Hey, Tim Buckley, no fair trying to make me cry at work.
Seriously, this comic is amazing – poignantly wordless. I had assumed in the previous comic that Ethan was just trying to get out of work; that made it all the more shocking. The last panel captures it all – shock, uncertainty, pain, not knowing what to say. "Loss."
Your comments are great, too. We're gamer parents. We love our son. We love our games. I can’t imagine ever giving either of them up (even if sometimes the games get sidelined for the diapers). One day, we hope Teh N00b will be gaming with us (at least until he becomes a rebellious teenager and finds whatever the "opposite" of gaming is by then).
Thanks for trying to do justice to the fact that gamers do have lives, and that kids can be part of that. If people don’t want to read about gamers reproducing, that’s their problem. Me, I see that reality in our son making cho-cho-trains out of “Ticket to Ride” pieces.
But that’s just me. You do whatever you want, Tim. I'll keep reading.
