with him, but he ends up leaving  with his friends before midnight.\u00c2\u00a0 She admirably decides not to let it  go and puts one of those &#8220;I saw you&#8221; ads in the local paper.\u00c2\u00a0 He sees it  and they eventually get together for a date&#8230; and that&#8217;s where the  real awkwardness begins.\u00c2\u00a0 The only thing they really end up having in  common is their mutual interest in making art, which ends up making the  night much longer than it otherwise would have been.\u00c2\u00a0 Things eventually  get mildly heated, they end up back at her place, and I&#8217;m about to tell  you the whole story here, and nobody likes that.\u00c2\u00a0 Let&#8217;s just say it&#8217;s  not as salacious as I&#8217;m making it out to be.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m hopelessly biased  towards Kelly&#8217;s comics at this point, so of course I&#8217;m going to love  this one.\u00c2\u00a0 If you have to have your comics with excellent technical  proficiency, maybe you should start with some of the later Slithers and  then work your way back to this.\u00c2\u00a0 If you like heartfelt awkwardness in  all forms, it&#8217;s hard to go wrong here.\u00c2\u00a0 $1<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/forced2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"forced2\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/forced2.jpg\" alt=\"forced2\" width=\"437\" height=\"691\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website I&#8217;ve Been Forced To Get To Know You Nobody, but nobody captures the awkwardness of dating as well as Kelly does.\u00c2\u00a0 She manages to make it hilarious and insightful while not being afraid to show to throw in any awkward truths about herself.\u00c2\u00a0 This is an older mini, and it&#8217;s clear that her technical [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1118,2626],"class_list":["post-9638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-ive-been-forced-to-get-to-know-you","tag-kelly-froh"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9638"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9638\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9648,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9638\/revisions\/9648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
