You Might Be a Subculture of One If… II, Page 3

PANEL 1

Rachel stands next to a TV and various electronics held together with duct tape. Tuna the cat sits nearby looking amused.

NARRATOR: ...your solution for everything is duct tape.

RACHEL: "What?"

PANEL 2 - THE END

Stylized The End text with author note.

AUTHOR NOTE: Believe it or not, I cannot remember a single relationship I have had that did not feature me raiding my significant others hard drive for MP3s—one guy actually gave me an external hard drive containing all his music! But I never dated or broke up with anyone over it. (But I do remember hustling to acquire a stash of Nine Inch Nails albums before a big break up. Trent was worth it.)

I started the You might be a subculture of one if... series back in 2004. You can read the original set at: subcultureofone.com/comics/rtgsubculture

Small portrait of Rachel winking in the corner.

What, did it feel a little short? Well, here’s some unfinished artwork I did on the bottom of this page: The note written in the corner said "Leigh's Ex Meme."

That’s what my first boyfriend looked like. He was very fond on zoot suits. And hats. I gave him one of my golden pheasant Pharoah’s tail feathers for his hat and stitched it into the hat band. He took it off after we split up.

The girl standing next to Rachel is what I looked like when I drew this. Note the motorcycle chaps.

    Two thumbs up for the duct tape outfit ^_^

    I like seeing your comic alter-ego side by side with a more accurate comic self-portrait. It gives the whole thing a funny meta narrative.
