She loves you, is as much as she remembers who you are.

Most of my friends kids have, at some point, confused me and my husband.
So if you haven’t heard, my and my little comic have been nominated for an Ignatz award in two categories! This is kind of incredible to me—especially considering the other people who have been nominated, this year and in previous years.
So thank you all for reading. I’m glad people are enjoying this strip. I do enjoy making it.
Congrats Tony! Well your comic isn’t just appreciated in the US, I’m in Ireland and I love, I’ve shown it to a bunch of friends and they’ve even thanked me for showing it to them they love it that much! Here’s hoping you win anyway!
Congratulations. Your comic deserves as much attention as it can get. I’m not in a relationship, but your comic feels so slice of life it doesn’t seem stale or condescending like a lot of couples comics and is instead witty and enjoyable for someone who can’t 100% relate. Congrats again.
Congratulations!
This comic always makes me smile. Because of that, your comic is one of my favorites.
I have to say I do so enjoy Finn and Charlie. And awesome on the awards!
Congratulations on the nominations! Well deserved.
When I was in my ltr, people would always mix up our two names. The only couple I knew who didn’t have that problem both had the same first name.
Thanks everyone! It means a lot to me to know you are reading the strip and enjoying it.
And Mark, I always wonder is straight couples have this problem? Is it easier for kids to tell remember who’s who if the people are different sexes? Maybe it wouldn’t be if their names were like Pat and Chris.
I remember doing this once as a kid (mixing up the names of a different sex couple with some friends of my aunt and uncle); I don’t remember the names exactly but it was something like “Lesley and Chris/Kris” — where, yes, the names could be either gender, but if you heard that name, especially when you were six or seven, wouldn’t you assume the woman was Lesley and the man Chris? Apparently, I was wrong, and I only remember because my aunt was a total bitch about it. I’m not sure why that stands out, because, well my aunt was pretty much always a bitch.
It’s true that kids deal with names differently from adults, because you have less experience with them. When I was in first grade, I met a girl name “Astrud,” and I could not wrap my brain around this new, unfamiliar name. I thought her name was “Ostrich.” She had to keep correcting me.
I also had a friend growiing up, a boy, named “Courtney.” (He was named after his father.) Then, as an adult, he fell in love with and married a woman named, of course, “Courtney”. So oddly the only couple I really know who have the same name is a straight couple. (Well, I have a friend, Tim, whose husband is also Tim, but I haven’t met Tim yet so it doesn’t count.)
