Sloppier Than Fiction

Title text: Roger Ebert once called you directionless and unwatchable.

Explanation

This comic is basically about a terrible person that Cueball is somehow talking to, possibly at a bar or party as Goatee Guy is carrying a drink.

The title of this comic is a play on the phrase "Stranger than Fiction", which means that sometimes real life can lead to some unexpected ups and downs that would not even make sense in a fictional representation in a book or a movie. Goatee Guy unfortunately for him, is "Sloppier than Fiction".

In the title text, Roger Ebert is a well-known US-based movie critic.

Oh and FYI, if anyone ever says "It wasn't technically cheating"... it was cheating.

Transcript

Douchebag with a goatee and a bad haircut: Even though it technically *wasn't* cheating, she dumped me anyway! So I tell Bret, and he's like "She sounds just like my crazy ex." And I was like, "dude, what was her name?" and it was the *same girl*. I swear, if they made my life into a movie, no one would believe it.

Cueball: Yeah, though mostly because of the poorly-written dialogue and unlikeable main character.

Discussion

To me this is the lesson that sometimes we miss the most obvious thing: If you felt like you needed to do something that WASN'T technically cheating, perhaps what you shared WASN'T technically love. So if it was not love our beerded (at least I think it's a beer in his cup) friend lost, what was it? - e-inspired 98.211.199.84 15:21, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
