this comic falls flat because i can’t draw. meg is supposed to be face first on the ground. but this is based on a true story. grade 11 graphic arts. this guy, rob, started fainting during a demo and my first instinct was to jump back and move out of the way so i didn’t get hurt. luckily, all the normal humans in the class all swooped in and caught him. i was haunted by my assholeness for two decades. i confessed to this to rob at our 20th high school reunion- how this ate at me. he laughed and said he fainted cuz he hadn’t slept in a couple days and dropped acid the night before.

a decade or so later, i was waiting to cross a busy street when a car t-boned another car and the windshield flew off and dramatically came flying towards me and a couple other girls next to me. the windshield spun for what seemed forever on the pavement and stopped just a couple feet in front of us. i stood there in shock silently thanking the universe for saving us, slightly brain dead when immediately, the other two girls ran to the vehicles to check if the occupants needed help.

i guess no matter how hard i consciously try to be nice, deep down, i’m a self-protecting asshole.
