Description Tweet-Tweet and the shrink. It had to happen, I guess. As usual, it's semi-autobiographical.

I hope you like that particular background, because you'll see it again and again! (which is why I spent some extra time working on it)

CUI-CUI: … donc je suis un oiseau parlant jaune qui vit parmi les humains…
LE PSY: Intéressant.
2.
CUI-CUI: … personne ne m'aime. En deux mots je suis un échec total
LE PSY: Intéressant.
3.
CUI-CUI: C’est tout? Vous allez juste répondre "intéressant" à tout ce que je dis?
LE PSY: D'habitude, ça marche.
4.
CUI-CUI: Vous êtes vraiment psy?
LE PSY: Vous êtes vraiment un oiseau parlant jaune?
CUI-CUI: Aha, vous êtes malin
LE PSY: Intéressant.


Cui-Cui et le psy. J'imagine que ça devait arriver un jour. Comme d'habitude, c'est semi-autobiographique.

J'espère que le décor vous plaît, parce qu'on n'a pas fini de le voir! (raison pour laquelle j'ai passé un peu de temps supplémentaire à bosser dessus).

LA SEMAINE PROCHAINE: Catch Hell Blues, 6e partie.

I would laugh at this strip, but it will cost you a 100$ an hour.

Shrink : littéralement : un réducteur (une bonne traduction en français que j'ai vu je ne sais où de ce terme d'argot peu flatteur : "réducteur de tête")... éh, éh, éh.

Interesting. I like this interesting idea. To be honest, interestingly enough, this really happens in real life. Once more, interesting.

Some years ago I went to a psychologist.
She never commented on what I said except with a "hum". Very frustrating ...

Instead it seems to be rather funny for tweet tweet to conduct a dialogue like this

The-Mirrorball-Man In reply to YellowBrainProject [2010-06-16 13:06:45 +0000 UTC]

Sometimes people just need to talk, just to purge their emotions and look more objectively at what's happening inside them. Other people might need something more engaging and interactive.

in that period I would gladly accepted some advice ..

The-Mirrorball-Man In reply to YellowBrainProject [2010-06-16 14:03:06 +0000 UTC]

I can understand that, but it's usually not a shrink's job to give you some advice. That's what friends are for. The psychologist can only help you sorting out your thoughts and dealing with your emotions.

YellowBrainProject In reply to The-Mirrorball-Man [2010-06-16 14:21:19 +0000 UTC]

I don't know.
I think you're right, but she never spoke. Six months and she never helped me understand my emotions. A shrink whom I met later, however, had helped me a lot.

The-Mirrorball-Man In reply to YellowBrainProject [2010-06-18 10:52:33 +0000 UTC]

Then you obviously made the right decision by looking for someone else.

ah non, c'est intéressant qu'il faut dire, pardon...

je vois très bien l'humeur N°3 du strip précédant faire surface à la fin de la consultation, mais plus envers le psy que CUI-CUI

There seems to be a general consensus around the fact that this is "interesting".

It's funny and self contained, it's hard to think of something to say, aside from "Hey, good one!" Your work has been pretty consistent lately, man. You're going to have to settle for the occasional lackadaisical comment

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

The-Mirrorball-Man In reply to zamfir [2010-06-16 13:22:51 +0000 UTC]

You're perfectly right of course. Sorry if I sounded bitter or demanding.

I'm always grateful when people post comments on my images, even if what they write is very brief or repetitive. It's just that one of the nice things about deviantART is the way conversation can spring from art, and since some of my comic strips are very personal, I'm open to talk about personal issues if people are interested. And when I say "personal issues", I'm not necessarily referring to mine.

The background in this particular one is "pretty pretty pretty....pretty good" to use the words of Larry David.
