Incidentally, as I hovering the arrow over the comic to make the alt text appear, I stopped it unknowingly next to Park’s last dialog bubble, so I felt a little guilty for giggling despite the emotional turmoil going on.
Park is one of my favorite characters in Octopus Pie. Even in this situation, he’s reacting insanely calmly, though with a large hint of bitterness (understandably so).
I have to say, he deserves quite a bit of respect.
I absolutely love the various degrees of distance suggested in this comic and the last, and how clear it is that the distance isn’t physical. Wonderful artistry.
…Park is the picture of what I would not have been. He knows she’s had things with other guys, he knows that she’s not been as ‘committed’ (everyone’s understanding of this is different) as he’s been, and he knows that she was never as serious as him…she drifted away a long time ago but he stuck around, maybe out of duty, maybe out of actual feelings…and for some, the two might be inseparable.
His reaction is so the opposite of what mine would have been, at least in terms of length. I respect him for this. When it needs to end, chop it off in one stroke and be gone.

What a jerk!
Hmm…he has a right to be mad, but I don’t think he’s being a jerk per-say. Just venting…I don’t see them leaving on bad terms.
OMG! This is so intense.

I don’t know how many times I’ve apologised for my emotions. That “I’m so sorry” affirms you as a great writer in my eyes Meredith.
Uuuuugggg so hard!
First panel Eve is heartbreaking.
Aaaaaw. I feel terrible for both of them.
Am I the only one who actually liked Park?
No, actually.

So, so far apart…
The first panel is just so eloquent.
Aw jeez….I, uh, got something in my eye.
It’s called a tear. You get ‘em when you cry.
@Luna – I liked Park. But he’s kind of being a jerk in this panel. I don’t think he understands what a big thing he is asking of Eve!
As sad as the storyline itself is I can’t help but giggle at the scrollover text
