Official website: http://likeobscurevainefforts.com A comic tragic strip, starring Mr. Everyman. L.O.V.E. is based on the idea that "less is more". This goes for the esthetic as for the text. I always had more respect for authors who said a lot with few words, than for authors who said little with a lot. (This is not a comment about length per se, some authors say a lot with few words for 400 pages, others say little with lots of words for 50 pages.) For this strip, I was inspired by some very moving strips that occasionally popped up in Calvin & Hobbes or Peanuts in which, instead of a punch line, you got some serious truth handed to you, or something very emotional. I liked that. And this is my attempt to turn the usual funnies into saddies. This doesn't mean it will never be fun, though!
