Hey. I just started reading your comic and I can’t seem to stop reading. I just want to tell you that this comic (04/28/2005) literally made me cry. Super fantastic!

Holy christ, I’m a combat veteran with the scars to match and I just cried too… 🙂 I’m going through the archive and… you do some damned good work, man. Whatever projects you do in the future, keep ’em going.
I have been reading through for the past couple of days. I am enjoying the mixture of regular friends in the city story mixed with mythology, and the exploration of several characters deep pysche. I have to say that this page is probably the most stunning and well delivered webcomic page I have ever seen. Kudos!
This.is.friggin.AMAZING.
And it hit home pretty bad. Lost both parents in 4 years time. After that, never trusted anyone to be around long enough, figgerin’ they could be gone any moment, so “attachment’ could only lead to anguish, loss, and pain……
From the comic ,I see You have been either IN, or close to “that place”
Having kept up with or caught up almost 100 different webcomics, some with 10 years of archives, I must say this is only the second or third page to make me tear up.
Absolutely one of my favorite strips. I love the different art style, the lack of speech bubbles (which gives the whole thing an ethereal quality) and how the shapes of the words themselves help to convey how they’re speaking. Heather’s soothing cursive, Shelly’s angry, jagged capitals giving way to sad, shaky writing…
Paul, this is the second time I’ve read this comic (I lost my internet for a couple of years and decided to start at #1 again) and both times I’ve cried at this one.
…apparently I’ve had a premature heart donation without my knowledge or consent, because I’m not even the least bit misty over here. ‘Course I’m also the guy who laughed at Seymore’s fate in ‘Jurassic Bark’, so take that as you will.
Otherwise, I love the storyline so far, the art and eyecandy are fantastic, and Paul has managed to get a great balance of humor and seriousnes. Well done!
Up to this point I’ve been laughing and cheering and commiserating with the group … then this hits. You made me cry. I’m sitting there reading along then this hits me. People look at me like I’m strange. I wiped my eyes and then came back later. Nope, still crying. Well done, sir, very well done.

OdietAmo… no kidding this is Catullus in pictures
*wipes eyes*
Sooo beautiful. And it makes cry.
At the same time it’s scary… But I can’t stop looking!
This just froze me solid…nuff’ said
I’ve only been reading this for 2 days and I’ve got to say… this is one of your most powerful and yet wonderful pages yet!
(Even though I totally saw this coming a mile away after seeing her inside her dream) 🙂

Wow.
Been reading the archive for the last five hours. It’s late, work’s gonna be rough tomorrow, and my pillow is damp. But still, thanks.
Just started reading from the beginning a day ago. This is so beautiful and made me tear up.
this is definitely one of my favourite strips. Amazing work.
I want my mommy… *sniff*

In short, I absolutely love this one.
This has to be the most touching moment i’ve ever seen *sniff*
Dammit, not fair. I’m a dude, you made me cry over a webcomic… 🙁
all this needs is another internet unfairness… Sound of Silence or something… :’)

Good work.

Every time I read this it still brings a tear to my eye. And I was reading this serially when this strip was published.
Outstandingly beautiful, regardless of its depths. Simply stunning.
Why does Shelly’s Mom look so much like Lakshmi here?

My 32 subpersonalities agree. Wapsisquare is well-written and well-drawn. And deserving of some awards.
