Lena Klein

My heart is breaking for Nick. People suck 💔

Mary Liesenberg

He’s so frustrated… I hope he doesn’t outlet on Charlie. Maybe it starts him talking though…

Adrian

everyone’s got opinions like they do buttholes

Kassie K Wilson

Oh no!! He’s supposed to play rugby the next day??? Shit, Nick 🫣🫣🫣 Swoop in, Char. Your man needs you!!

ACxo

Those strangers have no right to comment on Nick and Charlie’s relationship if I was there I would’ve slapped some people fr

K Lyn

I remember being in this position and unfortunately me & my ex let it get to us and are no longer together. So once again, Alice showing good representation 🙏🏼

Lisette

I want to give him a hug (and a bottle of water) and tell him it’ll all be okay😭

Ulises

Jackasses 😡

Barb

boiling in nick's mind is at the full extent😟 I see

Ginny Moses

my mom has said this exact same thing to me about "missing out" ... smh. Poor Nick :(

Loren Marie 🦋

alice you really said “uno reverse” on the tumblr situation from the novella 😭😭

Nessa

He need a hug☹️

hllwds

you should have mentioned the match many shots ago, my friend

Antonio

I HATE THEM! dude why would you randomly start commenting stranger's relationship

Jess🍂

I can’t watch ☹️😬

🫧

I so can see that “HE could be missing out” sticking with him more than any other part of the convo. 🙃

Emily Scott

What a bold thing to say to someone you don't know

Maddy

This is like watching a car crash in slow motion. IDK how bad it's going to be just yet, but the vehicle seems to be moving fast. 😭

ambie

oh no nick!! i do not see this ending well

arlo🦕

oh no nicholas

Molly Goat
>>161889436

You make an EXCELLENT point. Sai, buddy, you and Otis and Christian are legit some of my favorite characters, but you are currently at least 40% of the problem.

Irem7

I meannnn, if they were not Nick and Charlie, i would agree tbh. I am 31 and i could not even remember how i feel in high school really🤷🏼‍♀️ but they are Nick&Charlie, so shut up😂

CinD

Oh no… the black specks are appearing 🥺 he’s hitting rock bottom and he doesn’t have the tools yet to know how to get out of that mindset

Jo
>>161889408

I'M about to have an emotional breakdown at any minute! 😂😭

Jo

Alice out here killing me slower than molasses. Have mercy!

Beam Bugge

this man must have a lot of self restraint bc if it was me these two would have been bitch slapped immediately both of them

Oliver Midson

The hell is that supposed to mean, random strangers?

Melissa

I’m actually proud of Nick for defending their relationship. Got comments like this all the time 🙄

btripi

otis you were just feeding nick how many shots and NOW you’re gonna say you have a match tomorrow😭

Beam Bugge
>>161890133

ig growing up with david makes you get used to annoying comments like that

Katha

The tension is rising 😬

Elena

Whats next? "Emotional break down" or "outburst of anger"? 😣⚖️🤬

Ania W.

Yesterday I didn't like them. Today I just hate them 🤬

Spice New-Szarvas

Why is that person a poop - like who goes up to someone and comments on their relationship - like what - it’s none of their business - someone give Nick a hug- like now!!!

Courtney McAlexander

As someone who met their husband in middle school (14 for me, 15 for him, ring a bill anyone?) and will be celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary this year, this page is REALLY hitting home for me. The amount of times we have heard this...

Katrina

Oh god Nick is angry . I can see the he might be missing out part sticking with Nick a little more. Oh shoot he has a rugby match the next day that’s not good. Alice pulled a uno reverse card on the whole Novella situation xD I just wanna give him a hug sometimes people suck 😭

Doménica Dolly

Now you all remember you have a match tomorrow? Sure thing.

Susa Nodewald

What the hell. Mind your own business…

Kas

Proud of Nick for walking away even though he is mad. Now he needs to go find Charlie and let him help him calm down. I hope they rest and have a serious talk tomorrow.

gunclevanya

Who the hell are these two little snots? And the only reason they’re goading Nick in the first place is because the guy wanted to get with Charlie himself. I realize DrunkNick didn’t process this, but part of me wishes he externalized his feelings at them instead of whatever is about to happen…

Cole Morin

Yeah piss off to those 2….This is a nightmare lol we need to leeeeeaaavveee let’s goooooo lol 😂….Nick might need to miss the match tomorrow mates….CHARRRLLIIEEEE!

UpstandingGoose
>>161889676

I had the opposite where I doubled down on a HS relationship for the romanticized idea of marrying your first love. But that very rarely works out. Now I'm with my actual love for life post college <3

Elena

So they all keep rubbing it in, one by one! 😣 Charlie, where are you? Nick needs you so much right now! 😥

arie.gelll

I dare these two to share with the world all about their so called "experience". Pease do tell me what it is we're missing out on? I think some of us have enough experience to say that we would trade it for a relationship like N&C

Merel

Can these two people shut up please, thank you!!

Sonny

☹️

Merel

"You know we've got a match tomorrow" as if you're not the ones providing him with shots all night 💀

Powtops

this time I'm really gonna do it

Tina

nick pls no being mean to the rugby lads ☹️

Beam Bugge
>>161890443

what even is the girl's motive behind this, is she trying to be a very inappropriate wingman for her friend or what's going on? either way we probably all agree they're annoying lol

ellen de Ruiter

She wants nick, he wants charlie. To bad for them. Bye bye

Doménica Dolly

This is gonna go downhill, I’m here for it.

Maddy

I don't think Nick is going to be able to play in the match tomorrow 😬

artxsta

what an intense, rapid succession of events, punctuated with the beginnings of another spiral. from tao & elle’s argument and dismissal of nick, to the person crushing on charlie & commenting on their inexperience, to the rugby lads ultimately making nick regret his choices by reminding him of the consequences (which, never do to someone while they’re drunk or they will freak out), nick can’t catch a break. the daily page format really calls for the analysis of each panel and the effects on nick’s psyche, but i’m anxiously waiting for the pin to drop. it hasn’t even been long but it’s felt like years (i’m an anxious wreck too, can’t you tell) poor boy just needs to find charlie & go to bed now :(

Fauzi Hamadeh

I have intense feelings of anger towards these two nameless characters.

Nikki

I don’t ever remember seeing Nick this angry before. Can literally see the dark descending on him with the changing backgrounds 😣 He can’t last much longer like this. Also (no disrespect to amazing writer/illustrator Alice), but I do not like these strangers and they need to politely f*** off 😇

Cody

What does "Steady on, mate!" mean in this context?

Ania W.

And their smug faces 🤡

lubie rzeczy

Detonation in 3... 2... 1...

Carly Louise
>>161891377

It's a Britishism we'd usually use if someone bumps into us or someone seems 'unsteady' on their feet

Jo Mary

Oh dear Nick hungover time tomorrow Charlie he needs you now come to his rescue 💜🫶🏻

Kay

I doubt whatever is being "missed out on" is all that

Carrie Lindley

Going forward, I predict Nick and Charlie are going to hear a lot of this from peers, especially when they head to college and meet new people who haven't witnessed firsthand the phenomenon of "Nick and Charlie." So, silver lining time: because it is happening now, while they are still seeing each other every day, they can figure out how to handle other people having opinions about their relationship. They can learn how to tune them out, and how to rebuff their unwanted comments. They can learn to trust one another and the strength of their relationship. Now, obviously that resolution is a few difficult conversations into the future. BUT, doing that work now is going to make the separation of university a bit easier to manage. So, it's all going to be ok. Eventually. Deep breaths!

EC

It would be cool if the heartstopper universe was meta and SHE read the comics. I think after the fact, she’d feel like she’s the one missing out…

Brandy78

I loathe those two strangers! Ughhh I need this night to end!

Beth Yoshida

Ugh! Charlie come get your man and kiss him. They're clearly jealous!

Laura

I know this feeling! I got asked that a lot. I met my husband when I was 16. We got married when I was 23.

gunclevanya
>>161890443

i think part of her is playing wingman, and the other part is just how living on SM has caused people in general to toss tact and self-restraint in the trash in real life as well, where they love the sound of their own voices more than noticing how their words affect others…

Cliff
>>161890443

I don't think there's a motive, just that she was actually surprised that Nick hadn't dated anyone else, because she could never picture that life for herself.

ashley ✨

oh nick pls remove yourself from the situation and get some fresh air :(

ZooKeeperHere

Ugh I met my partner young and this same crappy rhetoric has been following us our whole lives. It’s exhausting and we have now been together for two decades and people still say it.

Theaterboi27

Such nasties these two, piss off!! Seriously, who spews this kind of crap to anyone?? How amazingly invasive! Inebriated Nick is going to erupt. Please please, go find Charlie, go home, pass out, and talk tomorrow morning. And you rugby lads contributed to Nick's current condition. BTW, it's miserably depressing reading this unhappy page while watching our new anti LGBTQ dictator take the oath of office here in the USA. Oh, my stomach is all tangled. .

Steph

Nick go find Charlie and go home. Sleep it off and then talk tomorrow. No talking needs to happen tonight.

Sarah Duzynski
>>161892720

It is depressing reading this page today considering who is being inaugurated. I am very stressed and anxious for what the next four years will bring.

Ania W.

Alice, you're having fun while we're having murderous thoughts 😂

Mareike

The absolute audacity of these strangers🤬 And also great friends who make you do shots and then tell you that you've got a match on the next morning and you have had too much?! Pffft, better get out there asap.

Brin
>>161892675

Same. My partner and I have been together since we were teenagers and I’m the only person my partner has ever been with. Neither of us feels like we missed out on anything; we feel lucky

Gabriela Pérez

As the fool who decided to listen to people with "you’re missing things" I just want to yell at Nick: DON’T LISTEN!

Meike
>>161890975

”You should try rugby, it’s good for releasing negative energy.“

E

He's really going through it

Juliana Barhorst

Me to those people: And who asked you?!? 😠😠 Nicky needs to sit somewhere and calm down while Charlie comes back. He is definitely not going to be able to play the match he needs to take care of himself! 🥺😭

Frances

Im nervous Nick might start a fight with Charlie….

Tanya
>>161889676

High school was 35 years ago for me and I still remember those couples who were attached at the hip and seemed made for each other. I am a bit curious about what happened with them but not curious enough to look into it on Facebook which brings me nothing but misery. It's funny how we are so invested in N&C being lifelong partners while being aware that it's not necessarily ideal to be that locked into a relationship at such a young age. I suppose it just comes down to whether you can grow together which is rare. Anyway, I love the username UpstandingGoose + the profile pic. 🤍🪿🤍

DioVosje

Nick is gonna faint… but Charlie will catch him (I so hope he will)

Rosie

I was not prepared for this page 😭 Going through all of this one page at a time is excruciating!

Kristen

He’s drunk and spiraling, not a good combo with all the anxiety and stress in his brain…and in a large crowd! This is headed sideways! 😬🫣

E

If only Charlie was there, too. I could totally see him pulling Nick into a heated kiss and flipping off those people behind his back 😄

Justin S.

Nick’s angry face is what I need today… feel for him!

Loveislove

Well - thank God he's walked away from those random knobs at least but jeeze louise he is taking it from all sides!

Evergreen

Oh NOW we remember the rugby match tomorrow. 🙄

RO

I feel like nicks gonna end up vomming in the bathroom at this point… Charlie please come get your man 🙏🏼

Kela87
>>161891206

They basically just need to f*** the hell off, that's it.

Theaterboi27
>>161892720

Agree, Sarah. Now, more than ever before, is the time for our LGBTQ community to stand together to prevent our rights from disappearing and fight for the rights we still deserve. Today is a dark day for those of us here in the USA. We must rely on our LGBTQ family worldwide for massive support to prove that Love Truly Wins Over Hate. I, for one, have embraced this magical world of Heartstopper as an uplifting glimpse of how our world can and should be. Thank you, Alice, for allowing us to be a part of something poignant, joyful, and incredibly inspiring.

Angie Michaelis

Okay, I was giving those two the benefit of the doubt yesterday, but now they’re pissing me off too, especially with their smug faces in the third panel. Such a gross thing to say. Also, a rugby match tomorrow?! Wow. The rugby lads did not plan well for that with all those shots. That is going to be one hungover team. 🤢 Nick needs his Charlie now. 🥺

Emily Hopkins

Fuck that guy... who the heck does he think he is. 😡

Angie Michaelis
>>161892675

Yep, we dealt with this too, even the “you may be missing out” commentary. It’s so gross and inappropriate.

Angie Michaelis
>>161891728

Yes, this is such a good point. People love to comment on long distance relationships too. This is just a painful episode on their way to strengthening their relationship even more.

Elena

I'm not far away from my emotional break down now, if that's going to continue in that way! 😰

Megan

Poor Nick. What a shitty shitty thing to be told by people that don’t even know anything about you, your partner or your relationship. 😒😠😤 Just so disrespectful. 😡 God Nick needs a hug so bad right now.🥺 I feel like the poor boy is about to break. 💔😢

Glenn

Those people Nick's been chatting to are complete jerks but in all honesty, talking about missing out because you've only dated one person is not limited to the LGBT community. (It sucks either way)

Bina

fuck these two fr, i can’t believe they think it’s okay to be this intrusive and rude to someone they don’t know about such a personal topic. if only Charlie had been there too, i just know he wouldn’t have held back on telling them off 😌

Brittney

Oh shit... seriously people should honestly shut up. Like there's already a lot going on for Nick like he is so ready to almost snap like our poor baby. I understand people want to understand things especially for those who's in relationships but sometimes that line can be drawn way too far... And sure, they may have not had the experience at the beginning of their relationship but hello.. they were scared if anything, and plus Nick was struggling to find his sexuality, it's not easy as it is. Like some people in the LGBTQ+ company can know their sexuality immediately and some take a bit longer which is perfectly normal to happen. But oh boy I'm a little nervous to see what comes next

Lissie

Oh no!!!! Nick is gonna crash out so hard 🥺

hwalker

For fucks sake, people! You don’t even know this couple and then u just say something like this?! 😭 poor nick

Raeee✨

“Missing out” is such a weak argument anyway (they’re teens, I get it). If you’re happy with someone (more like head over heels here) then that is enough. Their love IS enough. They share a deep connection, trust, and respect. There’s nothing to “miss out” on when you already have what serves you. You learn to grow together and face the future with the foundation you’ve built. Yes, they’re young themselves, but when you know you know. 🤷🏻‍♀️ And you sure as hell don’t owe anyone an explanation on something they’ll never understand!

camelotcrusade

When you're this young, you don't know hard it is to find someone you can do more than kiss, someone you can share a life with...

Brynn Rabinowitz
>>161898650

I think part of it is that that guy at least is jealous, though not an excuse. People really do not think before they speak. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Angie Michaelis
>>161890369

I agree, in his state of mind he’ll be worried that Charlie is missing out. If Charlie were there he’d laugh right in their smug faces. “Have you met Nick Nelson?! Not missing out on anything.”

Lolli98

What kind of shameless people are these?😠 The best thing you can do is to walk away from them...so Nick does. But they got him angry now. Honestly, I can't take this tension much longer.🤯 Is there a breakdown/argument about to come or not??

lexi

i know this is about generally finding love young but the idea of "missing out" is something bi people hear ALL THE TIME when it comes to not dating a certain gender bc you're with another, and it is EXHAUSTING!!! really wonderful page Alice you can feel Nicks feelings bubbling up so clearly

Jmejimz

Oh …not a match tomorrow 🫣

Ali Michelle

WHO ARE THESE RANDOM PARTY GOERS!? 😵‍💫🫠

Angie Michaelis

This whole evening is so beautifully drawn and is fantastic plot-wise and for Nick’s emotional growth, but reading it one page at a time might actually kill me. It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion. 😅😭🫣 Well done, Alice!

ucfnurse

Oh no and Nick has a match tomorrow!!!😯🫨🙌❤️‍🔥🤞🫷🏽💗🌟🏉🏟️☕️🥯🍶✌️🕊️☮️

Noemiette

I despise this thing of "experience" and "missing out on stuff" if you dont date multiple people. What does it even mean ? If you're in a good relationship, where you feel good and loved, what ? You're gonna ruin it cause "What if there's better out there ?!". That's stupid. There is nothing wrong with having dated a lot of people, but the shaming of the people who dont is idiotic. Is there a minimum of people you need to date before it's acceptable for you to settle down ? A sort of quota ? ==' (Gosh I feel the pressure in Nick building up and up and up. He is gonna blow up very soon. Who will be the victim ? We will see :/)

David C Witkin

I don't know why Nick turned away in order to blow up. If anyone needs a proper full-on Nick Nelson smackdown it's those two smug, gossipy little bitches planting poisonous word-seeds and then giggling in the background. Someone is going to catch it hot, but I doubt it will be the person who deserves it. Unless Nick channels his anger into sex, and grabs his lovely Charlie (consensually) for some sweet, hot, boyfriend love, just to show those two grinning bastards that he and Charlie are more experienced than they are, and he ain't missin' out on nothin'!

Diana N
>>161892720

I still can’t believe I’m not stuck in a nightmare on election night and hoping I’ll wake up and orange hitler 2.0 will have lost. Instead I feel lost and I’m worried because I want my rights to love my girlfriend freely, get engaged and married. I want so much more to change for the better for my niece not watch her rights taken away before she’s out of kindergarten. Heartstopper is my salvation so much of the day. Thank god for Alice and the gift she gave to us. As for the rest of this dark day I’m going to honor MLK Jr. and watch Heartstopper.

zara ahmed !!

that’s so rude whooooo cares 😭

Nathalie
>>161904820

I don’t think that is the best thing for them to do now with Nick this angry

Loveislove

I don't know who is going to experience the wrath of Nick but given the last darkened and ragged panel, I'm going to say the rugby lads may be on the receiving end even if they are not totally deserving for choices Nick made too. When Nick FINALLY makes it past this obstacle course outside to Charlie, Tao and Elle may be there showing their dissatisfaction with him and Charlie will probably be wondering what the fuck has been going on for the last little while. How it all goes down is going to depend upon Nick's final emotion, which unfortunately is currently anger.

Ariel

Oh Nicky😭❤️

Calfic

So I feel no one is at their best tonight. Elle, Tao, and Tara all have their own stuff going on, so I feel even if maybe they know he isn't doing great, they can't really help. Darcy , is most likely dealing with their terrible family. What possessed the rugby lads to drink so many shots and encourage Nick too? None of them will be at their best tomorrow! And maybe instead of just telling him to stay steady or something, they could sit him down, and give him water or something, and maybe text Charlie, because they probably havee his number. And I have no words for that duo of friends. Even if you think that not dating around is unhealthy or whatever, you don't just randomly bring it up with a stranger. And I feel like the dude is still kind of angling to get with Charlie. (He is over his toxic boy phase, dude, not going to happen in any univrse!) I'm glad, at least that Nick had the presence of mind to stick up for their relationship. They CERTAINLY are not safe for his spiral.

Claire

Wow -- people need to just mind their own business. Nick is going to be really struggling to keep it together. What and evening at the pub - music was great - but otherwise everyone is going through it.

Julie

Why are these two random strangers being so extremely rude asking such personal questions? Even saying, "Your boyfriend's fit!" is so inappropriate. I'm glad Nick took the high road and bailed.

Dionne Lakey

The complete breakdown of the shape structure of these panels here and two pages ago when Nick was pushing through the crowd and thinking about his parents fighting, is so clever. His world view is breaking down, the secure structure that he believes it to be, is my interpretation.

Hannah Howden

Well f you too then damn also BOYS have you never heard of the 48 hour rule??? 0 alcohol 48 hours before a game!!! My coach would’ve had your heads

Koko

When are people going to start minding their own business and accept that everyone has a different love story? Damn. I know this is a comic but still. Damn.

Kim

Novella flipped. Alice quit playin'. xx

SoraNoRyu
>>161910777

from previous conversation I guess one of them is into Charlie, so they might be mean to Nick out of jealousy?

mal

Oh no nick is about to breakdown, poor baby😢💔

hayley

yeah we are definitely gonna get a drunken breakdown/panic attack

Beam Bugge
>>161891368

i'd say that one time with harry at the cinema comes pretty close (but if sober angry nick got into a fight then who knows what drunk angry nick might do 😳)

hayley
>>161916662

and the lads are definitely gonna get the little burst and then aka cue charlie being concerned (i don't think this leads to a fight just nick breaking down)

Nikki
>>161891368

Very true. I suspect drunk angry Nick won’t be quite as… tame? 😕

GirlHero

nah, bro. what does ‘shopping around’ prove? you are just looking, in all the wrong places, for your favorite version of YOU, imo. that’s selfish? that’s how people outgrow each other. i’m working on the version of myself that i love, and want to grow alongside someone else. that’s hard! a work in progress. if n+c don’t learn the right tools like honest communication, vulnerability, accountability…it won’t matter if they are six hours apart or in the same room 🤷🏽‍♀️.

Ignacia

OH NO match tomorrow 😓 I guess hangover aren’t as bad when you are younger but uyuyuy is he in trouble

Charlotte le Chaton

I want Charlie to hold him and tell him everything will be fine 😭

Mike Maxwell

I hope Nick does have an explosive tirade right there. Get all those feelings out. As someone who bottles things up myself, it feels great to let loose even if it startles some people. You go for it, Nick

Nils

Oh Nick, please you need help

James

Uh oh

Nyssa Rawther 🍉

Okay, party peoples being extra inappropriately nosey, kindly piss off. IT WILL BE OKAY, NICK!!!

Eileen

Uh oh 🤭

Blissnfaith

Ms. Singh is not going to be happy with a hungover captain tomorrow, I fear.

Elspeth Fougere

Bleh! 🤢🤬 What creeps! Like its any of their business! Rude!

RCM

Good grief! The conniving SMIRKS captured in that first panel alone have me so ANGRY ( and I am generally not an angry person, but this duo....grrr again!). You can see that both of these asshole's are not drunk. Their eyes are "clear" (see their normal size pupils compared to Nick's?), they emphasize leaning in towards one another to come across as "concerned friends," then do a 1-2 punch, using triggering words like "inexperienced" (aka for Nick: you are not good enough) and bullshit implications like "HE could be missing out" (aka in Nick's mind: you're going to be abandoned by Charlie for not being enough...just like you weren't enough for your dad to stay, just like you aren't enough now)...and they clearly got in Nick's head. Sure, he basically says, "we're good, thanks," but we see that encroaching darkness around Nick, and his blushed/flushed cheeks suggest this question of experience very much was a fear of Nick's AT ONE POINT (like ages ago!). Then, much to my chagrin, we get a heightened number of drunk bubbles all over the page, but now, they land inside the 3rd panel, surrounding Nick's head to show his emotions and thoughts are definitely distorted from the alcohol and late night (and no food or water!). We see his fear and anxieties coming out as anger, and then Nick bumps into Sai who sloshes his pint (and I'm sorry Sai but STFU because you contributed to this!). As he continues to look for Charlie (he still knows he must get to Charlie, sweet love), Nick grows even more blinded by an array of confused and fluctuating emotions. Being reminded of the rugby match hits Nick EXTRA hard...he feels like he just fucked up the "one thing" he is actually good at, and that bottom panel portrays exactly how LOW he feels right now (breaking my heart, Alice, breaking my heart). Nick reverts to his closed eye coping move again. Sometimes it's meant to shut things out and sometimes it's meant to shut things in, but right now, it's all TOO MUCH. There is no safe space for his mind to go to because his mind is working under an altered perception of reality...and those black dots around him are so (perfectly) erratically placed, and the panel is all contorted just like Nick's heart and thoughts. It definitely makes me feel like there is a pressure cooker situation looming. But, to be fair, Nick HAS been feeling all of these emotions in bits and pieces for the last 6 months or so, but at a pace where he could find space to regain "control" (or deflect enough with his "HA HA ,I'm Fine" to essentially rebury them). But the alcohol and late night and concert and big crowd and Tao and Elle fighting and flashbacks of his parents fighting and these two doozy duo of jerks telling him he isn't enough have all sped up time so our boy is taking hit after hit and is so discombobulated...he wants a recharge, but, right now, I'm getting more of a CHARGED vibe from Nick...(and I get it Nick...it is a lot. I know you are so tired of it being a lot, and for all these years)...

Elsie 3

They have a MATCH tomorrow?!?!?!!!! How did no one mention this before?!! Like perhaps, oh, I dunno…when we were passing out shots like candy?!?!!!!!

Ana Alicia Aranda De Contreras

Nick is getting more and more frustrated and the bad thing is that he doesn't take it out or vent to anyone or Charlie even though he knows something is wrong with him 🥺😭💔

Angie Michaelis
>>161939287

Great analysis, as usual! Oh man, I hadn’t thought about how Sai and Otis’s comments would make him feel like he failed the “one thing” he’s good at. 😭

Murgy

Oh no, those are some stupid things to say. I would say no offense to them but I'd be lying: You do not ask those kinds of questions to people. Everyone is different and you don't get to imply someone is missing out because they've not dated much or at all. Asking if either of you have dated before is a bit prying for someone you've not spoken to before, but outright implying that someone might/should feel inexperienced for that, and more heavily implying that your partner is missing out (likely a bit of "my mate likes him, it'd be nice if he got a date" going on) is frankly rude at best in my opinion. Now I'm not going to assume they're bad people, nosy yes, but not bad. And its likely they see their questions as innocent given its unlikely asked with malicious intent, but they've really hit upon a nerve at exactly the wrong time for Nick's mental health. Thankfully he hasn't exploded at them, but their comments have hurt Nick and made him cross/angry. Undoubtedly it's going to come out in quite an explosion from Nick. He needs to talk, and we know he will eventually, but seeing the issues growing is painful.

Coca

Is it just me or does the person on Nick’s left. (Our right) look like his father… at least a little bit? Feels a little symbolic in a sense.

Ania W.
>>161893374

I think Alice enjoys our lively and emotional response to these pages. This only proves how brilliantly they are drawn and written. I think that many of us honestly hate people like these two and have met many similar people in our lives. And yes, I could forcibly remove these two from the party. Because judging by their behavior, Nick is certainly not the only victim of their "nice" comments.

Jennifer Paddock

Oh wow - the way none of the panels are square anymore just really puts you in Nick's headapace!

Bloomin’ smol cuppa

These people are (inserts multiple swear words here). People don’t need to have experience or sow wild oats. People can meet their match and that is that. 😩
