Man...that hits close to home. Hard.

This is sweet and touching.

to me it looks as if he(?) baught her some ice cream, not forcing her to buy herself a cone...

they're cute
also: yay for long hair boys

I almost never splurge on myself because I spend almost all of my money on my kids. Not because they need it, I just like spoiling them. They're my babies I know I really should spend more on myself and I'm going to do it. There's notjhing wrong with treating yourself every now and again when you expenses are paid.

Given time I could write a few storys about the pair great pic as I've been there

I love your way with words and the way you draw!

I love how the cow is the the ice cream worker... that is awesome.

It's good to see you inking up your ideas again.

"Here, this will help calm down the stomach worms that are eating you from the inside-out."
"Buh? o.o"

lol the cow. how fitting

*Nods.* Yeah, even when things are tight, you gotta do those lil' things sometimes, or you might just forget why you are still pushing on . . .

for a minute there I thought that was a J.P. Licks ice cream shop XD

awww i like this and its true you do have to occashionally treat youself to something small in sweet at times.

I can't say it enough,

I Love Your Stuff.

I am sorry I don't say it every time.
(I try and save it for the extra special ones, like here)
>^..^<
(fav-d)

He saw her looking in the window of the shop, came up to her and brought her inside to treat her to a cone, as she didnt have any money to spare for one.

It's so true. I think this is a place where everyone has been. Heck, I'm there now! But it lifts me more when I treat for others instead of treating for myself.

As for the image, I love how the ice cream server is a cow, lol. Cute and clever. I can see this turning into a short progression piece as well. She's unsure about the whole situation and her friend just smiles and tells her not to worry, with expression though, not words. She takes a lick of the ice cream and does feel better, only this time everything's in color now. |3

awwww

Indeed we should all be so blessed to have a friend show us the light in the darkest of times.

At least she has something to live on. Many of us live paycheck to paycheck just barely able to pay the bills.

i am so there, but every week I go to the gay club to make myself happy

the shady cow behind the ice cream counter add that little extra

I am at the financial point where I can't even justify going out, much less treating myself to anything. If it wasn't for a local friend that's been depressed as well, I'd probably be starving and entirely malnourished. I visit his place and we just chat about whatever. Complain about life and romance. And then go out and get food somewhere. He often spends 10-12 dollars on me half the days of the week. It's nice, being able to eat good food. And I don't feel I'm taking advantage of him either. He knows my situation, and he has a well paying job. That's as much of a treat as I'm able to do, and it's been one of the few things keeping me going.

Reminds me of the time i was just ready to give up on the world, didn't give a crap. late start at school and I was going to McDonald's for a snack and i just looked at all the people, thinking how each one could out for themselves, how each one could be ignorant or a bigot or some stingy crotchety hag but some short guy, a lil bald looked back at me and started conversation, I told him i was from the school down there and out of no where the man offered to pay for my snacks, I was surprised to hear something like that, I never had such random generosity before, not to my memory, the man insisted and i thanked him very much, told him I was thankful and it's been almost four years and i never forget the one kind stranger who helped another. I always stopped to hold hold the door or help pick something up for someone when ever i could after some thinking. It gives me great joy to see someone thankful for my deeds, to hold a door even when my hands are full to or even when i have a place to go, to stop and help a man with a bad back pick up his spare change. I like to think everyone has some chance for true generosity or will for peace within them under everything.

specieism lol having a cow serve icecream! also, icecream in the eye!
