As I said in the comments of last comic, Thank you for every ones interest and enthusiasm for the comic. I'm a very lucky person to have such devoted readers.
Nah. Shannon and Emrys were never really that close to begin with, but Shannon loved Mark and Mark was the closest thing to a best friend Emrys had in the series, so it would make sense that Shannon could just open up to Emrys. There’s really no one else who would be appropriate at this point- The girls are sort of walking on eggshells around her after Jojo’s revelation, Jeff likes Jojo so Shannon would be pretty mum about her feelings, Dave is the cause of Shannon’ and Marks breakup in the first place, and I have a feeling if she opened up to Mateo they would be sleeping together. Emrys is innocence personified, so everyone would know that a platonic hug is just a platonic hug.
Once again, you hit the nail on the head, Corey. You are spot on with the characters. In the end, the hug was just a comforting hug and I’d like to think all the characters would know the difference.(and if it was misconstrued, I would hope to convey it more overtly.) But it wasn’t. Just rolling with the feels. Thank you for your clear insight.
I just pumped out my fist and screamed “Yes! BONDING!” So happy that Emrys was there so Shannon could finally open up about her feelings. I really hope that he and her become really close. but not close enough to be misconstrued that Emrys has a thing for Shannon, or vice versa. I don’t want another miscommunication to ruin Emrys’s trip like seeing Beth and Rich together without context almost did.

This would be good without Mateo looking back.
With it, it’s perfect,
bohemiannightsthecomic
Thank you! 🙂

You’re welcome, Eric.
And I hope Mateo will not drop a van on Jeff. (What he will actually do, I am afraid)
bohemiannightsthecomic
I’d be more worried of Jeff dropping the van on Mateo.

I can imagine the green Man counseling Emerys like Gandalf and telling him that there is more to him then he guesses.
bohemiannightsthecomic
Yeah. He would say that. I wonder if he even leaves Portland, though?
ChrisH
Well I hope Mateo isn’t the kind of guy who jumps to conclusions. And Emrys is right about Mark- he wasn’t a saint. Who is?
Brother Parvus
Mateo appears to approve.
bohemiannightsthecomic
I think he knows what’s going on.

Emrys has really grown up over the course of this comic. Well done Eric.
bohemiannightsthecomic
Thank you. 🙂

oh oh. are assumptions gonna be made? good thing Jeff didn’t see anything, at least yet – – this comic is so well done
bohemiannightsthecomic
Thank you! I like to think if Jeff saw he too would have the same reaction as Mateo.
ChrisH
G, yeah! Jeff would blab almost right away, and not accurately. BN has consistency, a rare quality in webcomics. 🙂
bohemiannightsthecomic
Thank you so much, Chris. I do try hard to be consistent.

feels good to be out from underneath the F***ing smoke doesn’t it?
bohemiannightsthecomic
Yes it does!! That was awful. Had headaches almost every day.
josh
Yeah, me to. I live about 80 miles south of you and got a good lungful myself

I am curious if Beth will be jealous for that one hug.

We can finally close the chapter on Mark’s death, in a positive light, no less, and get everyone moving forward again. Well, done sir. Well done. 🙂

Catching up after awhile and…damn. The feels. Thank you for never giving up and still going on this wonderful webcomic.
Catharsis is a sunvabitch sometimes XD
