This comic was started by my close friend Lisa. I asked her to buy me a Carmine shirt from Comic Con, and in exchange she wanted to be in my comic. Thus this particular strip was born. I can't quite fathom why I decided to reference Rigaud's portrait of Louis the XIV, it was just the first thing that popped into my head so I went with it.
