that it was unfavorable to begin with, but before all we’ve seen is someone reacting to a weird situation, where they are not at their best. And when I read what Guy does for a living it just clicked, with me. It’s a descriptive job and fleshes him out.
May 21st, 2007 at 5:53 pm
I loved Stasia’s expression in the lower left panel.
May 21st, 2007 at 6:20 pm
“Because I’ve been through five shrinks already.”
That explains a lot, actually. XD
I like how he introduced himself first. XD
AND OMFGSJAGFDHJEW WE KNOW HIS LAST NAME!!
Stasia Cooper. Somehow, it doesn’t roll very well, but eh. XD
The name “Cooper” sounds familiar, too. Did we hear it before and I just forgot?
Stasia in the fourth panel kinda bugs me… Her hand seems a little awkward, and if you concentrate only on her face, she looks kind of… dumb-zombie-staring-out-into-space-ish? Other than that, I can’t see a single problem with the page.
And omg, I LOVE Guy’s face in the last panel. XD And I like how we get a view of the wardrobe instead of just wall (2nd panel). (Nice touch, having the book under her bed/dresser/whatever-that-is. :p )
I don’t see how she can offer him a book if she’s been through five psychologists/counsolers already. Shouldn’t she know what he means? XD
May 21st, 2007 at 6:39 pm
Oh, Stasia!
XDD And here I thought nothing would top the ‘I haven’t peed since Thursday’ that Parker pulled.
Highschool Guidance Counselor just fits Guy so well. He just… seems the type, without being too ‘Now hug this stuffed panda’ stereotypical.
♥♥♥♥♥
May 21st, 2007 at 7:29 pm
it’s so nice to see Guy try to take control of the situation with his guidance counselor know-how instead of letting things happen in the way that this whole situation was set up in the first place.
note how i said “try to”
May 21st, 2007 at 7:42 pm
Heheh…a high school guidance counselor…
Somehow…that just fits in a weird way.
I love how Stasia’s 2nd autobiography is “mostly” accurate.
Oh! and now we know Guy’s last name!!!
May 21st, 2007 at 7:43 pm
I love the expression on Guy’s face in the last panel. He’s not my favourite character, but I think he’s really well though up.
Just out of curiosity… What mediums do you use to draw?
May 21st, 2007 at 7:44 pm
MR COOPER! randomass mark curry joke thanks to guy’s last name. He reminds me of a teacher I had/have
May 21st, 2007 at 7:46 pm
Can I ask the age difference between Guy and Stasia?
May 21st, 2007 at 7:58 pm
Why do I think Stasia is a nitwit?
Borys
May 21st, 2007 at 8:34 pm
High School Guidance Counselor….poor guy. Married, Pinched, confused and now probably unemployed. I just KNOW someone in the Teacher’s lounge is gonna find it inappropriate that the guidance counselor just married a teen idol who was half dressed and did so on a whim.
Guy: “I really think you need to look at your behavior in class and think about what it means for future career choices.”
Student: “Whoa, whoa, whoa. You’re gonna give me advice on the future and you married WHO?!”
May 21st, 2007 at 8:44 pm
I still say it’s gonna backfire. Somehow, he will make things worse.
May 21st, 2007 at 9:16 pm
I like his last name. Good, sensible last name. :p
May 21st, 2007 at 9:18 pm
I think it’s funny that the first thing that came to her mind was to give him a potentially wonky autobiography….instead of spending a few minutes telling him about herself.
May 21st, 2007 at 9:27 pm
I love Stasia’s eager “I’ve got an idea” look and the look she has when she says “It’s mostly accurate.” Great job Eisu and Bobby!
May 21st, 2007 at 9:36 pm
(Umm..sorry.. but what EXACTLY is a Highschool Guidance Counselor? I mean, I have a small idea, but since we don’t have highschools around here, I’m not sure xP)
Is it just me, or does Guy look more and more manly in each panel? XD
And.. if the SECOND autobiography is -mostly- accurate, what was the first one?
May 21st, 2007 at 9:54 pm
“I got an advanced copy”
Wow just wow has she finally snapped
May 21st, 2007 at 9:55 pm
@ namsab.
A high school guidance counselor is pretty much what it sounds like. They’re people hired by the school (high school kids are like, what 14-18 in age) to be available to give kids advice/counseling if they need it. A lot of times they also fill in the role of helping teens look at colleges.
May 21st, 2007 at 10:04 pm
I really do hate her.
Guy is ok though. I just hope he leaves, thus forcing her to be less vapid, blah, blah, but considering they’ve known each other for all a half-hour, this might take a while.
May 21st, 2007 at 10:28 pm
That’s awesome, AmericanNinjaX. XD
Hey, I just realized… There’s no title for this page. o_o;
May 21st, 2007 at 10:29 pm
Namsab: What Lepas said. But wow, you don’t have high schools? o0 I thought everywhere had high schools. Lucky!
May 21st, 2007 at 10:36 pm
Why? Why does not this page have a title?
May 21st, 2007 at 11:23 pm
I was at the Dodger game and my brother put up the page for me, which is why there was no title until now.
May 22nd, 2007 at 12:26 am
This “comic” is utterly lame. Thanks for the ten minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
May 22nd, 2007 at 12:57 am
She can’t even tell him herself? *sigh* Stasia…
May 22nd, 2007 at 3:14 am
“It’s mostly accurate…” - Great line!
Stasia’s a ditz, but she’s a loveable ditz which is the main thing
May 22nd, 2007 at 3:47 am
Stasia’s just graduated from college (see page 3 entry comment). This puts her at about 22 or 23. People typically graduate HS at 17, 18, or 19. Let’s assume 18. According to one of the earlier comics, she’s been around for at least five years, so she was clearly doing her thing during high school. Let’s say she took a year off in between HS and college to tour or something. That puts her at 19. Four years of of college, +4 so ~23 years old. Maybe even almost 24 if she took a semester or two off to tour. Unless she was 17 or younger when she graduated high school…
And yeah, i agree with Valerie — she has something of a wandering eye in panel 4. It makes her look kind of airheaded, whether or not that’s intended. I really like in panel 3 how the bags under her eyes implies she’s tired of other’s opinions on how she should manage her life. Heck, it’s why she impulsively married him, isn’t it?
—
P.S: Morgil, thanks for spending a few more minutes you’ll never get back on commenting. A bit hypocritical to waste time whining about a waste of time, don’t you think?
May 22nd, 2007 at 3:56 am
I love Stasia’s face in the fourth panel
May 22nd, 2007 at 5:14 am
Well, Stasia lucked out in getting a guidance counselor for a husband, assuming he’s one who is actually good at his job and not one who just mails it in every day/week/year. (I had both kinds when I was in school.)
I think it very telling that she handed him a book instead of sitting down with her new husband and talking to him. (Be a funny bit if he’s a speed reader and finishes the book in five minutes.)
May 22nd, 2007 at 5:46 am
Lol, I love it.
And Guy’s face in the last panel is SO exasperated teacher!!! (Well, a guidance counselor is almost a teacher!).
@ Morgil: we love you too.
May 22nd, 2007 at 6:57 am
Thanks, lepas. :3 That’s what I thought too.
@Valerie: We don’t have ‘high schools’ here in Germany, but that doesn’t mean school’s over when we get 14! ;P It’s just that elementary school divides in three parts with different names, the first two going until 16 and the last one until you’re 18, and only people graduating from the last school can go to university, so I guess it’s pretty much like a high school. oo We don’t have that kind of counselor, though.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:12 am
If Guy is a high school counselor, and if this ever comes up, please make the high school Booker T. Washington High School. It was the magnet school I graduated from (yes, I’m a former Tulsan), and it’s really the most cool school in Tulsa. It was recently ranked 58th in the nation, according to a recent Newsweek article. I graduated from there a veritable age ago, but it had the greatest faculty and staff…Guy would fit right in!
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:14 am
“I was at the Dodger game and my brother put up the page for me, which is why there was no title until now.”
Oh, okay. I was wondering about that. XD Ty.
“This “comic” is utterly lame. Thanks for the ten minutes of my life I’ll never get back.”
To each his own. o0 Just go away instead of wasting time and energy reading something you don’t like. And why bother commenting? Surely your fingers aren’t worth it, right?

Oh, oh! I wanna know what Parker’s up tooooooo! *Sits and waits for the next update*

May 22nd, 2007 at 8:43 am
Only 5 shrinks?
Mmm I guessed they gave up after the fifth. xD
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:58 am
you know, i think in panel 4 she kinda looks like wicki xD
only thing missing are the stars ^^
by the way nice comic^^
May 22nd, 2007 at 11:33 am
lol.. I have no idea what I’d do with a guy like Guy… he’s almost intimidating or just as crazy for playing along.
1st panel she looks ready to be helped and coddled and the like.
4th panel.. she looks truely insane lol!
May 22nd, 2007 at 11:43 am
Whew, yay. I’m still alive! Thought you could get rid of me, huh?
For once, I can relate to Stasia. I don’t like shrink either. Most of them are just a big waste of time (and money). I think it’s an interesting choice to make Guy a high school faculty member… I never would’ve guessed it (I was just wondering WHAT his occupation would be, the other day).
I wonder how long it’s gonna take for him to skim that whole book.
Love his expression in the final panel, btw. It’s pretty much this: -___-
May 22nd, 2007 at 11:47 am

Or you could just read Page 13, where she says she’s 24 –
http://www.marrymemovie.com/main/2007/03/30/page-13-meet-your-husband/
And Guy’s about the same age, maybe 25.

Dude — you never get any of the minutes of your life back. And whatever you choose to do with your minutes, you only have yourself to thank for it.

“Thanks for the ten minutes of my life I’ll never get back.”
Gramatically incorrect, luv. It would be ‘Thanks for [providing the content that wasted] ten minutes of my life that I’ll never get back’. As far as I know, Bobby and Eisu did not give birth to you and/or the human race, and therefore did not provide the ten minutes that you will never get back. They also did not make you waste it.
And you’re welcome. ♥
May 22nd, 2007 at 3:14 pm
This will be a very nice romantic com. You have most of the ingredients right. But you have come along way in a short time, I hope you have time to develop Guy as character a bit more. The “I’m a counsler” came very abrupt..
But sure this isn’t a movie yet..
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:09 pm
What’s hilarious to me is that handing him an autobiography is exactly what I would have done. I mean, all the information’s right there, right? And mostly accurate, at that! It’s so efficient! Sometimes I find it hard not to point to my C.V. during job interviews.
Heh, why do I assume that she’s never read it all yet, let alone actually written it herself?
And don’t you have to die once before you can write a second autobiography?
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:53 pm
*High-fives ThatOneChick* Awesoooooome. XD
“And don’t you have to die once before you can write a second autobiography?”
…You can’t write something if you’re dead. XD Someone else would have to write it, and then it would be a “biography” instead an “autobiography” because an “autobiography” is about yourself while a “biography” is about someone else.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:13 pm
Thanks! I knew Stasia was 24 so I was more or less curious as to how old Guy was.
May 22nd, 2007 at 10:22 pm
“This “comic” is utterly lame. Thanks for the ten minutes of my life I’ll never get back.”
It took you ten minutes to read one page? I’m more worried about your reading comprehension skill more than your use of ten minutes.
Bitchyness aside, poor Statia. Either her shrinks weren’t worth the the paper their degrees were printed on, or she is really, really, really flaky. I’m going to go with the former, just because I like her.
But that’s not to say I don’t think she’s a little ditzy.
P.S. Or she just doesn’t take constructive critcisim well *shrug*
May 22nd, 2007 at 10:36 pm
I read Shaquille O’Neal’s autobiography almost 15 years ago when he was a rookie in the NBA. If he could write one then, seems like he could have easily written another one by now. A google search reveals that many people have written two autobiographies.
May 23rd, 2007 at 8:00 am
You know, I’m not sure that Stasia is really a ditz, per se. I think she’s definitely quirky, and I think she has a habit of speaking without thinking first, but I’m not sure she’s really dumb or anything. It just seems that way because of the events she’s unthinkingly dropped herself into. I think it’s kinda like any one of us that makes a decision that they’re rethinking 5 minutes later, like buying something kinda expensive that we don’t really need. Thing is, her mistakes are likely to be a good bit larger than ours because she has the money and fame to make the bigger mistakes.
As an afterthought, maybe I totally missed it, but what college did she graduate from?
May 23rd, 2007 at 9:22 am
Actually an autobiography is commonly not written by its subject; most celebrity “autobiographies” are written by what’s known as a ghostwriter, a professional writer who interviews the celebrity, then goes on to actually write the book. Technically, they shouldn’t be called autobiographies at all, but it’s a publishing thing - people like to think that they’re getting the thoughts of the celeb.
And it’s certainly true that the only thing limiting the number of “autobiographies” a person can put out is what the market will bear.
May 23rd, 2007 at 10:06 am
wow… he’s a really cute guidance counselor… and she’s still wearing that ridiculous outfit? emo face…

(my comment goes to J too.. come up with a way to fix your issue, or just go away)
May 23rd, 2007 at 12:33 pm
*giggles* Stasia’s such a spaz.
May 23rd, 2007 at 1:50 pm
Megs: Actually, J says they shouldn’t be in the building anymore, although that’s fairly pointless. True, it’s been 27 pages so far in the same basic location, but I think it works because we’ve jumped around often to different people and places within this very large location (the concert venue). It’s not like it’s been 27 pages of people sitting and talking in a single room. Also, it’s a romantic comedy, not an action adventure film, so it’s more acceptable to not have a million cuts and changes of scenery. Also, a goal of mine is to have “Marry Me” be similar in quality to “Notting Hill,” so his comparison to a Hugh Grant movie is a compliment to me.
About Stasia still wearing the same outfit: This is still only around 30 minutes after they got married. I can say that you’ll see her in a new outfit by Page 35, though, possibly by 31 or 32.
Norgs: Haven’t revealed yet where she graduated from. Not important to the story, so I haven’t even thought of it. Probably somewhere in the Ivy League.
May 23rd, 2007 at 2:38 pm
“And don’t you have to die once before you can write a second autobiography?”
Well, that would certainly give a new meaning to the term “Ghost Writer”.
BTW, what do you get to do to die a second time?
May 23rd, 2007 at 2:53 pm
Hmhm, usually, when i try to give some advice concerning a problem to someone, i imply that i myself am not part of the problem. Because if i was then i would usually first try to fix my part before trying to give advice.
And guy is pretty much married to the problem…
May 23rd, 2007 at 3:22 pm
Hm… I’m a new reader, and I gotta say, this is one of the best new webcomics out there. I read No Pink Ponies’ first chapters a while back and this is even better, so, um, keep up the good work.
On a more related note, are you people actually debating the ditziness of a pop star? OF COURSE SHE’S A SPAZ! She’s famous!
If Stasia was real, she’d probably be the smartest of the pop stars, even though that’s not saying much. I mean, it’s not like she’s walking around saying “that’s hot” or shaving her head.
Oh, and Jillster, I went to the Number One school two years ago (2nd the year after, 4th this time).:D

Ouch. XD Well, Guy isn’t really adding onto the problem or anything. He just sorta got caught up in it.
May 23rd, 2007 at 4:46 pm
I thought J was here just last month giving some “comments” on the comic? How can he “Not read this comic for a few months”?
Anyways, I was pooped the moment I got home from work yesterday, so I couldn’t work on this comic. I’ll get it done for Thursday’s update (but late cos I gotta go to work now… different timezones and everything)
May 23rd, 2007 at 4:57 pm
Eisu, J’s one of those people who has no life so he compensates by using his worthless time to pick on others instead of trying to do something constructive. Basically the older version of the “schoolyard bully.” I think we all know those types. Don’t let it get to you. ;P
Anyway, make sure to get tons of rest. You need to take care of yourself, y’know?
May 23rd, 2007 at 5:41 pm
Valerie’s right: don’t listen to J. Your art is great and as a matter of fact the building that they are all in is a sexy sexy building!

“On a more related note, are you people actually debating the ditziness of a pop star? OF COURSE SHE’S A SPAZ! She’s famous!”
Just because current pop stars follow the trend of their ditziness being directly proportional to their sanity doesn’t mean that she follows that trend. Note that she did just graduate college, and that Bobby says she probly graduated from an Ivy League school. If I’m not mistaken, those are rather difficult to get into.
May 23rd, 2007 at 8:50 pm
Heh, well Guy being a guidance counsellor certainly explains why he’s friends with Parker (who RULES by the way! I love her so much. I’ve got a lot of friends like her [though to a less extreme degree] and I’m really more of a Guy. Actually, I kind of hope I end up with a slightly crazy spaz like Parker, but I digress.), and that sort of career’s probably the best match for a popstar like Stasia.
Sorry I haven’t commented for a couple pages, but I had to re-do this fricking research paper AGAIN.
I’m definitely buying the graphic novel when it comes out, and if there’s any chance of me being an extra in this if you’re able to get it made, I would love that so much.
May 23rd, 2007 at 8:52 pm
Well, not if you’re rich.
And, if you read the whole thing, I’m not calling her stupid, just acknowledging that pop stars are highly unlikely to survive without becoming a little eccentric.
Heck, I LIKE Stasia. She’s fun, and I DID say that she’s smarter than the pop girl-celebs I’m aware of.
And Ivy League schools are quite easy to get into if you’re insanely rich.
Oh, and J is EXACTLY like a schoolyard bully, except without the thing with the muscles and the ability to affect other people’s lives in any meaningful way.
May 23rd, 2007 at 8:54 pm
I am aware that I said “not if you’re rich” twice. Now. Sorry, got distracted whilst typing.:(
May 23rd, 2007 at 11:44 pm
I usually despise pop stars of any type, even comical representatives of them, but damn! She’s just too damn cute to hate! Crazy, check. Utterly unrepentant, check. That’s awesome
May 24th, 2007 at 12:01 am
I don’t know why but when i look at Guy in the last panal he reminds me of Johnny Depp! XD I can’t wait to see what happens next!
May 24th, 2007 at 12:18 am
Yeah… not to turn this political Norgs, but you need to look into America’s education system a bit better. Ivy league schools are dominated by rich kids, who are no smarter than kids that didn’t grow up in million dollar families. There are exceptions of course, but for the most part it’s all about who you know, not how you did in high school.
May 24th, 2007 at 5:37 am
Chapin ol bean, sad to say but that’s they way it is… in an ideal world, your scores, grades, and where you hope to go would go into a computer, along with the schools minimum acceptable standards, and out would pop lists of who goes where untainted by subjective criteria.
But we don’t live in an ideal society
Just enjoy the comic 
May 24th, 2007 at 7:52 am
Alright. Call me young and naive, then. Though I’m not sure I need to look into the education system itself so much as I need to look into certain colleges. It may sound a bit crazy, but I think an education major, even one that’s only finished one year of college, has some idea of how the educational system works.
And I would prepare some reply about how Stasia may not have been rich when she applyied, then I realized that someone’s already determined that she likely took a year off to tour before going to college. And that her dad’s flying around in a private jet.
May 24th, 2007 at 8:17 am
… wat does it take to go thru 5 shrinks?
May 24th, 2007 at 9:06 am
I’m sure Parker would kill to get hold of that advance copy of Stasia’s second autobiography. Especially if Guy could get Stasia to autograph it for her!
May 24th, 2007 at 9:48 am
“Oh, and J is EXACTLY like a schoolyard bully, except without the thing with the muscles and the ability to affect other people’s lives in any meaningful way.”

A good critique management is a solid basis for any creational work aiming at wide acceptance. Not all critique has to result in changes but a serious consideration of even the most hostile critique can cause wonders in the final versions. Though i am a great fan of this comic and do rather not agree with what j says, i do understand that it is not my place to respond or even consider his critique. This applies for pretty much the majority of people here i assume. I would not go as far as considering users voicing contrasting opinions as ‘bullies’ or telling them to ‘just go away’, as i believe what truly has the potential of advancing any creational work is in fact the negative critique.
Although i have to admit that if i seriously intended to criticize this comic i would probably try to contact the artist directly, avoiding violation of fan-feelings.
But that is up to everyone to decide by themselves.
After all we grow fond of something not because it may or may not be an exceptional creational work, but because we feel attached to it, slowly converting it into a tiny symbol of our lives and choices. Unfortunately criticizing any work in public not only criticizes the work itself and potentially the creator but also the (wished to be) undeniability of our choices…
May 24th, 2007 at 1:22 pm
Hey Norgs.
You misspelled “applied.”
How’s that college workin’ out for ya?:D
May 24th, 2007 at 3:19 pm
It’s working out quite nicely, thank you.
May 24th, 2007 at 4:13 pm
Kilroy: We all spell things incorrectly sometimes. It’s called being human. XD
Conscious: Yeah, well. He wasn’t even giving any information on how to improve. I don’t see how that’s supposed to help Bobby and Eisu, no matter how long they try to analyze it. :/
May 24th, 2007 at 4:23 pm
“A good critique management is a solid basis for any creational work aiming at wide acceptance.”
I’m not sure how this somehow became traditional thinking, but I completely disagree with it. Almost all critics are total morons, especially liars like J. I think listening to criticism hurts way more than it helps and that a lot of writers do it way too much, to the detriment of their stories. I trust what I think is best for my stories a million times more than what anyone else suggests.
“Not all critique has to result in changes but a serious consideration of even the most hostile critique can cause wonders in the final versions.”
It usually just makes writers doubt things that they shouldn’t doubt and make changes that they shouldn’t make. And of course it all depends on the specific writer and the specific advice — it’s a case by case basis — and really bad writers can certainly be helped at times by criticism, but I think good writers should mostly ignore any advice they’re given.
May 24th, 2007 at 4:48 pm
“Almost all critics are total morons, especially liars like J.”
Well, so they may be. I didn’t say everyone speaks true and it is of course a matter of judging clear how serious one takes critique.
I personally have found that most critics don’t care about putting things polite but they represent alternate points of views. Something that someone deeply in the process of creating something sometimes loses sight of.
“I think listening to criticism hurts way more than it helps and that a lot of writers do it way too much, to the detriment of their stories.”
Well, how much you accept what a critic says is your’s to decide but you shouldn’t deny critique just because it’s critique. Because then you might wanna ignore every other feedback too…
The problem i see here, the problem I’ve had too, is the pain of getting his most beloved creation criticized. But once i came past it and started judging critique for what it contained and not its intension, i saw the benefits of seeing things through their eyes. They helped me even though most definately didn’t intend to.
“I trust what I think is best for my stories a million times more than what anyone else suggests.”
Well maybe, then you won’t have to fear critique, now do you ^^
May 24th, 2007 at 4:55 pm
“The problem i see here, the problem I’ve had too, is the pain of getting his most beloved creation criticized.”
That’s definitely not the case with me. Criticism doesn’t affect me in any way whatsoever.
May 24th, 2007 at 5:03 pm
“Conscious: Yeah, well. He wasn’t even giving any information on how to improve. I don’t see how that’s supposed to help Bobby and Eisu, no matter how long they try to analyze it. :/”
Heh, yeah, i think i overformulated a bit :P. Sorry about that. Happens sometimes
Man, it looked so much better on the drawing board. Maybe i should now do it like Bobby Crosby and ignore all critique about my critique about the critique of other people about some not so friendly critic’s critique… or something
Btw, yeah, maybe i should have put here that j is maybe not the best example for a critic who’s voice should be deeply considered. I would think about it, then prolly ignore it. But that is what i would do if i was the author, which (as you may or may not have found out by now) i am not
what i intended to say is that even critics like him sometimes hand out ideas hidden inbetween ignorance or even hate and shouldn’t be pushed out just because they criticize. that’s because such people usually try to find something that is somewhere close to true (truth hearts a lot more you know :P).
unfortunately they usually stop doing that once they realize they can’t hurt you.
May 24th, 2007 at 5:05 pm
Grr, why do you even bother having ‘M-W-F” at the top of the page? you havent been able to keep up with that since… ever! Lower the frequency so there can be some consistancy to your updates

“That’s definitely not the case with me. Criticism doesn’t affect me in any way whatsoever.”
Hmhm. No pain is good, no effect is maybe not so good.
On one hand i see a very well developed art work. On the other hand i wouldn’t know how much better it could be if you followed different approaches. But this is going into a direction that I’d rather not dig up.
So i would like to close this discussion down now.
You’re right, I’m wrong. Just keep updating ^^.
May 24th, 2007 at 5:25 pm
“no effect is maybe not so good.”
No effect is definitely good for me.
“On the other hand i wouldn’t know how much better it could be if you followed different approaches.”
It would only be worse, not better.
“Grr, why do you even bother having ‘M-W-F’ at the top of the page?”
Just to annoy you.
“Lower the frequency so there can be some consistancy to your updates”
We’re just doing as many pages as possible. Feel free to ignore the MWF schedule, although we hope to do that properly eventually.
May 24th, 2007 at 5:33 pm

“Almost all critics are total morons…but I think good writers should mostly ignore any advice they’re given.”
A critic a person who judges, evaluates, or analyzes literary or artistic works, dramatic or musical performances, or the like– good or bad. You just inadverdantly called “almost all” of your commentors “total morons”…Not cool, Bobby.. not cool.
May 25th, 2007 at 3:01 pm
I think almost everyone in the world is a total moron, but I was only referring to serious critics, either professional critics or people who have review sites, things like that. They’re almost entirely just failed authors themselves and their advice is almost always bad.

so why come back to look at the comic if its so lame?
November 13th, 2007 at 2:31 pm
I didn’t get so much of a “dumb blonde” vibe from Stasia. She just seemed to get into the spirit of the whole “getting to know each other” business more than she really should have.
Basically, she’s acting like she’s not really letting reason get in the way of staying married.
Which is fine by me. It’s not like love cares much for a neatly-trimmed rationale.
April 25th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
It’s “mostly” accurate…ROTFL. And I’m thinking “Cooper” as in “Gary Cooper”. Guy has that same kind of laid-back down-to-Earth attitude.
April 25th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
BTW, sympathize with Stasia on the shrinks; I’ve been there. They never did figure out what was wrong with me…heh…>:D
