Today’s comic is a story Kristin told me this week. Kristin’s in Baltimore, so she told me over IM, and it’s just wishful thinking that we were in the same room. But it’s less boring to draw than computers, and anyway I’ll see her in a week or so at SPX, so maybe it’s a FUTURE bio comic, and she’ll just retell the story when we see each other. Yeah, let’s go with that.
Anyway, weren’t we just saying that self-perception is a bitch? I might have told this story before – if so, forgiveness please: several months ago I told Kristen, “if you tell a girl often enough that she’s fat, she’ll never believe otherwise.” “Oh,” Kristin said; “you only have to tell her she’s fat once or twice and she’ll believe you forever.” And then it doesn’t matter how much she changes her diet, how many 5Ks she runs, or what size jeans she’s wearing, inside she will always believe herself to be fat, and she will always be shocked to hear people sincerely say otherwise.
In other news completely, I made myself a new portfolio site! Check it out! I never dreamed that would be done before SPX.
