Sophie, sweetheart, I think you need a hug, a deep breath, and a good book. Preferably one without romantic drama. You should keep the beautiful key, though! Nice find! Are there more?
Wesley’s first love will always be cheese, and there’s no way any woman can hope to compete with that. Unless, of course, that woman happens to be the Goddess of Cheese.
Wonder what’s going on with the key… It reminds me of the cat-ankh amulet that led Sophie to personify her fear and discover her “Existential Dread” character in the Tusslemania arc. Will this key open up an understanding of the True Nature of Love? Will she learn that although television wrestling’s all fantasy theatrics, love ain’t quite like that?
OT: Georgia posted a comic of herself as a kind of moth “I’m sharing a rare personal comic today. This is one of the comforting things I like to imagine when I’m feeling blue, like Sophie is in this week’s BCN strips. Alternately, sometimes when I am sad or stressed or trying to fall asleep, I imagine there is a light house on the Moon and I’m its keeper. That’s an old daydream-game from when I was little. Maybe I’ll do a comic of that one day too!I do have some plans to bring this story into a future BCN project, but it’s not related to the comic itself. And it’s not very high stakes—just something fun and light my best friend Preston and I hope to make happen for BCN-verse in the future. (…It may have something to do with a certain curmudgeonly snapping turtle we all know and love). Sorry for only having vague hints to share, but early stages of low stakes funsies projects are like that… Do you have a comforting thought or place you go to when you feel blue?”
Lemme knows when Kooky Kitty snaps outta it and come to senses again and realise she belong to kitty species and not some ferret creature from tumbuktoo. Maybe kitty take too many bumps on head during them wrestling matches and gone all kooky now.
She looks crestfallen at Tommy’s remark. Poor dear Sophie. Run, Sophie, Run, into the arms of someone who appreciates you and your art! (Be ready, Gutter!)
Wondering about that key. It surely has some significance. Georgia rarely puts something like that in the comic that doesn’t get used or needed later. (Remember Baba returning the thimble that Thimblefist used 3 YEARS before it came into play during the mole wars???!!!!)
Hi everyone. Just a quick update. The Woman seems to be doing better. We are hopeful that she will be able to sleep in her own bed tomorrow night. She is, among other things, going through Girl Withdrawal … The Girl is highly susceptible to ear infections so her parents don’t want to bring her to the hospital. But they are talking on the phone as I type this. :-)

Well, at least she’s having fun with the drama.
Le'letha Premium Member 24 days ago
And Tommy, that would be “a mustelid of metaphors.”
McColl34 Premium Member 24 days ago
Yeah, I don’t think Wesley is all that much into subtle codes . . . cheese, yes, codes, no.

Well, they say home is where the heart is. But in this case I’d say Wesley’s heart is in cheese. Gutter, on the other hand…..

Sad door and broken heart windows! But Sophie, it is not Wesley who is suffering the pangs of dispriz’d love.

Or is it just the key to the cheese cabinet?

As I’ve said before, Sophie, Wesley doesn’t deserve you. You are sweet, poetic, loving and lyrical, and he is a cheese-obssessed twit.

Am I blue? Am I blue?
Ain’t these tears in these eyes telling you?
Am I blue? You’ll be too
If your schemes, like your dreams, done fell through
Was a time I was his only one
Now I am the sad and lonely one
Oh yes I am
Was I gay? Till today
Now he’s gone and we’re through
Am I blue?
Was a time I was his only one
Now I am the sad and lonely one
I’m such a lonely one
Was I gay? Till today
Now he’s gone and we’re through
Am I blue?

Perhaps some one in the orb has access to a heath or a bit of dark moor and swirling fog that Sophie could use to wander-brood upon…?
