Hey there, reader. It’s Heather here, the creator of ThingsMyExSaid. Some of you have maybe noticed some serious cartoon silence on my end here over the past few months. It wasn’t you, it was me. And I’m still taking some time. But I wanted to reach out and let you guys know some of the cool developments that are going on behind the scenes here at TMXS.
First of all- it speaks so much about you guys and the content readers like you have provided for this website, that despite my complete and utter lack of posting or publicizing, we’re still getting several hundred visitors a month! And the quotes keep coming! If you’ve submitted a quote in the last several months, just know it didn’t go unnoticed and it’s safely incubating in our giant quote database, faring much better than all the houseplants I’ve neglected over the years.
The main reason the website has been so quiet is we’ve been planning our official launch celebration in New York City- more details to come on that later. Just expect some fun and wacky shenanigans coming up around the New Year.
In the meantime, because I am that needy, I have a request: What are these two men are conversing about in this 1950s romance comic? I invite you to post in the comments section below.
What are these men talking about? You decide!
Cheers!
Sometimes, we all need some space.
Sometimes, taking that space makes you an insensitive jerk.
It’s that time of year, again! When your eyes are assaulted by red and pink in all the shop windows, and when the conditioning to associate chocolate with sex kicks into high gear. (Man, I could use some chocolate, right about now…)
It’s almost Valentine’s Day! And in honor of that, we here are TMXS are taking off our lazy hat and putting on our re-purpose apron. That’s right, we are going to give you a countdown to the big day itself, when we will introduce our first new comic of 2015!
Remember this?
And it’s not that I’ve been totally lazy, if you’re wondering where the regular posts went. (Dare I flatter myself that you’ve wondered?) In the few months since regular updates stopped happening I moved countries, fulfilled two separate performance contracts in different states and saw a workshop production of a show that I’m writing go up across the pond. #humblebrag
But really the reason why I took a break was a nice dose of heartache. No, not another failed attempt at a relationship (although that happened, too), but some genuine TMXS-related heartache. We got rejected for a grant that would have made TMXS: The Series become reality right at your fingertips, and after riding that roller coaster of emotions it was time for a little break.
But like anyone who ignores the notion that insanity is the doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results, we’re back! After all, isn’t that what love is all about?
This week’s quote is almost sweet. She’s jealous. They were at a crappy party. And he’s in love with her. Actually.
If he comes to terms with dropping the “L word” by surrounding himself with other women, I wonder what his proposal’s going to be like?
Wow! Turns out finishing a masters program makes one busy. But I’m happy to report the degree is complete, and I’ve bid goodbye to bonny Scotland and returned to the hustle and bustle of New York City. And that means back to business! We’ll be switching our posts to every Tuesday and Thursday, so that I can expend some of my TMXS energy on developing some new plans for the site. More to come on that soon.
But now, the reason why we’re all here. The quote of the day! So, are you ready?
In all honesty, some people take a long-ass time to get ready. She could be one of those people. But this guy still sounds like a tool. Nap time? Wake up, dude, and recognize all that fuss was for you! Next, she’ll take less time and he’ll tell her she’s letting herself go.

Gag.
Ohmigosh! As a matter of fact, it was! How’d you guess? You must read my mind. That’s because we are purrrrfect together. Best pickup line, ever! Here are my panties.

We’re back! And don’t worry, we’re keeping it classy.
I wonder if he found them.

Luckily enough, all of my relationships have failed so quickly they’ve never come to divorce. So I really don’t know anything about it. But honestly, this seems pretty whack.
The “good” news? He’s on his second lawyer now. And somewhere in between all the property, claims, and collateral damage are two broken hearts.

Wow!!! Today we celebrate 1500 subscribers! That’s amazing, you all. I’m so happy that this little site I started almost a year and a half ago has reached so many people. It’s been great fun to share everyone’s stories on the site, so far. I’m looking forward to the next phase of Things My Ex Said! Let’s keep the dialogue going! 😀

You’re studying! Or working. Or otherwise busy. So really, it’s your fault that I’m flirting with other women.
Also… MySpace? Seriously? This must be a dated quote, or this guy’s flirting skills are back in 2005.

Children clearly fall under the category of Very Big Deal. Nevermind your own, putting up with somebody else’s kids would be a lot to ask.
But there has to be a better way to say this.
