The Life of Ted!: "Bro Hug"
Posted: Friday July 12th, 2013

When I decided that Ted was going to move out (literally months ago), I knew the show of affection was going to be crucial. Ted is, for all intents and purposes, my best friend in the comic. And like any best friend, you might as well just go ahead and say "brother". My best friend, Richard, is like that. I'd do anything for him. When I moved away for college it was harder to leave him behind than most of my family. That might not be the nicest thing to say where my family is concerned, it's the truth. I've even devised schemes over the years in an attempt to get him to move somewhere near me. But his life has taken him in a direction that makes such a move difficult.
Fictional though he is, I do love Ted. But in my head he's more like my child than like my brother. I feel like I've been taking care of him all these years. Protecting him from the world. And now, he's headed out to make the world his own. Okay don't look at me like that, I'm not getting overly emotional or some shit. It's just a comic.
Lots of you, along with your support, have sent me questions about where all this is headed. Well, if I told you that, there'd be no real point in reading right? Just stick it out for a bit. See if you like it. Participate! That's why the forums are here.
See you next week where we'll most likely be back to 3 days. Have a good weekend folks and call your "best friend".
