Description I kinda forgot to post this one awhile back, but what with me feeling all serious again about...well, getting serious with expanding "Bomango" into something more, felt like a good time to post this quick piece.

if you can forgive a little schmaltz, this was mostly inspired by Lunatica's "Song for You" www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rWU0x…
EDIT: Like I do sometimes, this piece is kind of a look to the future for the characters, with a slightly older Andy (as some people have wondered about)
This is just sort of a "thank you" to watchers old and new, for sticking with me with all i've racked up so far and hopefully whatever lies ahead. as i've said before, i probably wouldn't have had the guts to keep going even this far with my work if it weren't for the support of others, and for that i'm grateful.

thanks again

Thank you Van. Seriously. Almost made me man-squee.

A lot of us wonder how Bomango's story (Stories?) might develop, as well as the relationships between it's characters. This provides not only a great mental picture for Andy and Gogo, but a plausible one.Β 

Any chance ofΒ seeing more of Dee Dee's blonde love interest in the future? Just wondering.

I like it, I kinda think that there'd be another scene(maybe after Gogo breaks her mother) of her returning back to the house with Andy, Didi, and Pablo waiting for her and saying "Welcome Home."

Andy looks somewhat less squishy. Enough so that he could cushion Gogo's reverse cowgirl?

Hey, pretty sure we all feel the same way, Dude.Β 
Thanks for sticking with US for so long.
This entire thing's been kind of a companion for us (or...well, at least for me) over the years. We've watched it grow, gave us laughs and tears and comfort and melancholy when we needed it most.Β 

So... thanks, Uncle Van.
From the bottom of our blackened little online hearts, we thank you.

Oh my dear; this is so sweet, so romantic, and such a good thing to see!

A little schmaltz is a good, great thing and I personally thank you for it!

I really like that she is still noticably bigger than him (somewhat taller but not terribly so, unless he's standing on a bit of rubble to fit the mood, which would be cute and Andy-ish); he's a lot buffer than I expected but is only natural for him after being with her for this long. It's very sweet; she goes VROOM for big buff men, which he really isn't, and she's still liking him. It's a very sweet feeling.

It feels very intimate, and genuine!

And thank YOU for doing this series for so long!

This is so radical. I love it.

I especially love how it strays into "a bit too intimate to just be friends" territory with the way they're embracing, yet it still has such a powerful feel of deep, intense comradery. It's really inspiring; reminds me of the same feeling I get from my own characters. I feel like that's something special you get with characters you've had with you for a really long time.
