Description

A comic from my journal comic series "The Secret Life of a Journal Comic". You can read more at my main site at www.journalcomic.com

And now for it's original notes...


Now, I'm not saying that gag he played isn't hilarious, it is. And the touch of spacing out each incident sometimes a month and sometimes several months, just so the last deception wouldn't be fresh in my mind and I also wouldn't pick up a pattern was goddamn brilliant. But you know, most sociopaths are intelligent.

Not that those events are even at the heart of my diagnosis. It has more to do with things such as being incredibly adept in the art of social interactions, and yet never displaying any notable emotion other than either pleasantness, or exasperation. I want to also add "reacting physical pain" that's really the closest third.

I don't mind it though, he has a good sense of humor (obviously) and at least as opposed to my mom I can follow patterns when talking to him and don't have to be constantly tensed for anything.

Except for blatant, purposeful manipulation, but I can't tell you how comforting the "purposeful" part of that is. At least there's some resolution there and we can all move on knowing the score.

But the game's still on old man! The clock's still running!
