On Rejection

Click to enlarge Today's panel is about rejection. In my head, this comic was supposed to take place in a school, but I realize now that I completely forgot to draw the setting. In any case, I suppose it doesn't really matter; everyone, everywhere has felt rejected at one point or another, regardless of setting. Few things hurt more than rejection. Isolation is a powerful force that can leave you miserable and desperate and possibly heading for your grandfather's shotgun collection. However, no matter how socially alienated individuals become, they can never truly be broken until they suffer that identity crisis that leaves them alienated from themselves. Except Amanda, of course. She's just totally screwed.
