after a long hiatus, i drew this episode in late january 2009 and titled it "disappearing act". i don't know why i drew this, still thinking that the SP was a dead series, but i knew the idea for this one was nagging me. i don't know how anyone could miss all those commercials for Valtrex on tv, but they always seemed silly to me. i mean, would you be as calm and understanding as the significant other? let's be honest. the answer is "probably not" at best. but i always thought, "what if that significant other was finding out his/her partner had herpes for the first time in this commercial?" and "why hasn't something like Saturday Night Live done something with this before?" it seemed like a great tv skit to me.
there were two versions of this idea, but this one was the best. the other idea was to have the boyfriend disappear in the background vs. below the panel's view. the only issue with this one is if you don't like the idea of the comic's border being recognized by the characters themselves. i thought that made it a funnier. obviously.
