I think I kind of get it... This guy seeks "closure" by making amends with his ex girlfriend, who looks like she's moved on, among others things.

Is that right?

I can't see enlargements of pages 2, 7, 8, 10 and 11. Nothing happens when I click on the thumbnails for them. The URL for the enlargement doesn't even appear in the lower left corner when I move the cursor over the thumbnail. Can you fix this?

Sorry about that Mike.I fixed the link so all the thumbnails should be clickable now.

Yes, Will, you're precisely right.

So you did post them! I guess Sloth is quite the mad skillz convincer...
The alternate cabbages and brocolli version is missing though ;)

I'll post the broccoli and cabbages version up soon, yums.

ya Sloth, this is exactly how it went down.It had been almost a year since we had spoken.But, there's more even more to it than that, so I promise it will make more sense when I post the final version with dialogue.

Thanks for fixing the links, Rick. You make great use of pictures to tell what's going on and to suggest what went on before, without the use of dialogue. The only part that's unclear to me is the part where the young man speaks to the man coming out of the building. I guess the young man is trying to persuade the other person to let him in the building, but I don't get the hand gestures at the bottom of page 4, nor can I guess why he indicates his bike to the tenant two rows above.

It strikes me that with only a little modification, you could tell this story without any dialogue at all. If you don't want the motive for the young man's visit to be apparent until he meets the girl, the story could stand just about as it is. If you want it apparent sooner, you should somehow introduce the girl earlier; an old photograph or a thought balloon spring readily to my mind, but maybe you can think of something else. But this is your story, and in the end you alone decide what works to tell it and what doesn't.

What's this about cabbages and broccoli? Or shouldn't I ask? :)
