Courting Disaster, Aug 4, 2006

Courting Disaster
Courting Disaster, my weekly comic about sex, love, and relationships updates every Friday. It’s a lot of fun. You’ll laugh your pants off.

This week’s question comes directly from the registration-free Tag-Board: Me and my boyfriend have been together for about 2 years now. Next year I’m supposed to be going away for my bachelors degree.The college is around 3-to-4 hours away from where we live. We don’t want to lose each other, and I’d give almost anything to stay, but there are no schools here that have my particular degree that arent private schools — which I can’t afford. We both love each other very much, but are afraid that being forced into a long distanced relationship would doom us. What should we do?

And while I’m pimping projects, there’s a new Phables updating Monday.
