Monday, June 15th 2009 - [1527]The roommate (29 of 35)
Patrick
Sofia
Jane
Sandra
Friends
Date

Original Commentary
Yes, "You snake" is probably one of the worst insults that Sandra uses - Terrence

Modern Commentary
When Patrick said he could explain, this is what he meant - that he didn't do it on purpose this time...

But also, this is why Patrick doesn't hang out with Sandra's friends and why Sandra doesn't mention her friends to him - Terrence

Patrick
Sofia
Sandra
Awkward
Confusion

Original Commentary
In his defense, Patrick has been dating other peoples' girlfriends too. I'm not sure that this would be the best thing to tell Sofia or Sandra right now, though - Terrence

Modern Commentary
Patrick is four years older than Sandra, and I'm pretty sure we hadn't fully thought the implications of that math through. Probably. Hopefully. - Terrence

Patrick
Sofia
Sandra
Mistakes

Original Commentary
This conversation just keeps going from worse to even worse for Patrick, doesn't it. Not that he hasn't brought most of it upon himself. Although his point is very valid, the fact that everyone knows each other is simply coincidental... but I doubt Sandra cares either way at this point. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
Dude keeps hooking up with his sister's friends. He's not doing a great job convincing Sofia that she's not just another notch on the proverbial bedpost here.

He's doing so badly that Sofia isn't going to mention that he just called her brother an annoyance. There's more immediate issues here - Terrence

Issues

Original Commentary
Patrick has commitment trouble? Now who would have thunk it... Sofia was... well, she was hopefully there in panel two. I do feel really bad for her, this hasn't been her week it seems. I was going to have Patrick blushing a little in panel three, but decided against it- it would have been a bit too much. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
Much like Robert back in high school, Patrick fails to meet the moment.

If I had to do this over, we would've given a bit more of a moment between Patrick and Sofia in the morning. Or show him in thought during the day. Give the readers a reason to think that maybe this could've gone the other way - Terrence

Friday, June 19th 2009 - [1531]The roommate (33 of 35)
Sofia
Angry
Get out
Jane
Sandra
Patrick

Original Commentary
Patrick is being very honest with Sofia, because he's serious about her. If he weren't, he'd just tell her what she wanted to hear - Terrence

Modern Commentary
As we've mentioned, Sandra has seen a lot of Patrick's breakups over the years.

Sofia probably could've talked Patrick into it. Probably would've taken a few days. But if you give him ten seconds to decide, this is where he's at - Terrence
