Page 86: Problem Solved
Friday, June 20th, 2008This page reminds me of what me and my Dodger buddies (we have season tickets to the Los Angeles Dodgers) have been saying often this season whenever the Dodgers do something good: “Too easy!”

Finally, Mr. Tyler has realized the error of his ways. I guess Guy will now go on to become the next Oprah. Just different, and much, much better.
June 20th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Great page as always.
and is it just me or or mr. Tyler is thinking about getting Guy a talk show?
Anyway, keep up the good work.
June 20th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
I see what you did there.
June 20th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
I think Mr. Tyler may exploit our poor old Guy.
June 20th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
I’m with Peter on this one…
June 20th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
I can just picture the dollar signs in Mr. Tyler’s eyes in that last panel. XD
June 20th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Damn it already let me see Stasia and Guy kiss and be on their happy way…. the suspense is killing me
June 20th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
*Cha-Ching* yep giant dollar signs. XD
June 20th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
I could swear I heard a “Ka-CHING” when I looked at the last panel…
June 20th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
oh and great job on Last Blood. oh and tell Owen Kudos on the art work.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
fantastic page, guy can get someway with his future or hypothetically in-law.
Will the printed version of marry me be only for the USA? I’d be interested but I’m in Europe (spain)
June 20th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
uhoh.. guy is in trouble lol
June 20th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Hey whatnow? I just checked a few minutes ago and there was a different comic. I think Bobby might be getting serious about the ‘Updates every hour’ thing…..
Alicia Says: “First of all, kudos to Jon Pander for finding a way to include the word “gaydar” in his comment.”
It’s a gift.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
So…would Guy actually want to have his own talk show, or is he happy where he is?
June 20th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
I almost hear the ‘cha-ching’ going off in Mr Tyler’s head and dollar signs replacing his irises.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Vision-Ari: Sorry for stealing your comment - I didn’t read the above ones when I wrote it.
If it’s any consolation, that means we think alike, and so you’re as smart as me. What a proud moment for us!
June 20th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Sorry to Nick and Gary too. I really should read the above comments before I write this stuff.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Wow. I sort of want to stab Mr. Tyler. A lot.
Okay, maybe not just sort of. How dare he call Guy a hick?! D:<
Eisu: Guy looks ruggedly AWESOME in panel 3. That’s possibly the hottest he has looked in the entire comic
June 20th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
I’m so glad I happened upon “Marry Me!” It’s been an awesome comic to follow and I LOVE the characters. I am totally interested in a graphic novel. I’m sooo rooting for Guy and Stasia to stick together (or end up marrying for real, I guess).
June 20th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Oh noes! The light clicked in his brain and now I fear for Guy.
Nice work, looking forward to the end (and more comics to continue!)
June 20th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
the comments have no interesting things in them anymore T_T
probably because the comic is freaking amazing..
that may be it =P
<3s
June 20th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Oh, dear … I don’t like the look on Mr. Tyler’s face there - when he just got done calling Guy a “hick” and then suddenly pulls a 180? No … not good at all …
Can’t wait to see where it goes …
June 20th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
Guy obviously sees through Mr. Tyler’s sudden convergence. Just Wondering what exactly he has in mind? will there be a dream sequence of some sort?
June 20th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
ack I think I used the wrong word there.
June 20th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Still wanting Christopher Walken for Mr. Tyler’s part. I can almost hear his weird talk on the talk balloons.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
oh noes!!!
Guy Talk???
LMAO!!!!! XD
June 20th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
@Jande
as totally awesome as I think Christopher Walken is, I don’t know if he’d make a good angry, cares too much, father. He doesn’t exactly bring tension to the room, even when he’s angry. well, EVER, even as a villain. but he’s awesome to the max.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Dad should just be glad she’s not spending all of it on clothes, cars, parties, and drugs like so many young celebrities these days…
June 20th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Amala, goooood point.
As awesome as Guy is, he will turn down this potential offer right away..
Guy: I know exactly what you are thinking but I intend to keep the job I have. I help people much better in one-on-one sessions and its not something I intend to cheapen by marketing it. My advice is free, as it always has been.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Heh, Panel 5: Pirate
Panel 7: Pirate looking at treasure.
June 20th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
GRRRR I want them all NOW but I dont because once I get them all I will want more and I think it will be a while before he continues the next part in the series. I just don’t know what is going to happen and I cant wait.
Thank you for all the comics and the ones to come!!
I am going to buy the books and the movie but hey waiting suck and it finalizing up in the a few comics sucks. It should go on forever. But then I wouldn’t be happy because it never had closure. I am just crazy. But I enjoy it!
June 20th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Does anyone else think Mr. Tyler and Guy have very similar features.
If Guy were old and constantly furious, he’d look just like that.
June 20th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Hooray! This looks set to end very happily indeed.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
Hey, just caught up on the last few pages. I actually really like his conversation with the father. It’s… enlightening. I think having Guy as an anchoring character is a good decision, especially considering all the craziness that’s been going on around him. It’s as though he is the center of gravity, or the point of orbit.
And hooray, I still love Richmond.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
So I was watching Stick It (Lame, I know), and I realized that Jeff Bridges would be AMAZING for Mr. Tyler. Can I get a second on that?
June 20th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
A lot of folks seem worried about Mr. Tyler exploiting Guy. I wouldn’t worry. I’m sure that even if he accepted the offer Mr. Tyler seems about to make, he’d make the deal go his way.
It would be done after his “day job” as a High School Counseler, and he would only go on tour during school breaks. Hours would be strictly limited so he could continue to give his best for the students.
I can’t see Guy going Hollywood. In fact, the biggest obstacle I can see for Guy and Anastasia as a couple is being apart while she tours. Mr. Tyler is only a speed bump, if they decide to roll over him.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
As long as it’s reasonably priced, I don’t think I could go without owning a copy of the graphic novel.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Uh oh! Daddy’s getting his rape eyes again!
June 20th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Mr. Tyler looks like he’s got the idea of actually making that Guy Talks show just so he can keep his family rich, such a manipulator!
June 20th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
i think a good actor for stasia’s daddy is steve martin. i could just see him do it.. and he just needs and excuse to grow a beard
June 20th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
XD Rape face!
Hah ikeed. :B
Anyway, I love the crazy bug-eye look he has goin on in panel 5 XDDD
June 20th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
I want a copy of the comic.
June 20th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
LOL Guy’s gonna get a talk show and Stasia’s dad wants to suck all the money from it!
That is GREAT.
Doubt it’ll work, though.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
YES! It’s “Guy Talk”, LIVE! He can go on right after “Dr. Phil” (or something like that).
June 20th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Okay, I am getting a bit less sympathetic towards Mr. Tyler. While I can understand the captilist pig-dog heart that beats in that mans chest (as it also beats in mine, go capatalism!!), there is a point where you need to stop seeing everyone around you as a pawn in a massive game of financial chess. You needs some knights and rooks too for Discords sake…
June 20th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
Right now, there’s one way this can end that will be satisfying.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
Will it match what happened to Christian? Because that would be satisfying
Hah, I wanna see Guy’s response.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:48 pm
Amazing comic.
I’ll admit there are very few that can keep my attention the way Marry Me has, and it’s kept me returning several times a day just to see if there’s another page up.
I have to agree with a lot of the comments I’ve read, I love this comic, and I can’t wait for the next page.
Thank you Bobby Crosby and Remy Mohktar, for putting together such an awesome comic, I’ve also become hooked on a few others, especially Last Blood.
Thanks again.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
Screwed up Mr. Mokhtar’s name, I’m sorry, wasn’t paying attention to detail.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:57 pm
Mr Taylor SUX’s Ass. What a pain. trying to control his daughter so she can make money to ensure the lifestyle of his desendants (Grand children et al)
June 20th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
I’m thinking Dad in law is starting to make guy a star….if I’m wrong?
June 21st, 2008 at 12:16 am
It seems pretty obvious to me that, yeah, that idea is crossing Mr. Tyler’s mind. When he says “you may have a point, kid,” it’s purposely ambiguous whom he’s addressing but it’s probably the blond kid on TV. I don’t really see how else one could interpret this sequence of dialogue. Sometimes, scanning the comments, I have the impression that some people are reading another comic entirely.
June 21st, 2008 at 12:26 am
LOL at Avram. He/she wins the stupidest commenter of the page award so far.
“When he says ‘you may have a point, kid,’ it’s purposely ambiguous whom he’s addressing but it’s probably the blond kid on TV. I don’t really see how else one could interpret this sequence of dialogue.”
Uh, what the heck? He’s talking to Guy, highlighted by the fact that Guy says “I do?” after that. You say it’s purposely ambiguous, which it wasn’t, and then you say he’s probably talking to the kid on TV, and then you say you don’t see how else one could interpret it — huh??? Makes my brain hurt.
June 21st, 2008 at 1:27 am
I would buy the book! Look, demand!
June 21st, 2008 at 2:57 am
Wow, I’m gone a week and then BAM! a ton of new pages. All good stuff, I’m excited for the rest of it. Oh, and keep getting well Bobby.
June 21st, 2008 at 4:48 am
“Screwed up Mr. Mokhtar’s name, I’m sorry, wasn’t paying attention to detail.”
Mr.Mokhtar’s my dad… my name is Remy, in Malaysia, we don’t have family, we have our name followed by our dad’s name, sort of like Remy son of Mokhtar kind of thing
June 21st, 2008 at 5:54 am

Because we all saw it in our heads.
June 21st, 2008 at 6:21 am
This is another awesome page! I would love to get a book but alas, I’m broke. Can we mail-order? I’d probably have the money by August. Keep up the great work Bobby and Remy! I can’t wait for the next page!
June 21st, 2008 at 6:51 am
I would be interesting in the book, but I wonder if there would be issues shipping it overseas..
June 21st, 2008 at 7:14 am
@ Bobby
Roland Barthes published in 1968 a paper called la mort de l’auteur here in Paris, suggesting that the reader’s interpretation of a text is paramount, not the author’s intention. This was during a time in literary criticism where the an accepted method of scholarship was the application of the author’s biographical information and publication history to a textual analysis. Barthe’s essay empowered the reader to come to conclusions about a text which might even be at odds with the creator’s canonical perspective. In other words, even if J.K. Rowling said at various lectures that she always meant for Dumbledore to be seen as gay, and that he was even holding a bone for Harry Potter, it’s not up to her; the readership decides how to interpret his character.
You apparenly meant for Mr. Tyler as solely addressing Guy, but his eyes appear to be fixed on the television. This line is MUCH better if Mr. Tyler is simultaneously respdonding to Guy and acknowledging the blond kid’s point on the television, because it provides dramatic irony (Guy doesn’t know what Tyler’s thinking, but we do), and it lends Mr. Tyler multi-dimensionality, which is part of the goal of this scene, in my opinion.
Here are the reasons why I believe that Mr. Tyler is addressing the boy on television even as he responds to Guy.
1. The passage of time between Mr. Tyler’s “hick from oklahoma” interruption and his capitulation, during which he watches the TV broadcast.
2. The look of lust in Mr. Tyler’s eyes indicates he’s considering the lucrative suggestion of the blond youngster much more than Guy’s advice about repairing his relationship with his daughter.
3. In the last panel of the page, the third-person subjective focus is moved to Mr. Tyler, and we are asked to interpret his thoughts and feelings. Guy’s “I do?” marks an information gap between the audience and the hero, as we are able to read Mr. Tyler’s thoughts here. The difference between a movie and a play is that what would be expressed as a soliloquy in the latter must be conveyed through blocking and facial expressions in the former. If Marry Me were a play, Mr. Tyler would likely say something like, “That just might be a billion-dollar idea!” His face does the job for him, and so the last panel is accompanied by a much-needed laugh, precisely because the reader has the impression that Mr. Tyler is addressing the television just as much as he is responding in an unexpected way to Guy.
I appreciate your willingness to interact with readers and provide extensions and interpretations of the story; it often makes for a read as interesting as the comic itself. However, in light of your last response, I respectfully disagree with you quant à Mr. Tyler’s thought processes. When I write, I’m always pleased when I realise that the characters have in effect taken on lives of their own, and Mr. Tyler’s private joke here should be a great example of that for you, if indeed you didn’t intend it. I assure you that it’s very much there.
After a writer puts words to page, he ceases to be the author and becomes one of many readers.
June 21st, 2008 at 7:43 am
I absolutely love the comic, but I am trying very hard not to read the comments, because whenever someone posts some… well, “revolutionary” theory, Bobby gets all defensive and starts insulting people.
I can understand perfectly well how frustrating it can be if someone misinterprets your work, but please try not to get carried away - since you have made this comic public, and you give people a chance to comment, don’t be offended if someone voices their disapproval or misconception.
By the way, I admire Eisu’s patience and attitude, not to mention fantastic artwork.
June 21st, 2008 at 8:18 am
Amanda:
You read that as being offended? I read it as he was laughing at the stupidity of the Marry Me readers. Also, here’s a hint: don’t tell Bobby to calm down. It just makes it so that the next person getting laughed at is YOU, heheh.
June 21st, 2008 at 9:46 am
I love the way her dad’s hair is drawn. I love spikes.
He looks hesitant in the fourth panel there. Maybe he’s actually listening?
June 21st, 2008 at 9:47 am
Well, Bobby does seem slightly offended by the sheer stupidity of certain commenters from time to time. And let’s face it, we deserve the hate. Yet, we can’t stop loving this comic.
Eisu’s art is amazing, and Bobby’s writing… You’ve peobably heard all about how challenging it is to get out from development hell, or even into it. But when the movie script is ready for presentation, I can’t imagine this comic to be anything but an asset to your case.
I wish you good luck, and is sitting in somewhat silent anticipation of what will happen next.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:04 am
Guy Talk: Probably the best thing to happen to TV since before Survivor.
And, he wouldn’t even have to charge for it. Invest some money in an ad campaign with Stasia and Mr. Tyler, you’ll be a ratings hit, and can make all of your money off of commercials. And the people still reap the benefits!
@ Bobby: I finally broke down and started reading Last Blood and +EV. You and your artists have so much talent… kudos.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:16 am
Nice. And the foreshadowing was right there.
I need to go to the DMV and get my license or I’d write a longer review.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:29 am
I’d like a copy of the graphic novel, but I’m another of the ‘maybes’ because of financial constraints and the fact thatI live in Canada. Is that in the shipping area?
June 21st, 2008 at 10:49 am
Great story, I’ll can’t wait for the book!
June 21st, 2008 at 10:51 am
Well Look at that!! Daddy can make some money off of Guy!! Now Daddy Wants this marriage no matter what lol.
June 21st, 2008 at 11:29 am
I love the “May I offer some advice? [no pause] .” True, the strip is being compressed, but I’m allowed to be amused.
[Mr. Taylor bashers bashing]
I want a happy ending and happy family not meanness.
Hey, this is a romantic comedy.
As far as Guy goes, if there were lots of money, I’m sure he’d pour it into charity, as well.
And if he were able to help even more people, I do not see him saying a straight out “no”. Perhaps he could even help other people help people. Make counseling more popular, come up with training programs, or something intelligent yet warmly appealing.
[Angus the cat: and the fact that I live in Canada]
Hey, the Canadian dollar is worth 15% more than what it was worth when this story started. Not that I’m bitter about the steep fall in the US dollar or anything…
June 21st, 2008 at 11:30 am
(Foo. That should have read: I love the “May I offer some advice? [no pause] [advice].” but I used angle brackets for “advice”, which are apparently swallowed by the comment system as html.)
June 21st, 2008 at 11:39 am
….
*stares at Amanda’s comment*
*bursts out laughing*
ha… i needed a good laugh..
anyone else wanna post something for me to laugh at?
=D
June 21st, 2008 at 1:38 pm
First of all, love the story, but I can see it looks as though it’ll develop much further than just the first chapter. At least, that’s what I’m hoping… XD
Keep it coming. I’ll still be voting for you!
June 21st, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Just got a glimpse of ‘Guy Talk’ ending up like Maury. D:
June 21st, 2008 at 1:49 pm
I would buy this.
June 21st, 2008 at 1:59 pm
this will either turn out good, or very bad.
its kinda like one of those sitcom moments where someone thinks of a get rich scheme and begins the embarrassing, yet hilarious, antics.
June 21st, 2008 at 2:07 pm
WOW, Avram is now the stupidest and most annoying commenter in the history of this site, not just of this page. Hey, you fucking moron, you said you thought Mr. Tyler was “PROBABLY” talking to the kid on TV, then you said you couldn’t see any other way for someone to interpret it — so that alone means you have no brain in your head and it also means that you’re saying my opinion is totally pointless, even as another reader, because you’re SO CERTAIN that your interpretation is correct, EVEN THOUGH YOU ONLY SAID “PROBABLY” ABOUT IT SECONDS EARLIER, so your brain basically was just never turned on. It’s very stupid for anyone to think Mr. Tyler was talking to the kid on the TV. Your explanation for why you think so basically amounts to “Mr. Tyler would never lie because no humans have ever lied.” Obviously he doesn’t actually think Guy has a point, but he’s saying so because he now thinks Guy can make hundreds of millions of dollars with a day time talk show, so he’s being nice to him. You also said that Mr. Tyler’s eyes are fixed on the television — WHAT THE FUCK? How the hell can we tell that from a close up of his eyes in the last panel there??? That’s impossible! You said tons of other insanely stupid things as well and you just sound like a horrible, horrible person, like I wouldn’t want to talk to you for 30 seconds in fear that it would make my brain explode. Banned obviously.
We ship everywhere obviously, just like for the first 24-page book, which we’re running out of, by the way. They’re collector’s items, snatch ‘em up!
http://www.marrymemovie.com/main/order-the-marry-me-comic-book/
And to Amanda: Fuck you, kill yourself. Fucking idiot. And to give you a more serious response that you certainly don’t deserve: Did you not notice that Avram criticized the stupidity of other commenters on this site and said that he sometimes thinks they’re “reading another comic entirely”? He said this while also saying the stupidest things anyone had said on the page so far. If you think he doesn’t deserve to be told to shut the fuck up, then you should shut the fuck up. He should have been banned after his first comment instead of after his second, but I was feeling especially nice. You, on the other hand, are banned after your first.
By the way, Avram also previously said on another recent page that the ONLY WAY Mr. Tyler would know where Guy and Stasia are is if Guy or Stasia called him specifically to tell him, totally ignoring all common sense and logic and everything that we’ve seen so far in the comic. He also said there’s no way Guy and Stasia will get married before the story ends and he said several other insanely stupid things. He states his retarded opinions as facts and then when the author of the story disagrees with him he says I’m just another reader and that even as a reader my opinion shouldn’t count for anything, but only his should count. And blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Some people are just incredibly stupid and ALSO JERKS, like Avram. If you’re just gonna be stupid, I don’t give a shit. If you’re gonna be stupid AND call other people stupid and say that only your opinion counts, then FUCK YOU, KILL YOURSELF.
June 21st, 2008 at 2:07 pm
I’d buy the graphic novel. Full story?
June 21st, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Ok, sorry Remy.
I’m the epitome of American ignorance, so thanks for clearing that up.
Love the illustrations.
June 21st, 2008 at 2:59 pm
I think we’re all agreed that Mr. Tyler is somehow planning to market Guy now (personally, I’m hoping that’s followed by, “…instead of Ana,” because I think Guy is much more likely to stand up to her dad), but as to whether he’d do it - no. I don’t think he’d choose to, without some pretty serious convincing. He said he’d become the counselor at that school because he wanted someone to be there who could help the kids - he’s not about to leave those kids to become a tv personality.
I glanced at the girl in the second-to-last panel, and my first thought was, “No fair! We NEVER got to have midriff showing at my high school!” …then I realized that the interviews might not be AT the school.
Kinda wondering what’s happening with Ana and Janny while Guy is giving their dad a detour…
June 21st, 2008 at 3:27 pm
*eyes get all teary-filled*
Bobby.. you’re my hero.. just to let ya know
*holds up Marry Me, Bobby sign*
June 21st, 2008 at 3:32 pm
(randomly got cut off O_o)
I love it when Bobby gets all feisty!! .<
Please, go out into the world.. Hell go to college, and see how that warped sense of humanity fits into the real world..
*sighs* but at least I got some enjoyment out of it..=] I love seeing how stupid people interact ^^
June 21st, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Banning the stupid is the way to go, Bobby. Remember the old adage–arguing with an idiot is like wrestling with a pig. It gets you dirty, and the pig enjoys it.
Looking forward to the next few pages to see how this comes out. I have full confidence that it will end the way I hope it will (or, obviously, something better that I didn’t think of), because I have yet to be disappointed in how this story has progressed.
June 21st, 2008 at 6:14 pm
I feel totally proud because I figured out Mr. Tyler.
I KNEW it was something about his past :D.
XDXD
June 21st, 2008 at 6:43 pm
Guy Talk *snorts*
And so the real reason why Guy was given his name is revealed lol. Lovely artwork
June 21st, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Bobby.. Nobody could’ve said it better…
Thank you.
June 21st, 2008 at 7:14 pm
Haha. I can see the wheels in Mr. Tyler’s head turning. This is awesome! The only problem I think you’d have with turning this into a movie is that there don’t seem to be any massive challenges to overcome. Even winning Mr Tyler over seems to be easy. So yeah, makes me laugh, and I love it, but when you’re making it into a movie (Because even though I think you need more/harder hurdles for your characters, I have no doubts that this is awesome and you will get it made!) flesh out one of the problems. ie. Parker running to the nearest village, winning over Stasia’s dad, or even that whole bit with Stasia’s ex.
But even if you did not do those things, I would still watch this as a movie twenty times over, and read it another thirty, because this is such a cute, hillarious story and I love it.
June 21st, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Marmaduke, read this.
June 21st, 2008 at 7:43 pm
… I don’t like that look. I SENSE A TRAP. D:
June 21st, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Lovely.
Mr. Tyler thinks he can get Guy a talk show to allocate some more funds. He’ll probably give it all to charity too. XD
June 21st, 2008 at 8:15 pm
I’m disapointed with Stasia’s dad, a bit…
I can’t picture him beeing “boss of everything”.
June 21st, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Heh. I suppose it works either way. XD
June 21st, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Yay for Bobby. Yay for banning the stupid people! Also yay for this comic! My professional opinion on this comic however, is that it is made entirely out of awesome.
June 21st, 2008 at 9:20 pm
IT’S A TRAP
June 21st, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Hahah.. InsertName shall be dubbed Admiral Akbar
June 21st, 2008 at 9:41 pm
I’m going out on a limb here and assume that comments are fun, but a waist of effort due to the amount of crazy theory crap people are going off on. Its one thing to be shot down by Bobby, and just take it like a man; it’s another to rant prolifically all over his comic site. Booby the comic flows great. I get more intrigued about the direction its going in. The artists are just too fucking amazing. I finished Last Blood and I love the whole thing. Can’t wait to get a hold of a copy. -Cheers
stupid people need to go fuck themselves with boring trash novel
June 21st, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Wow.
If people want to analyze the comic that much, either get a degree in psychology, or go make up your own comic and stop bashing on other people’s hard work. Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean the rest of us has to suffer through all of your bitching about how much you dislike a particular element in the comic.
Geez.
Great work as always! Can’t wait to see the next few pages and how everything turns out.

Just wanted to put out my opinion on the whole Avram thing - clearly the guy is horrible, and I feel that I should quote a one-liner that he posted earlier on this page: “Uh oh! Daddy’s getting his rape eyes again!”
Bobby’s got every right to be pissed, and anyone who disagrees apparently hasn’t read through Avram’s other comments carefully enough to notice that they’re full of shit and insulting.

I’ve really been enjoying this comic - I don’t remember how I originally found it, but the story and art was so well-done that I got sucked in quickly and read the whole thing right then. I’ve been following it for a good few months now, waiting to see what happens. It’s sad to see it end, but it’s been an amazing comic
I would definitely like to buy it. Great job to Bobby and Eisu; it’s been great! Thank you both for putting this comic out there for us to read.

Avram = average fuckin btard 4chan retard mentality; copypasta someone else’s research/arguments, pass them off as their own, attempt to save face by acting condescending and superior despite lack of substance to back it up.
Solution: ignore it, and it will go away, kind of like a butt pimple.

Lex: Also, the fact that he thinks he should know more about the character than the WRITER/CREATOR does… amazing, some people…

How do you expect to get a movie made at all if this is how you treat your critics? There is not an editor in the world who would be willing to take that sort of response. And the likeliness of some big time producer saying that your work is utterly perfect and needs no changes at all is just slightly less then the chances of shooting the entire film in the ultraviolet spectrum.

Wes, what the hell: NO ONE ON THIS PAGE CRITICIZED ANYTHING ABOUT THE COMIC. NOT A SINGLE TIME. You’re now representing the many people who have submitted comments telling me that I can’t take criticism for this page — the rest were deleted because they were too full of insults and other disgusting shit. None of them make any sense, though, since there was NO CRITICISM OF THE COMIC on this page of comments. That is NOT what the argument was about. Also, FUCK YOU, KILL YOURSELF.

Freaking AWESOME!
June 22nd, 2008 at 12:09 am
Right on Bobby.
Just when I thought this comic couldn’t get any better, another great character appears. I feel like I’ve been watching a really, really long movie. I’m glad you’ve opted to continue on with it. And kudos on the supersonic update speed.
And Wes: “likeliness” isn’t a word. Come back and play the smartass after you’ve learned the fine art of diction. This long word roughly translates as “picking the correct word,” the primary criterion of which is that your word actually exists in the English language.
June 22nd, 2008 at 1:05 am
wes, your comment is completely out of line. and I agree with everything Bobby told you. Since you are saying that Bobby has no chance in getting a movie deal. I’m only going to add two words for you, ready?
LAST BLOOD
Now, wes go do as Bobby recommended and kill yourself, and if you want to accomplish something try and win a Darwin Award on your way out.

Love the comic and can’t wait to see the finished product
June 22nd, 2008 at 2:28 am
I just noticed that I missed a whole week of updates because the RSS feed told me that there was nothing new. Arg!
Now I have to go back to checking the page itself every hour.

I will absolutely purchase the novel. Its been a long road to this point hasnt it?
June 22nd, 2008 at 3:10 am
Heck yes I’ll buy the book! It’s been an absolute pleasure to read online!
June 22nd, 2008 at 3:19 am
i have two things to say:
1. I don’t like the look on Stasia’s dad’s face
And
2. We have finnally found out Guys fault…he’s an evesdropper…you could never throw him a suprise party he would ruin it for everyone.

What happened to my comment?
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:22 am
Bobby: It’s a refreshing thing to see a creator own a commenter who’s just whining for the sake of ‘hearing the sound of their own voice’. Power to you.
I’ve been following the comic for a while, and I’m yet to be disappointed in either the art or the story. I love the concept, as well. You find so many webcomics that are all practically identical, from the story right down to the half baked characters, and the creator usually gets bored and gives up within a couple of weeks. Eisu’s style and Bobby’s writting fit together perfectly, and it’s an amazing change to see not only a great -original- thing, but a great thing that plays right through to the end.

Caitie:
Uh… actually, “likeliness” is most certainly a word. It’s become far less common than the word “likelihood”, but if you type it in Microsoft Word or Firefox, the spellcheck okays it. Also, Dictionary.com cites it as a proper synonym for likelihood. Perhaps YOU should learn the language better before commenting on others’ supposed language problems. Quit acting like a know-it-all, because you’re obviously pretty dumb.
Thanks for besmirching the name “Caitie” with your stupidity, it makes me feel so good about sharing a nickname with you.
June 22nd, 2008 at 1:17 pm
My my…comment section is getting heated this time around. I think I will stay clear of all that.
Bobby, do you already have Last Blood and Marry Me going forward as movies? If so, when do you think they will be released?
Anyway, I am both anxious to see the end of the story, and sad to see it end. On the upside it will then mean that Eisu can get No Pink Ponies rolling again…so it’s still good.
Anyway, looking forward to the next few panels.

Janny should start up a college fund for her son so he can make something of himself.
June 22nd, 2008 at 1:30 pm
I think that Janny should have her son circumcised before she takes him home from the hospital.

[Caitie v. Calia on likeliness]
What is the likelihood that we can all just get along without character attacks? A forum filled with personal attacks is not pleasant.
[Avram on Barthes and la mort de l’auteur]
Your argument faces major problems. For starters, Marry Me is not completed, so to assume a meaning that ignores the author’s intent and fails to have the complete work as support is not defensible. Second, Barthes did claim the existence of a single interpretation, so your view lacks universal validity.
I’m reminded of the classic scene in Annie Hall. Behind Alvy (Woody Allen) and Annie (Diane Keaton) is a man in line loudly espousing his crazy literary theories to his date. After the man comments on Marshall McLuhan, Alvy can take no more:
ALVY
(Sighing and addressing the audience)
What do you do when you get stuck in a movie
line with a guy like this behind you? I mean,
it’s just maddening!
The man in line moves toward Alvy. Both address the audience now.
MAN IN LINE
Wait a minute, why can’t I give my opinion?
It’s a free country!
ALVY
I mean, do you hafta give it so loud?
I mean, aren’t you ashamed
to pontificate like that? And the funny
part of it is, Marshall McLuhan, you don’t
know anything about Marshall McLuhan’s work!
MAN IN LINE
(Overlapping)
Wait a minute! Really? Really? I happen to
teach a class at Columbia called “TV Media
and Culture”! So I think that my insights
into Mr. McLuhan-well, have a great deal of
validity.
ALVY
Oh, do ya?
MAN IN LINE
Yes.
ALVY
Well, that’s funny, because I happen to
have Mr. McLuhan right here. So,
here, just let me-I mean, all right. Come
over here a second.
Alvy gestures to the camera which follows him and the man
in line to the back of the crowded lobby. He moves over to
a large stand-up movie poster and pulls Marshall McLuban
from behind the poster.
MAN IN LINE
Oh.
ALVY
(To McLuban)
Tell him.
MCLUHAN
(To the man in line)
I heard what you were saying.
You know nothing of my work. You
mean my whole fallacy is wrong. How you
ever got to teach a course in anything is
totally amazing.
ALVY
(To the camera)
Boy, if life were only like this!

Calia: I hope you feel better.
July 6th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Haha, just got back to this and saw the link to that comment…. Now I feel stupid. But whatever, still love this so much!
(And by the way, I totally agree about that mary sue thing. It’s not that important. And anyways, I think you made semi-believable Mary-Sues.)
