Starring an unnamed male character that fans have taken to calling "the little guy", it is about unrequited love and <a href="http://www.kartoen.be/wp/2008/04/13/the-other-girl/">longing</a>, dating, <a href="http://www.kartoen.be/wp/2008/01/28/hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm/">sex</a>, <a href="http://www.kartoen.be/wp/2008/03/27/original-sin/">daily</a> <a href="http://www.kartoen.be/wp/2008/03/31/come-to-the-dark-side/">life</a>, and the mystery of girls/women to men - especially in the form of the little guy's object of desire and chief tormentor, known as "the girl" or <a href="http://www.kartoen.be/wp/2008/02/27/good-evening-happysad-girl/">"Happysad girl"</a>. Both his storytelling and his drawing have evolved over the years, as he demonstrates with his recent <a href="http://www.kartoen.be/wp/2008/04/17/happy-birthday-happysad/">redrawing</a> of <a href="http://www.kartoen.be/wp/2006/04/17/live-love-learn/">the first comic in the series</a>. The tone is indeed happy, funny, wistful and sad. tag:metafilter.com,2008:site.70912 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 06:51:28 -0800 cartoon comics happysad relationships derMax
