That moment when you need in-universe reason to excuse why trying to maintain a daily serialized story the month before you go into a 20-month Bachelor degree program might be a. bad idea.

Almost done with that Bachelor's degree program, by the by.

Bunny Boss: Wager however you'd wish, Miss. Just hope that salvation is willing to pick up your tab…

CLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

???: It's an eternity in here. In this moment. Isn't it?

???: What do you suppose would be luckier in this situation? One in six chances, after all…

Tomcat: I don't know who or what you are, but I would like to live.

???: For what?

???: For the sake of the inane doldrums of an average life?

???: For the sake of your friends? For the sake of you? For the sake of an average life that just so happens to be yours? The years rolled on with you, and they rolled on without you. You would not be missed.

Tomcat: There's something you're not telling me.

???: Have you truly never wanted for more than this?

Tomcat: …More than what?

Tomcat: More than friends who love you? More than a cat who wants to curl up in your lap? More than a life that's supposed to be so infinitesimal in the face of eternity?

As opposed to what?

Punkie: You know, as a lesbian, I wish you did more gay art.

Tomcat: Isn’t all art I make gay by that logic? Having work filtered through my perception of the world as a gender non-conforming “girl” in the way I approach a myriad of facets of my life, like my relationships with others and subsequent views of those relationships, no matter how explicitly or latently it appears within that work?

...

Punkie: I think you have enough space to draw girls kissing.

Tomcat: Oh, most definitely.

And JUST leave him to die???

Tomcat: Okay, but did we all have to take a trip to the Nevada desert?

Tomcat: Why is Bubblegum here?

Bubblegum: Hey!

Bubblegum: The office sent me as their leading sales rep, and you thought it’d be better for the environment if I tagged along on your pre-existing road trip.

Tomcat: Okay, I can believe that, but why is Teddy here?

Teddy: Because my schedule was clear and Bubblegum asked.

Tomcat: Well, then, why is CHARLIE here?

...

Teddy: And just leave him to die??

God lives in all of us, but he also specifically lives here.

Tomcat: So, are you one of those people who believe God is a construct of his own, or is he divided into everything?

Teddy: Well, I think God is in everything from you to me, to you, to my mug.

Teddy: But I think God’s mostly in there.

...

Tomcat: It’s probably why my rent is so cheap.

I’ve learned more about fashion recently, but have I?

Tomcat: Look, I just feel like I'm stuck in this sort of "classic comics" baby butch look. very linus, very calvin, still stuck in the vaguely "gross dude" spectrum of femininity.

Tomcat: Personally, I'm hoping that I can move into the "fancy lady" spectrum of masculinity some time in the fall, but I guess I'll also settle for any kind of general tackiness in the meantime.

Teddy: I think I understand where you're coming from.

Teddy: For example, I wear a necktie.

[tomcatcomix]

Hmm.

Tomcat: Oh my gosh, wouldn't it be so funny to give your ghost daughter a lemon? 

Princess: Tommy, she's not a baby. She knows what it tastes like.

Princess: I don't even know if she can - oh. hmm.

...

Tomcat: Mmm.

Tomcat: Ugh, a third act misunderstanding? Not again! This conflict wouldn't even exist if the characters just talked to each other!

Multiplex Employee: CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE WON FILM CRITICISM!

Multiplex Employee: WE LOVE YOU FOR YOUR ORIGINAL AND NUANCED TAKES! 

Tomcat: Oh wow!

Multiplex Employee: YOU'RE SO SMART AND COOL AND ALWAYS RIGHT! 

Tomcat: I knew you could do it.

This is sponsored by my latest breakdown relating to seeing Snoopy sad for 3 minutes in “Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown.” He was just so sad, though. You have to trust me. Any of you could’ve been me.

Tomcat: SOB!

Princess: Whoa, Tommy, you're crying! Are you okay?

Tomcat: Mm-hmm.

Tomcat: I'm just really moved by this raw display of anguish, you know? How much can really be communicated by as few lines as possible.

Tomcat: How grief can transcend abstraction and become as real as anything concrete could...
