Relationship week (3 weeks late!)

Perhaps you're wondering where I've been. Or maybe you don't really care. Either way I'll be explaining what went wrong next week with drawings, diagrams and pie charts.

For now I'm going to post a drawing I did a few weeks ago that features Lion and Lemon. In case you were wondering, Lion is based on my boyfriend and Lemon is based on me. The reason we're a lion and a lemon comes from the Kevin Smith film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. It's the Good Will Hunting 2 scene where Ben Affleck and Matt Damon yell "lion face, lemon face" at each other. If you've seen it it'll all make sense, if not I recommend you watch it because it's a funny film.

We adopted it as a catch phrase somehow and it's just stuck. He's very lion like in real life thanks to his lazy ass scratching and big fury mane. I'm more lemon like in that I grow bigger year round and am so very bitter.

What makes this comic and the one before it (found here) even better is that it's all true. These events have happened. I'm thinking of making them regulars but we'll see how many funny things happen to me and Mark over the next few weeks.

  1. actually If you fertilize your tree year round then your lemons are not so bitter, they can actually be kinda sweet, this also has to do with the variety, but yeah. and I know of some yellow squash. does that count as a veggie?

  2. Yeah I reckon yellow squash counts. If only I'd thought of that before I opened my mouth. Thanks for the lemon fact :)

  7. Thanks Mark. It's a laugh a minute in this house so there should be plenty of material for me to continue with the series.
