I’ve probably talked already about how fake long distance relationships can suddenly feel when things like this come up. When I look back on my relationships I realize some of them *wanted* to be long distance, if that makes sense. I wanted the excitement of the visit and the longing in between, and the specific person mattered less than I thought. We just weren’t that into each other. Otherwise, wouldn’t we fully be in one another’s lives? Oh sure, there are practical considerations and all… but after a certain amount of time, what’s practical about being apart?

Anyway I find the design of Aimee’s friends very incongruous and strange haha. I wanted to show her with a wild bunch that was very much searching and unsettled, and maybe all attracted to one another. A lot to say in a couple of panels.
