Lies

It’s so hard for me to admit to some of my friends what I actually do with my time.  The blank stares I get when I do make me feel creepy.

Transcript: English

Two women are standing in a bar with drinks.
Jenny: So Lisa, what did you do this weekend?
Lisa imagines the following dialogue in a thought bubble.
Lisa: Well our guild's healer finally hit 80, so we ran her through some dungeons to get geared. Oh and on the way I got exalted with Wyrmrest, so now I have those awesome bracers. I stayed up Saturday night fishing for Mr. Pinchy but gave up around 5am. And Sunday I spent farming for mats and powerleveling my shaman alt!
Jenny: OMG, you're so cool!
Lisa's fantasy of coming clean about she spends her time bursts and she's brought back to reality.
Lisa: Saturday, I uh, ran and 10k and went to a wine bar with friends. Um, Sunday I took a yoga class and, uh...worked in the garden.
Jenny: OMG, you're so cool!
A blue cat holds up a sign pointing at Lisa that says 'Liar."

    So true, sadly. When asked what I’ve been up to I can’t say all the exciting and dramatic stuff my Werewolf roleplaying group got up to so I say I ‘worked on writing some stories’. Kinda sorta almost true…

    Anyway, good luck on this comic succeeding. Is it your first webcomic?

  2. maryvarn

    Thanks very much! My first comment, so exciting. :) Yep, my first webcomic. A slow start, but I’ll have more up soon. Have fun with your Werewolf roleplaying group!

  8. latusthegoat

    Love it!

  9. Tseran

    Good luck going for Pinchy if you still haven’t gotten him. It took me 7 catches of getting him to finally get the pet. *grumbles* But now I can finally say…..WHO’S YOUR CRAWDADDY!

  10. Wazzle

    This comic spoke to me in ways that make me feel small and naked.

    Srsly, I’m the same way

  11. Jasra

    LOL forwarded the website to my wife and told her “although the comic is called lies” it is the truth! me and my wife both play wow (of course im much more into it than her). But i will surely stay tuned. thanks

  15. Kiveya

    Good stuff – so true. You’re bmarked with me, I’m looking forwards to seeing more comics.
    I get this same situation with my coworkers, I play the “Oh I got together with some friends for a game night” and amuse myself with what they assume that means.

  16. Lalage

    How true this is ;)

  17. Andrew

    There was a time when me and my gf were like that. I had to quit cause it was taking over my life completely. Situations like this one were always happening. And I must say… I miss those times! :)

    P.S. I added your RSS feed :)

  18. bumbletowne

    Oh my god, get out of my head.

  19. Lindsey

    The key is to do a little of both, so you have something to talk about with your “uninitiated friends.”

    (At work) “What did you do on saturday?” “Went grocery shopping and took a walk.” (actually same trip.)
    (With friends) “What did you do on saturday?” “We kicked ass and took names.”

  20. Zeryn

    Muaha! I love it! I’m sometimes hesitant to mention my WoW playing to other women cause I guess girl gamers are still more rare than they should be, but older women? Forget it, they have no idea what the heck it is. I keep trying to get my mom to play though, and I’m not giving up on her yet. ;) Great comic!

  21. Cameron

    Wow, first one Ive read and I’m in love. because this same thing has happened to me.
