Go somewhere

Go somewhere - optimistic geek comics, Frederique

STUART
Hey man, you can’t just lie around on the beach all day…
ARTHUR
No?
STUART
No! Let’s go somewhere!
ARTHUR
You’d be surprised how many places I can be at, while lying here with the eyes closed.

(Re: the cat. Yelling.)
Aaarthur?!
FRED (CONT’D)
Did you bring home a cat?

FRED
He has a bow?
ARTHUR (CONT’D)

ARTHUR
Busted!

Cat, walk

Cat, Walk - optimistic indie webcomic: Frederique

STUART
Is that a cat with you?
ARTHUR
He looked so hungry… also, I had this idea that we can learn from him a lot.
STUART
Like what?
ARTHUR
First, he goes out every night to pick up chicks.
STUART
Pah… Me too.
ARTHUR
Never pays for food?
STUART
That’s me.
ARTHUR
He can also lick his thingy.
STUART
Hmm, I have to check something.
I’ll be in my room.

Special characters

Special characters -- the optimistic indie comics, Frederique

FRED
Hey Arthur, how is your startup job?
ARTHUR
Alright. Since no one else knows how to program, I just pretend to be a developer.
ARTHUR (CONT’D)
So I just write short lines starting with special characters all day.
FRED
Aham. Sounds productive.
ARTHUR
Productive it is alright. I have three todo apps, a project manager and two calendars.
ARTHUR (CONT’D)
Thinking about it, this will be the best documented failure I’ve ever had.

I’ve landed a new job at a startup.

Congrats! Which position?

Photoshop dictator

Photoshop Dictator - optimistic indie comics, Frederique

Stuart
I got inspired by Arthur’s recent Photoshop success. First I wanted to just make fake money, but then I got carried away and created my own kingdom
Fred
Like anyone would need another dictator
Stuart
No need to be sarcastic, you already seem to have signed all the contracts – also, welcome to Stuartland!

Arthur
So I’ve spent the day with pimping up my public profiles.

But just lend me your Porsche for tonight and we are even.
Arthur
Wow, it’s true: money brings all but problems!

Under review

Under review - optimistic indie comics: Frederique

Fred
Have you read Stuart’s couchsurfer reviews? They are excellent:
‘Pervert weirdo wanted us to share a bed with him’
Arthur
Yup, they are fake; I wrote those so that we don’t have any more people coming…
Fred
In this case ‘the goatee guy snores like a tractor’ was very uncalled for.
Arthur
I slightly got carried away.

Sleepover

Sleepover - optimistic indie comics, Frederique

Fred
I thought you will only sleep here if the couch surfer girls are not pretty.
Stuart
They didn’t want to share the bed with me.
Arthur
Sssh guys, some try to sleep.
Stuart
Arthur, why are you here? You have your own bed…
Arthur
No reason. Any of you want to spoon a bit?
