Lyndon, this is cheating. You skipped one to two strips explaining who the hell the European is. Yes, you've told me why, but it's still cheating.
In case anybody else out there is wondering, the guy is Rune (Ru-nee?), Dana's Fiancee. Glen-Andrea fans can go relax now. WingZ, take a chill pill, your favorite character's hitched permanently.

When did this "Dana's fiancee" happen? Is this the first strip about Dana's fiance?
What? Dana found someone in Europe. It's a guy. I can give backup stories but not on the published strips. Maybe online.
Confused? So are the Beerkada.
Dana's getting hitched is like Pebbles getting pregnant. It just happened. And Glen's less interested in explanations as his need to get back to his unpregnant date Racquel.
Who is Rune? He's every guy your female friends get married to. He's the jerk that stupid girls fall for. He's the sensible guy the flighty girls will leave in a couple of years. He's the kind of guy who knocked one of the Conguanco sisters over in the old world. She's doing Penshoppe commericals, then BAM! She's pregnant, and they get married. Do we really want to know the guy's character? Should we care? Aren't there people in our own lives right now who we don't know enough about as it is?
And what about Dana? Dana's the girl who was a big part of our lives back in campus, and now, years later, she's a background character. Everytime we hear from the Danas in our lives, they travelled the world, they marry, they leave one job for another, they get separated. It's like pressing the NEXT button on our DVD remotes. And here's a spoiler: Dana loses her connection with the rest of the gang. All you're left with your personal Dana's are stories from college and obscure updates from people you both know in the past.
Things will happen in our lives, and we won't get any explanations for it. We won't get any closure. And we won't have time to heal or adjust or learn from it, because the next set of events will occur tomorrow. Or an hour from now.
You know, all you had to do was to make one or two strips to set it up nicely. No questions asked, no explanations needed, if ever. There would have been no need for you to rant off like that.
Bro, this is a comic strip, not real life. Although I can appreciate you trying to approximate the confusion and uncertainty of real life, I don't see why it had to be done here. What was the big deal anyway?
hay.. I thought that the others would continue posting the strips here pero kulang kulang so here you go.. para sa nakamiss ng mga strips since Sept 21 when dana came back:
there were no new strips for sept 28 and 29 because of the typhoon..

for some reason, philstar (online) printed the same strip as yesterday. i think they printed an old psychocow strip on the newspaper. contrary to what you guys might think, today's strip was supposed to have been runé's first appearance. in this strip, rune went to the videoke party of the gang where dana introduced him to be her fianceé. i dunno, philstar might have lost the strip or something. this came as a shock to the beerkada gang (and possibly to the readers as well) but unfortunately, it didn't get to be printed. the next 'storyline' is a sort of side story in between the karaoke event earlier and the succeeding/continuation of dana's return.
i think this is the strip you were looking for B. personally, I wanted to see more strips on runé and dana's romance but alas, we'll have to settle for this. i hope L posts the high res strip here.

and with that, you are now up to date with this storyline. watch out for the coming one's tomorrow. and please don't expect me to post the succeeding strips here again. if i have the time, i will, but if i'm not able to, im sorry, i just hope somebody else would do it. thanks!

--> there was a strip/explanation.. it just wasn't printed by philstar..
There would have been no need for you to rant off like that.
--> what? readers can rant, the cartoonist cannot? you know L and I accept comments, and i think the purpose is to get a reply, right? i know, L should have just posted the strip here, it would have been a lot easier for him.. i guess sinisipag sya that time na magpost in writing instead of drawing..

What was the big deal anyway? --> i don't think it was a big deal but from what i read here, it was you guys you asked.. L just answered (and you know he rarely answers questions about his strips) if L or I was mixing comic strip with real life, don't you think it's just the two of us? don't you think the readers (including me because I am a reader) do that too? You included?
Did we hit a nerve? --> which one? :D -- Edited by psychoCOW at 02:41, 2006-10-13
Oh don't get me wrong. L has every single right to "rant". He can do anything with the strips, for that matter. It's just that, in the years that I've been a Beerkada fan/mascot/critic/flamer, I have never seen L defend a storyline that strongly. It's true; all you guys can check out the old Beerkadets egroup archives, and I dare you to find any post by Lyndon remotely similar to this.
So I'm asking again, what's going on?
Lei: On "real life", that's not what I meant. Tsk tsk.
ah.. it's just that you haven't been arguing with L on various storylines as much as I have so I'm not surprised with his answer. I do know that he rarely answers these kinds of questions publicly. Don't you think this might be a culmination of L's answers to all applicable questions with regards to his storylines?
what happened to your cowhide? if i wasn't used to you by now, i would think that you're being a little too sensitive lately, more than usual that is.

Oh, nothing really. I just say it as I see it. And the way I see it, I don't like storylines compromised, one way or another. Get my drift?
