    I spend a lot of time training people to understand me before they’re actually required to. It makes things a lot simpler.

  2. Pheobsky

    This made me extremely happy even if it is a little grim :}

    ps. good to see that Girl is sill a punk rocker

  3. John (B).

    “NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME. THANK GOD!”

    When are we going to be able to get that on a t-shirt!

    :-)

    Every so often, one of these is woefully insightful into the human condition…

  5. Adam

    Damn Straight John (B)

    Girl T-Shirt FTW.
    Look – I have my money here!

  6. Lulu

    Yeah.

    Am I the only one who has created a digital alter of this strip in which the vampire and cowboy are pantsless?

    It’s not a good idea to let any old person understand ya. That can lead to trouble. Being an enigma in a public place is always a good idea. However when you start a relationship with someone rather it be with a friend or a soon to be loved one or even just a family member. To be honest if you don’t have someone to be yourself around. Things tend to get a little unhinged in the old noggin.

    I’m with John (B) and Adam. If you don’t bring it out, someone might do it (No, not me). I don’t know if you know the Threadless Type Tees…

    I’d totally buy the shirt.

    Does this betray Girl’s atheist portrayal?

  12. nae

    I’d take a shirt. it’s a good statement to live by.

    Outstanding, proving once again that this truly is the best comic on the web.

    Someone once told me that he can give a detailed description of someone’s personality based on looking into their eyes. And that multiple people have heard his descriptions of them and been shocked speechless by their accuracy.

    I asked him “What can you say about me?” And he said “Nothing, actually, because you never make eye contact.”

    Which makes me feel very safe. Perhaps Asperger’s Syndrome is nature’s way of evolving identity protection.

    I do that to test myself for schizophrenia… kinda amateurish, yet I still think it’s affective/effective.

    A t-shirt is a very good idea, I would wear/buy it.

    Yes, T shirt! Pretty & please! I never comment on these types of things, but I DESPERATELY want a “No one understands me – Thank God!” T shirt. Please let me know if there ever is such a thing.

    T-shirt! T-shirt! I would love a T-shirt!

    To be chanted while jumping up and down uncontrollably.

    Sad to see that Cat has given up the croquet-stick-to-keyboard playing style. It’s a lost art.
