Your last panel is genius.

Thank you.

My first kiss was on a bus. His lips were chapped, and I remember "knowing" that I was supposed to close my eyes, because that's what my best friend told me to do. It was nice. I wonder what happened to him.

Brilliant comic. Made me think of my own memories.

besides being a great cartoonist, you're a good writer. I loved this.

Seattle has purple bottle-base sidewalks in parts of downtown--so pretty.

I love those things! I once did the Seattle Underground Tour, and they look very cool from underneath, too, with the light coming through.

I've seen bottle-base sidewalks in places other than NYC; I know there's one outside City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco, because I have a lovely memory of standing in the basement staring up at it, seeing one from the underside for the first time. They're really cool things.

That is a wonderful comic. When I was growing up, we'd visit my Grandma in Missouri. The front porch of her house had glass blocks that were lit from underneath... they always seemed so magical to me.

There are some of those sidewalks in Seattle - I thought they were absolutely fascinating - and later I realized there are also some in Victoria, BC as well, although I don't know what they might be illuminating. I'm not aware of an underground, if there is one. Mystery!

I was just about to comment about those! There is an underground in Seattle, you can actually go on a tour for that one. :) Look up the Underground Tour online, it's pretty interesting to learn the history of there.

This is beautifully expressed.

I noticed a bunch of broken bottle-base sidewalks in Philly a few months ago when I visited, and was excited to see them still alive and well in NYC.

Wow.. deep. High-five for deepness.

Wow. I love this. Thinking about the past is something I do regularly--might as well call it a hobby--but I often wonder what a moment for me meant for someone else, and it drives me mad sometimes to not be able to know.

This is the best one-page comic I've read all year. It's pretty much perfect.

This is definitely my favorite of your comics. That's so similar to how I remember both vivid childhood images and nascent sexuality, and the last panel is really nicely composed.

never stop making comics, k?

Is that this guy? (http://lucylou.livejournal.com/535412.html) It's the eyebrows that make me think so. I have similar acute memory flashes of awkward, inappropriate teenage groping, which was both mortifying and exciting then, but now I'm only left with the mortification. Anyway your comic made me feel mine. Well done.

Clammy hands, moist breath and very wet kisser. Poor old Gareth.

Good work Lucy!

We have bottle base window things over here too, or atleast I've seen them somewhere.

This is so interestingly done! I like it a lot.

A) This really is a fantastic comic. Great writing, great art.

B) My boyfriend and I were just talking yesterday about how much I played the Ren and Stimpy game. He was playing something (I don't remember what) that shared a song in the soundtrack.

I love this comic so much.

this comic is so true. it's weird having little life changing moments that only you yourself know about! so weird.
