Author's Response:
And I appreciate your 2 cents. This cartoon wasn't going to be for most people, and I was aware of that when I submitted it. Very much something oriented to a niche audience.
To be honest to story wasn't even the point, it was a place holder. The point of this is interaction, that desire for some human contact even when it's awkward and misplaced. I hoped that how quickly the fellow in the red shirt revealed his girlfriend was pregnant with a child not his own would convey that need. I suppose it didn't.
The camera movement was overdone, I admit, but it was jerky for a reason, one I won't delve into at the moment.
Thanks for the review, and I'm glad that you managed to find at least some enjoyment in this.
