In which Gus learns the difference between talking to Charlie and talking to his therapist.
Once I went out for a drink with my husband (who in fact used to be a bartender), and I was awfully tired, and I put my head down for a moment. I suddenly felt hands on my neck, massaging me. I assumed it was a close friend, who had seen me and come over to say hi. I looked up, and there, looking down on me sympathetically, was a complete stranger. It was kind of freaky. Anyway, my husband said to me more or less what Charlie says here.
I had a great time at New York Comicon last weekend! Welcome new readers. Special hellos to anyone who chatted with me. I’m going to let you in on a secret. When you leave a comment, below, on my comic? It makes my heart sing.
Art successfully imitates life!
I think you’re brave to put your head down on a bar. Maybe I’ve only been to low class joints, but they can be pretty filthy. (Not on the surface. But think of all the fluids and stuff spilled, sneezed, coughed, or thrown up on said bar over the years ..)
When you put it that way, I feel kind of like an idiot 🙂
Sorry I missed you at NYCC – but I did pick up both of your trades @ the Prism booth! 🙂
Sorry I missed you too! Thanks for picking up the books.
I’d be worried my head would stick, considering most of the bars I’ve seen.
Yay, for singing hearts!
And…for fantastically, unapologetic, honest, and sincere comics!
No “yays” for dirty bars, though. :/
And the brother is so, so cute!!!
Every song that it hears?
You say your heart sings when someone leaves a comment:: well, my heart flies a little higher with every new posting you make.
I came upon your work a couple of weeks ago; I started with page one and sat up until two in the morning until the end. Now, I look forward to each new episode.
Today it has been thundering here in rainy Manchester, England and you have, as always, brought a little pleasure into a dull day.
Thank you very much.
Oh my goodness, thanks! I hope you weren’t too tired the next day.
The American Airlines inflight magazine had an article about Manchester, and I think in summary it said Mancunians are the nicest people on earth. Something along those lines. I’m paraphrasing.
As everywhere, there are good and bad folk here in Manchester: having lived here a mere eleven years, I’m not yet allowed to call myself a Mancunian but I flatter myself I’m one of the good ones (reading your work is surely axiomatic of that)
Guys! My heart is singing over here! Singing Iike a lark who is learning to pray. And do you know what it is singing? Wild Thing. Because:
You make everything… GROOVY.
Big Internet hugs all around.
I won’t be satisfied until I hear a recording of your singing heart, which clearly must be an extraordinary medical oddity ; )
Great strips with the brother! I’m eager to see where it goes!
And I totally need to draw Finn & Charlie in the background of Manta-Man’s bar, too.
Hi! I’ve never commented before, even though I’ve been reading Hitched since about comic 40 or so… Wow, time flies, right? I just figured that today I’d just take a second to say that I love this comic to bits. It’s not just my one of my favourite “gay-themed” comics, it’s one of my favourite webcomics, period. Finn and Charlie are so sweet and funny, but still so real. I love that this isn’t a comic about “being gay” – it’s a comic about the lives of a married couple who happen to BE gay. I’m probably not the target demographic here, being a twenty-year-old lesbian from Dublin, Ireland, but this comic just brightens my day up whenever I read it. I swear that if you did this for fifty years I wouldn’t get bored! So… thanks! Keep it up!
Aw thanks, Jenna! You’ve just described the comic I’m trying to make, so guess I’ve been successful. Thanks for the feedback,and thanks for reading!
Well, I’m just a lil college nerd but yeah I love your comic and like a couple of others here I read all of it in one sitting. It’s one of the highlights my week and I look forward to the new installments ….. oh and the hairy legs lol.
Yay, I’m all caught up! Now to wait for more updates!
So far, though, this story line is kinda throwing me off.
In an exciting way. If that makes sense. H rm…
Oh the despondency in his little face! Kako lepo pubec, is the phrase that springs to mind. I think this comic may just be my favorite of them all, at least top 5. Awww, poor Gus….
