comic #4: "She didn't spit in my face or ANYTHING!"

So, yeah, getting this comic done today was time-consuming. Tricky stuff.

Two bits of news: First, I was shown this video the other day, and, well, I knew I had to pass it on. These sitcoms are slightly before my time, but, I mean, who can resist? The Fonz is just TOO COOL- he can jump the generation gap just like he can jump sharks, believe me.

Also, I learned that you can't please all the people all the time. My personal favorite is the one about super smash bros. Melee. Ouch.
Now...Why would I post something like this? Well, I suppose it's partly because I'm being a masochist, but also because I want to put it out there so people can stop taking it so damn seriously.
(For any non-wes readers out there: this is an excerpt from a website set up by Wesleyan University students called WesConfess, where they can write anonymous comments about themselves or others that the world has access to. Think of it as the "Burn Book" from "Mean Girls" and every crush list you've had throughout high school, amplified (because of the internet) to a global scale.)
When I first made discoveries like this fine one (and I've always been shocked to find that I even had the social visibility to appear on one of these things, let alone a devoted thread), I was totally confused and frustrated.* There were some positive comments, some nonsensical words, and a few gender-less entities that declared I was both "hott" and "disgusting," not to mention a few choice words that would shock my grandmother. I told a few friends that it upset me, and they went to bat for me, defending me in the public sphere (and that's why I love you guys!). But then, I just stopped looking. Until this morning.
Today, I realized that this stuff is hilarious. It is. The stuff they put on there about me and the people I know is quite entertaining. And I decided that this stuff was funny enough that I wanted to show it to all of you.

So, in short: if you, or anyone you know, has been burned by this school-wide gossip column, take a second with that person/yourself and explain to them/yourself that WesConfess and the ACB are, quite simply, jokes. Still not convinced? Watch and laugh as the Wes online community is thrown into a tizzy when someone uploads a picture of tubgirl. (It's since been removed, don't worry.)

*By the way, I'm posting that song again. It's that awesome.
