She was the reason he was in danger in the first place, so no I don't even forgive her her anger. If he hadn't been worried about the birds safety he never would have climbed the window.
I don't think her action is excusable, but the anger itself? The emotion? He had the birds as safe as can be when he opened the window and scared them out; standing on the ledge was his overreaction, not her fault.
Of course, I fully expect she's about to do something to prove that he actually <em>wasn't</em> ridiculously overreacting, but that hasn't happened yet.
he is afraid of his mom.
happened to me few times, when i forgot time playing. On the way home Meeting mom coming on her bicycle once. I made a big turn around her, didnt want to catch some hit, hoping at home she would be cooled down already. Maybe she only wanted to hug but that time i didnt want to take the risk.
I....wow. I read all the comic so far in one day, then kept clicking "next" trying to figure out why there were no more pages! lol until I saw the date. I can't wait to find out more!
This is amazing, showing the ups and downs that an abusive parent can have. Very well addressed. But oddly I seem to think there is something deeper, like she's forcing herself to be cruel. That pause seems like she was checking herself, keeping herself from showing him love.
Okay, I can understand her being shaken up and angry with him for nearly getting himself killed...but at the same time, the entire reason he was in that position was that he was scared of her and backing away from her. Her then going on to hit him so hard that he falls to the floor not only justifies his terrified reaction, but is just plain inexcusable.
This is so painful to watch unfold. I mean, Argus can't be more than...seven or eight, maybe, at this point, given he only comes up to about her waist? What could he /possibly/ have done that she could construe as "deserving" this? How twisted does her mind have to be to make this okay to her? Ugh....
