march 3 - he sees blah blah

I love this comic. Up until the part where Monique gets all emo. The last panel could have been so much better...

I agree.

Oh and if there was ever any doubt

Except some form of that saying has been around forever in internet time. It could be coincidental.

You can take away the emo from the last panel, but leave the art, it's pretty.

Why yes Tat, you do win the Internets.

And now a cookie for you:

...Is Tat upset about something in his life o.o;;;;;? He's going deep lately but in a depressing way. Hhmm, people do that when they are missing something.

Makes me wonder lately, xD is Tat a woman? He seems to understand our hearts.

my religion has trained me to look for meaning in coincidence and this coincidence is just one of many.

I like it. Even the emo last panel.

And Tat is not a woman. The very idea that he would have to be to write what he does makes a little part of me die inside.

Being a guy, I choose to disagree with Monique's thoughts on what the guys are thinking. It's very unlikely any of them are thinking anything beyond "ooh, pretty girl."
Still, 'tis a good comic.
(And the thread title lies, it is march 2nd, not the 3rd.)

The guy in the second panel reminds me of the kid in Subway that always drops things and stutters when I come in.

One thing I really like about sinfest is its versitility. The strips range from very silly, shockingly crude, painfully truthful, inflamatory, sad, as well as insightful. Plus the visuals are great, and there is a lot of subtle attention to detail, as well as references, both in the artwork and the jokes. It's a good, smart comic with good charactizeration, that covers a great deal of topics.

Friday is a very a very good comic, more along the lines of insightful with a touch of sad. I forwarded the archive link to today's comic to my friends.

even if the last panel is to 'emo' for you,
it's classic Monique.

she's walking around, trying to visualize how others 'see' her,
but still self-centered enough to believe none of them have it right.

of course, this is probably true, that no one sees the real you. But most people don't even have a good enough idea themselves to accurately say how other people see them, or how they should see them.

Well, no der they don't see her.

They don't know her. Thus, all they have to go on is her appearences.

How'd'you see the real someone if you don't get to know who they are on the inside?

It's the same kinda thing, though, that people with a wheelchair/crutches/cane feel (this is coming from personal experience, I spent the last 2 weeks on a cane and the week before that on crutches) that all anyone sees is their handicap.

Soon as I got better, the same people that opened doors for me stopped noticing. Which was relieving, because damnit, I got tired of not being able to open doors.

I actually love the entire thing, last panel included. I think what Monique wants is for them to look at her and rather than quickly slapping a label on her for their needs, she wants them to think of her as a person to be evaluated as such and not merely a body to fulfill a predetermined role these gentlemen have in their heads for her. I think that's what any of us want really. To be seen as who we are without any strings attached, you know, not "that punk with the mohawk and ripped pants" or "that nerd", but a person that might be interesting to know with no prior prejudices.

I read Tat deeply. Deeeeeply.
