    I like the bright green and pink colours, and the darker, less saturated background with the same colours. It’s so simple, but also really well made. The anatomy, the way the image is arranged, the expression - good job!


  • The last few pages hit kinda close to home. I don’t know if it was the artist’s intention, but as someone who got bullied a lot as a child, I’m always scared that a friend / loved one teasing me might bring those memories back and ruin the moment like it just happened in this comic. Sure, blasting someone with bubble tea is more than just “teasing” and inappropriate in a public setting, but my point remains the same.


  • The original post made me think it’s probably a teenager because they had internet access, but I can see how a younger child might think their parents wouldn’t notice a charge. To a child, their parents usually pay with that card and never talk about it again. And because even young children have fairly unsupervised internet access nowadays (the post is from 2023), that sounds like a reasonable explanation to me.

    I understand the “frustration” of wanting to buy something that you can only get online, but you don’t have a bank account or anything. I was in pretty much the same situation as a teenager. When I was around 17 years old, I once ordered something and paid cash-on-delivery, but that’s incredibly inconvenient. Using your parents’ card can be incredibly tempting, which isn’t an excuse to do it, but looking at it from this perspective, I can understand their motivation.
