Sorry for my apparent out-of-nowhere shock, but this was the first comic of the new story to come up on my RSS so this was where I realized that there WAS a new story. And also a baby?!
I was both Eve and Will. Both the one anguished at the imminent "death" of the person I had been all my life and the people we had been as a couple and the one amazed at how my partner took such hardship in stride (in addition to having to deal with my increasing panic).
For any non-parent wondering about this, it's a very real and very valid fear, and one is not talked much about. You absolutely cannot keep being the people you were once you have a kid. It's not an exaggeration, it's not a challenge. It simply the realization that all your life you have been living in function of your wants and needs… and all of a sudden, you simply /can't/ do that anymore. There's just no time/energy/brain left for that. You'll become a different person. A better person, (if you apply yourself to not let frustration and exhaustion make you bitter or cynic) but not the same one. Proceed with caution.
Same here!!! It took me a moment to notice the "#30" … wth is wrong with my feedly that i missed this new story starting!? But im delighted to find it either way ?
WAIT
WHAT
I agree, seeing Will's shaving actually keep is weird.

I like how Will is a physical-newspaper kind of guy in 2021.
