this is from a collection of strips called Roasted, created by Andy Riley.

Black woman with dreadlocks: So you’re over him then, pretty much.

Lottie: Oh, definitely. These days i hardly think about collecting all my tears in the freezer and making them into an icicle which I’ll use to pierce his so-called heart.

cute. i found the hardbound copy in a shelf amidst the Calvin & Hobbes and Far Side collections in Powerbooks in SM Megamall. it was my first time, reading for FREE in a bookstore. in Manila. Philippines.

filipinos are to some extent selfish when it comes to their words, i'm thinking, everything is sealed inside transparent fragile protective covers, unbreakable unless bought. it has been a dream of mine to have one of those shops like the ones in Europe where you could pick out a book or a magazine from the shelves, buy coffee (or not), read, leave, and come back to do the same anyday.

i had fun with that new discovery, Roasted. too bad, at the time, i had noone really to share the laughs with. (meryl? josh? kix?!! *sigh*)
