Psych(ic) [preview]


Recently, I've started to watch Psych, a comedy-drama detective show that subtly emphasizes that many people will believe whatever you tell them if you are really vague and can correctly guess a few facts about their lives.  So from this show, Flor decided that she is psychic.  Not a deceiving quick puzzle-solver like Shawn, but an authentic psychic.  She has been trying to convince me since the start of last semester, but I'm not convinced.  That's right. You are NOT psychic, Flor.  

As for the drawing above, let's superimpose Psych onto our lives, Flor and mine.  She would be Shawna, the "psychic" one, while I would be Gusette, the straightforward, law-abiding citizen. Though we aren't childhood friends like the characters, and though Flor wasn't thrown into a trunk by her father for survival training, and though we don't solve crimes, I feel like we can relate to Shawn and Gus.  For example, what we bicker about is absolutely ridiculous and does not make sense half the time.  However, our bickering has yet to reach the ultimate end: a fight to the death.  So yes, the origin of Psych(ic) might be portrayed in a later comic for further explanations. And if anyone asks, Flor is NOT psychic.  Don't let her convince you otherwise.

The Revenge of the Past











Happy New Year!  This is the first new comic update for 2010.  Before you go questioning our sanity (just question my roommate's sanity), these conversations concerning the remnants of the ancient civilizations overlapping into the present day have been happening since sophomore year.  However, this year, Flor has expanded her "god/pharaoh/ruler" powers and dubbed me as her scapegoat.  At first I thought her hovering 5 feet above me in her lofted bed, threatening to smite me from across the room was bad, she now has improvised this year by claiming she still has god-like powers even in the mortal realm.  The best thing to do is to avoid being smited and deny the fact that she's psychic.  That's right, Flor.  You are NOT psychic [explanation will follow in an upcoming comic].  So enjoy.
