Another peak episode from the goat

Micah Ibarra

Right when I get off work, beautiful

None of Your Business

I really love how healthy Audrey is, she’s genuinely such a good friend to Val, always making sure that what she’s doing will hell her out in the long term. I… I want to know what things have happened to Audrey in the past. What flaws does our perfect little angel have that they still need to work on?

BodaciousBootyBouncer

I feel like Audrey is intentionally withholding the truth and is using tricky wordplay

Artbarian

I don't think there's ever been a webcomic that makes me jump into action like seeing a new BfV notification

Kali

This is my favorite one so far. I love their dynamic so much

QUINN M.

Okay but in seriousness dead leaves are good for the plants and don't kill grass.

FASTEST IVE EVER CLICKED A NOTIF

this just means Val and Audrey will have to learn to cook together 👀

I am totally not a blue collar dad secretly in love with shencomix.

Fantasizing about him cooking for her, she's so down bad

Is bigger trash bin the same as chopping down the tree? 🤔

Artbarian

YEAHHHH SOLVING THE ROOT PROBLEM AND NOT JUST THE SYMPTOMS GOOD LIFE ADVICE LET'S GOOOO

AcidRaki

Shen what would Audrey look like IRL ? Like a good comparison? I can put an image of Val in the ol some

Alex Cameron

This panel is amazing, I love it

Cryer

Stop trying to inspire me to clean my living space, Audrey. It's never gonna work... It might. Actually it might. But I don't want it to :(

ChattyNinja

First time being on Patreon for a new release, kinda nervous (fire chapter)

Moss

husband?

Bacon

I beg someone to find equivalents to Audrey's fit, I wanna wear it, but have 0 fashion knowledge

Vampatics

KISSES U SHEN (FRIENDLY) I LOVE THIS

Xav Marz

So soon after the last one. Shen be careful im gonna get used to this schedule like a cat

Dahlia Grayson

Hearing Audrey can't cook rings so true.

Vampatics

Actually full homo gay kiss this comic deserves it

Cam

ONE MORE UNTIL THE BIG TWO ZERO!!!!

Lemmon

I was about to go to sleep So glad that I didn't

Nerd Detective

I appreciate the symbolism. Val's room isn't *just* messy... it's a parallel for her own self-healing process. Audrey can't clean it for her because he can't externally fix her as a person. He can only help her to fix herself and get to a better, healthier mental space. That's a great message. Also the axe panel is going to be a wild reaction image.

DaDerp

I love the slight art style change during the tree example

Spooki

HUSS AM HERE LOVELY AS ALWAYS sad that audrey cant cook :(

Vampatics

Also fjdjfjjdjdjd I love that you didnt have Audrey just 'fix' it for her by having a team cleanup, a real friend is showing the path, being the body double, but having your friend how to learn how to do that shit themselves (like a kid riding their bike for the first time still needs help, but they still do the big part) I love that.

Weedspagon

That's not *strictly speaking* how fallen leaves work but audrey might not know that and val DEFINITELY doesn't, so

Vampatics

Coming from experience as one who was the friend who helped clean their rooms too...this is the way 👌 ily shen

Papa Smurf

I love this so much lol

Jake Watson

How is Audrey more metal than the person wearing the Nirvana shirt

Vampatics

Gotta slow burn it, its so juicy

Katie Bunn

Audrey is so good for Val, I love these dorks so much!

Linkisbad6

I'm foaming at the mouth, I am a new strand of rabies

TJ

im starting to think this isnt a romantic story

Nerd Detective

Absolutely! And since there are obvious parallels between Val's life and room being a mess, I love that Audrey is kinda looking straight into the camera and telling us that we can't fix someone (or vice versa), but we can help them on their way.

Vampatics

Panel 7...so beautiful

Rylee

This is genuinely good advice. I used to feel so bad about trash piling up in certain rooms in my house and then somebody suggested getting more trash cans and it blew my mind.

Jeremiah Boyd

I have no doubt this series has healed some people and will heal future readers. There’s humor and excitement for a lot of it, but its sincerity and tenderness are what makes it truly special.

Sean Doherty

It was worth becoming green to be here

Iunius

Great work as always Shen

EthanBlue

I genuinely prefer it just as a really strong friendship, but I'm in it for whatever this ride has in store Now a HUG, I'm itching for

SeedersPhD

That last bonus panel is so fucking good

Terra Greer

This is so good! I'm loving the message we're getting from this, of cleaning up our own lives, while also getting so much from the story! And I love that we got 2 updates in the same week!!! Thank you, Shen!

kidev

actually a good tip. my best resolution was to absolutely NEVER postpone something that can be done in less than 2mn. NO EXCEPTIONS EVER. it works wonder

Aurelia!

Could we get a still image of Axe Audrey without the text cause that is amazing XD

SinDaGoblin

This is like showering with the lights off if you don't like looking at yourself in the mirror.

YouWontSeeMe

I want them to kiss really bad shen if you’re listening can you please make them kiss please

Maphisto_86

Audrey is like some kind of sage. Like a zen master who gets way too much take out.

ReverendDong

This is actually unfathomably wise advice., holy moly

ziPRR

Eww no thanks I'll just read it happily and learn nothing

ziPRR

The tree was metaphorical but the axe wasn't 😱

Aether Stultz

My ass is at work, ts is a goated distraction

Kasabaru

Yesssss! Dopamine!

Chestnut Thing

Yeah, Audrey doesn't seem like the type to be good a cooking, but will enjoy standing there in the kitchen "helping" while someone else cooks.

Robin Grayson_

Im pretty sure (some) leaves are actually healthy for your lawn, they dont. Kill your lawn unless if its a big pile of em For efficiency you do thin layer of leaves to create a healthy ecosystem for bugs and spooders. Big piles will suffocate your lawn but it also depends on the type of leaves, some break down quicker than others. Sorry, not to erm actually on a comic post, its all in good fun, I really really like gardening

i_draw_sp

shen in the factory pumping out bangers. do not be fooled, he needs rights

PrivateXimmy

As someone who just mighta flunked the masters program in the final hour, the message about good lifestyle choices hits different rn. Thank you for the updates on these two’s journey, it’s very sweet.

Robin Grayson_

Overall I like the metaphor and am not in disagreement, just sharing extra info on top of it

mqtak

He said I can fix her

Monkeydragonson

Audrey's secretly an axe murderer confirmed? Good for them

Death From the Ankles Down

Audrey's advice reminds me of some yellow casket tapes that my parents had when I was younger....one of them was a genie of work. He said "I am not here to do the work for you but I'm here to teach you to work" and Audrey gives off the same vibes and I love it. 😆

Hakurei06

I wonder If *I* should get a bigger wastebin. Nah…. *fly buzzing around room*

Bingo Goat

What great advice, actually o_o Bumper: in where Val learns that bachalor life is a universal thing, and just because someone *looks* like they've got it all together, doesn't mean they do. =,

Andrew Frisina

Val's betrayal is immense and unconveyable. Also I don't know if that's how EITHER of those things work Audrey but that is VERY much an accurate allegory in spirit! The root matters more than the real issue. Also yeah, I'm sure with a larger bin Val will have to take it out less and since she seems to be pretty strong she won't have an issue with that. Thus reducing trips, having more to work with, and overall getting more out of it over time. Val's real issue is likely due to self-esteem and an extreme disillusionment with the world and what she grew up thinking the world would be like, and the fact she's not accepted for who she is and wants to be. Trying to fight through that and get things done takes up a ton of energy, so sometimes you only have room for the necessities. This gets worse when you have "why bother" constantly ringing in your head and can't just "do it to do it regardless of how useless it is." So of course Val's gonna struggle. You have to get to the root of the issue not band-aid up the symptoms. Since Val's been called lazy before to the point of ingraining it, she probably has ADHD and a difficult time focusing and needs more caffeine or at least proper meds for a bit.

Ben Robinson

I don’t fully understand the subtext behind what Audrey is saying. Is it that the Result of a messy room comes from a deeper reason, the Source being her low self esteem demotivating her from doing what she needs to do?

Ben Robinson

In small numbers, but if there are too many they will block the grass from intaking sun and it will die.

E

Took me a good minute to realize that Val was holding a trash can instead of a comically large phone

Posted so quickly I wasn't expecting it

MysticFunk

Was at work stressing until I saw this update pop up

Allison LY

AHA so I should just leave a SMALL little pile of trash covering the entirety of my room 😏

Munaboop

Very stoic way to say 'nah bih, do that yourself'

Zairenzu

This is just so real. I wish people would think like this more often. Everyone has a reason for doing things, telling someone to do something or not to do something almost never works because there is a reason that the person did/didn't do the thing in the first place. And the reasoning doesn't have to be "logical" because humans aren't fully logical at all times dye to various reasons. But! If you know the person enough or if you're good at understanding how people think you can learn someone's internal logic, which is different than 100% factual logic but everyone makes decisions with a mix of both, and sometimes just on emotions or whatever. But if you know how someone usually reacts with a certain emotion then it's likely they'll act the same again. All this to say is that everyone does things for certain reasons, it might not make sense to you but it often makes sense to them, the best thing to do is to understand why people do certain things and to work with that, not against it. Be nice and supportive if you can. And try to be there for people even if you don't understand them.

Limi

The frame of them riding the bus home with the bigger bin... they're so cute... 🥹

Zairenzu

Yup, as someone with extremely low self esteem because of having undiagnosed ADHD for 30 years and being constantly called lazy or told that I'm not trying hard enough. (When in fact I was trying way harder than the people insulting me and turns out a lot of other adults barely try to do things, even when it's literally their job which is so frustrating. It's like someone telling you you're not mowing their lawn well enough while they sip lemonade and watch. No, I haven't had to do multiple doctors', secretarys' and nurses' jobs over the last 3+ years while suffering with chronic pain that left me mostly bedbound that I learned was caused because multiple doctors kept giving me medication I shouldn't have been taking because they refused to listen to the words coming out of my mouth, why do you ask!?) But yeah, I do see similarities between me and Val, especially in the "why bother, I'm not worth it" way.

Zairenzu

Basically. He's saying that there is a reason why Val's apartment is a mess and if it really was that easy to keep it clean then it would be clean. Val is not lazy, being lazy is not doing something on purpose because you want to. Val obviously feels guilty that she didn't clean up, that means she wanted to clean up but couldn't for whatever underlying reason and she feels bad about it. Audrey is basically just telling Val that there is a reason for things and if you want to change something you don't fix a symptom as that's just a temporary fix, you find out what's causing the symptom and you fix the root cause. And since in this scenario the cause is most likely both mental in nature and Val also doesn't seem to quite know that she's not just lazy, Audrey can't fix the problem but he can work with Val while she fixes the problem. And an example of fixing the cause not the symptom is the trash can. The symptom is trash on the floor but the cause is the trash can being full, so the "solution" is to buy a bigger trash can so it can fit more trash. In reality the trash can being full is also just another symptom, but sometimes fixing a symptom can make it easier to work on the main cause because you don't have to deal with the symptom at the same time. And as someone with similar problems just seeing the trash on the floor or the trash can being full and you not being able to do anything about it but desperately wanting to is exhausting mentally, and if you're exhausted mentally you can end up just trudging through life just doing the bare minimum which really sucks. Especially when people keep calling you lazy when you're basically playing life on hard mode and the people complaining aren't even on normal difficulty, they're on easy, and they assume you are too. Since they can do things easily they can't understand that some people are on hard mode, because that was never even a menu option for them.

Ethan Ima

Yes this is correct. Many bugs, including fireflies as larval, use the fallen leaves as shelter. Additionally some of the bugs decompose the leaves for food, which become fertalizer for the grass. It is only when there is a massive covering by the leaves that there is suffocation issues

ultimateninja98

About to comment the same thing until I saw this lol

Ben Robinson

I used to think so but maybe it’s better as a friendship- I think it’d be most tasteful to make it ambiguous at the end.

Amelia Ross

Thank you I needed someone to say this

UberEats

thanks shen this is awesome

lautaro fernandez

I don't want to be nitpicky but I think actually the leaves are good for the grass and the ground to stay there, it feeds it

The blender looks so so good shen, it's so hard to tell that it's not hand drawn, you should be rely proud of yourself!!

d1000100

Well finally shen got my money. And I loved that extra panel xD

Andrew Frisina

Honestly what a good analogy. I've been coming to terms with the fact I've put a lot of effort in over the years. More than I thought. Since I was always frustrated that I couldn't accomplish more. I hope you can get some healing for your chronic pain soon. I know it's a thing that has a real causal root to it.

Em

Unexpected mbmbam

clevererer

Thats.. oddly insightful, actually

Angel Valladares

This will forever be one of my reaction pictures now.

Adzie

We're eating good this week, yet Audrey can't cook (I said out loud "tf you mean you can't cook??")

Squiggy

Excellent life advice.

alex

reading this while on a walk with my crush

numberers

Animal crossing problems require animal crossing solutions

Abbi McNeely

I keep forgetting Audrey is a boy, he's so pretty 🥺

Max Young

I think it’s really smart to not just follow the “oh this positive friend has come to save the day by cleaning up the mess, oh joy!” trope. Because Audrey’s right, it is just gonna get dirty again unless a bigger change is made

day

i've been following your comics for 10 years and you've been my favorite comic artist for all of them, but somehow this series is more precious to me than anything else has ever been in my entire life. you are literally the most amazing human being to have ever existed and i'm sad there isn't a better way to prove that to you

Kassidy Jose

me when no YKEA shenanigans like pooping in the stage toilet

Evan Garland

I need an Audrey 😭😭😭

Oleksij Kotov

Audrey is like "I'm preciou but, I'LL MURDER YOUR FUCKING FAMILY IF YOU HURT MY FRIENDS" kinda person. And it's perfect

QUINN M.

True, but Audrey's solution being to CHOP THE TREE DOWN is a bit extreme. Just rake the leaves.

Feronach

Leaving the leaves to rot is actually much better for the grass because it replaces nutrients in the soil and attracts worms

ziggying

i thought you said my username and i was jumpscared

hirntod

I appreciate the erm actually :3

Audrey of the pool, sharing his wisdom~

Who's doing a Val + Audrey couple costume this Halloween!

The power of leaf litter and humus

norma3636

A bigger trash can really does make a huge difference. I actually solved my own messiness by buying a few large trash cans for my studio apartment, and it fixed everything. Yeah, they might be ugly, but having trash all over the floor and countertops is even uglier. I have these tiny bins tucked behind the kitchen cabinet doors (built in when the place was constructed), and they’re just completely useless.

Connor Kronk

Fire direction for this chapter to go. Very realistic and it works great. Also absolutely love slasher Audrey!

Tony Lewis

This comic series is definitely worth the dollar a month. Keep up the great work. I love Audrey and Val.

CommanderOw

Reach the heavens through violence Audrey!

Capt_Jeb

is audrey wearing kitty socks?!

Larisa

Yes, leave the leaves! Living in leaf litter is how fireflies and other small creatures survive the winter.

The Mayday Man

I love the emotional pacing, it’s hard to immediately move past an emotional breakdown, and Val’s “THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING!” showed that really well.

Robin Grayson_

Well if you want an ecosystem of bugs and fungi/mold in your room.... /SILLY

akai.flac

i love this so much 🥹

Ra

Also killing the grass is good, it takes so much water, is awful to care for on account of being a mono crop (hence why 1 billion weeds come in) and is generally a mid plant that sometimes just invaids the local ecosystem Signed ur local grass hater

sinclairrr

I think it's very funny how quickly I went "yeah that tracks" when Audrey said he flat out can't cook

shencomix

Thank you! I cared a lot about that frame

wakezmer

Ikea trash cans are the best.

Slimeheart05

“I can’t cook” what a moid

Emily Collins

I want to point out that leaf litter does not kill the grass. The grass goes dormant. If it were dead it wouldn't "grow back." The leaves are broken down by bugs and fungi and things and return nutrients to the soil to help the grass grow the next year. I mean think of all the problems people have with grass throughout the year. Having to add nitrogen and stuff to the soil to make it greener?

Meat

Audrey catches fish with his bare hands like a grizzly bear

Vampatics

Fuck you i love grass

Joëlle

I'm not sure that's how cleaning works, some things in life you really have to just keep doing again and again and again

Mr. Exist

He's hearting all of these comments I don't know what to think

LonMcGregor

I've been away for a bit, so getting to read a bunch together all at once is great. I love the vibe in that last panel with them sitting together at sunset

D-vid

Please don't chop down trees for the sake of grass. Lawns can go fuck themselves <3

Jacob Freedman

This is proof of your unc status, Shen. You’re giving the young’ns life lessons 😌

Malcolm Maes-McCrimmon

There are two wolves inside me, one wants uri and the other wants a wholesome friendship, guess which one I feed

breadbreadbread

I finally caved and paid 2 Australian dollars. I feel so feral for running here but it was worth it

Dzee Szed

So Val is about to get diagnosed with ADHD, huh. "If you can't do simple tasks, then make the simple tasks as easy as possible" is common ADHD advice. e.g. If you can't stand to hang up your clothes in the closet, then remove your closet door, or exchange your coat hangers for simple hooks. Make your garbage can and laundry basket as wide and big as possible so that it's easy to throw your stuff in there. And so on.

Chayce Lewis

Last frame is me getting home on my one day off to realize i have to spend it cleaning

Patrick

*Me when the comic runs out of panels* (Exellent work as always my man! See ya at the next one!)

Lapiniv

Oh, this is genuinely good advice.

Vapis-10’s Big Black Gaping Hole

More fool me for thinking Audrey would identify the root cause being probably depression and low self-esteem, rather than...not having a big enough trash can...

R. K.

Really subverts this cliché and made me really think, how right Audrey's metaphor is. Find the cause first before fixing the many symptoms, so it doesn't develop to an demotivating Sisyphus task.

Blue

shen i know i just subscribed but i need to tell you that raking leaves is hazardous to the health of insects!! it is one of the factors killing fireflies!!! please make sure audrey is moving them into mulch beds instead of disposing of them!!!

skysyzygy

Last bonus panel a real one. Also this series is so healing I love that he helps her take actionable steps!

Wei

Ya got me at the end of the last comic in Tumblr, my hunger for girlfaliure x satiated cannot be satiated

NotAGraveRobber

This is like the era where I couldn't put away my laundry to save my life so I just had a clean bin and a dirty bin instead!

Jackson Knaby

First time in the pattern, this is amazing

Oliver Fulayter

I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED READING YHIS 5 DAYS AGO AHHHH. However, the bonus panel has me /rolling/. Ofc Audrey can't fucking cook 😭 Be too perfect otherwise.

Hugh Janus

I just wanted to tell you that the evil side finally convinced me to join on patreon. I love these series and the little promos you do in the end.

twilight

and actually to add to that, by raking up leaves into a big pile that in of itself will choke out certain parts of the grass. i was actually thinking something similar while reading the comic

twilight

that’s kinda why I hate how prominent lawn mowing culture is. things actually live in your lawns believe it or not, and easing up on it takes less energy and is BETTER for the environment. although I won’t linger on my soap box for too much longer

twilight

i love seeing how much closer Val and Aubrey have gotten over these last couple chapters. as much as people want endgame stuff now, I really like the more close friendship vibe they have rn. It’s led to a lot of really wholesome stories

Blazeball

The detail of Aubrey on their tippy toes in the cat socks is adorable!

chimney

WAIT A DAMN MOMENT, audrey had a flip phone in a previous bumper?? but in the last panel, thats not the same phone! for the sake of continuity, im choosing to believe he is simply showing val a cool small box he just found

Punk

I think my therapist would like this.

shiftdruid

audrey the biodiversity hater... /cancelled

Aleks Day

Ah we just saw Val romantisizing Audrey's cooking and get disappointed I feel you so bad Val

Marie R.Draco

Thinking back about it, I think it's accurate for Audrey to make a faulty metaphor like that x) there is a general good idea but not expressed in the best way ^^
