Don't Leave Me

Heart Attacked

My heart needs to take karate lessons or something.

Dear Readers,

In the world of dating/relationships, heartache and heartbreak are inevitable. But everything before that point is pretty awesome, don't you think? It's funny, when people read my comics about dating, they end up feeling sorry or bad for me which is stupid. I'm not crying over boys. I'm mostly just really unlucky and I'm OK with that. My comics are COMICS. They're supposed to be self-deprecating and funny and most of it is exaggerated and only some of it is true. I mean, most of it is not 100% real, like, only 99% of it actually happened.

Thank you for caring about my feelings but please don't feel sorry for me or I'll start drawing happy comics and who wants that? NOBODY.

love always,
Nina

Facebook Friends

Still wanna be (Facebook) friends?


In other news, I'm a total slacker. I got an email from a reader (I still can't believe I have a fan!) asking me to update my comic because <<insert many compliments here>>. And then I felt really bad that I don't update very often. I forget there are people out there that actually read this comic and that is still very weird to me. So anyway, thank you kind person who enjoys reading my comic. You totally made my year. This one's for you ;)

Flattery

Alternative hair model? I'll take it.

Heartbreaker

Me, childish? Psshh...

Recharger

I AM THE WORST COMIC BLOGGER IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES OF THE UNIVERSE! Excuses for not updating: too busy, lazy, sleepy, drunk, sick.. and I still haven't bought a new pen for my Wacom tablet.

Thank you for reading! Please don't stop.

Text. Call. Email. Repeat.

I've been asked a couple times for dating advice (which I'm totally not qualified to give), so I thought I'd offer some general LIFE advice (which I'm totally not qualified to give): Just one message will suffice. Maybe two. 6 text messages, 9 missed calls, and 15 emails are only acceptable to send if the recipient's life is in question.


Warning: Dating or life advice offered by Nina may cause depression, anemia, itchy scalp, alcoholism, involuntary celibacy, a craving for meat loaf, and sometimes even Swine Flu.

Tales of Online Dating

Everyone keeps telling me to try online dating but I think it's weird. Some people I know have had great experiences and wonderful luck, but the others? Not so much. Maybe it's the hopeless romantic in me or something, but I think I'll meet "that guy" in a serendipitous way... offline.

Here's my online dating profile, if I ever try it:

My name is Nina Kim. I'm an award-winning gymnast. Google me!

Play The Game

Apparently Tim thinks I'm a weirdo. But really, I'm just totally clueless. Tim is not very understanding.

It took me 2 hours (I'm SO slow) to make this comic and then, as I was saving it, Illustrator "quit unexpectedly" because the Illustrator God hates me and is trying to teach me a cruel lesson about saving my work more often. I have learned my lesson! Surprisingly, it took me less than an hour the second time around.

Happy Gook

Sorry, my Korean sucks. There may be some grammatical errors (like it matters).

Official Korean to English translation: Friend of mine, feelings me happy.

TURN-OFF

I guess it's kinda mean of me to draw this...

Yes, these comics are embarrassing, but that's the point. A little (or a lot) of self-deprecating humor is good for you, like an apple a day.

I'm a Major Dork...

 

Ugh, I can't help it! Sometimes I can be so awkward...

Super Crummy Week

Recently I've been having one terrible day after another. I'm in a funk and I just can't seem to shake it.
I cannot wait for this week to finally be over!

I have to thank a special friend for reminding me of this Kinks song. It's an awesome song and it really cheered me up :)

And no thanks to my pets who only use me for food and cuddles.

Dating Advice

Broken hearted or cold hearted? This is why I hate dating.

I Swear Too Much

New Year's Resolutions for 2012:

1. Cuss less like a sailor and try to keep it PG-13 in 2012!

2. Don't be sarcastic when making New Year's Resolutions.

3. Learn from last year - don't do the same stupid shit in 2011, like attempting to eat "The Kitchen Sink" icecream sundae on a full stomach. God, that was stupid.

Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope you had a good NYE! I know I did! And I'm going to draw about it soon :)

Going To Hell

Dating Impossible

Phillip says I'm too picky... But really, finding someone you actually like is hard. Also, reciprocation of those feelings is pretty f-ing important.

Time to Get a REAL Job

 Dedicated to my 엄마 (mom) and the things she says... Love you.

Look-alike

I think my dogs are trying to look like me.

Some say dogs and their owners look-alike. Maybe they're right.
