Description
Remember that 1940s super hero pulp-fiction RPG that's appeared in my gallery before? There are many more comics to upload from subsequent adventures that I just haven't gotten around to posting yet, but here's a short little strip that came out of one evening's fun.
My sister's character, Sunspot, and Erich, her ex-boyfriend (he's just a side character but everyone decided these two had a history, much to my sister's chagrin
).

I keep coming back to browse through your beautiful (and massive!) gallery...and sometimes, there's just certain pictures that stick.
I...I love you, A-a-artoveli ; 3; Your sense of humor, your...your awesome wit, your....beautiful pencil strokes!
I still say Ridel should tell us about these two, though.

Erich: <3...
Sunspot: Look - d'ya know the Felix-style hairdo?
Erch: Wha?

When I first saw this, I thought Sunspot had started Cyan's hair on fire. I thought to myself, "NO! What will his Number One Fan do now?!"
I'm very relieved I was wrong!

Come on now, the hair is the one thing that makes it possible to tell my characters apart!

; ; I can tell your characters apart! Their eyes, noses and mouths! :0 The thumbnail was just...it tricked me!

Hahahah! this is hilarious. The fact that you usually don't make use of speech balloons in your strips, makes it a lot more funny that it would be. Your ability to make comic expressions helps a lot too.
Great job, Artoveli!

Though I do think the little red heart is an important detail in this one.

I agree! That little heart is half the fun in this joke!
but I don't consider that a speech balloon. To me, speech balloons must have words something written in it (punctuation doesn't count).

Yeah, I know. But I actually use a lot of speech balloons in my other comics.

I'm not saying it is a bad thing to make strips with speech balloons. Please, don't get me wrong. I am actually complimenting you for being able to make great strips without them. It isn't all that easy to do that, you know...

I'm not getting you wrong, I agree!

And that's why people with lots of hair shouldn't anger people who can make things catch on fire.
It's a good lesson.

A very good lesson! Hopefully he'll remember it for future reference.

I don't know, ~Ridel even refuses to acknowledge him in her backstory.
While my brother (the gamemaster) says that he has plans for this character in the future, I doubt Erich and Sunspot will ever get back together. Erich went off and became a Nazi!

Well you know, he was young, inexperienced, and totally taken in by Hitler's leadership. Much like most of the young German population at the time, sadly.

Yeah. My grandparents are German but thankfully they escaped before the war fully exploded. A lot of people they know though were sucked in.
