WTFHappened
to DonDepresso?
Is the artist
still alive?
Im guessing you found
this e-zine through myDon Depresso comics. Im
probably giving myself
a little too much credit
by even entertaining
the possibility that
youve noticed I havent
published any new
comics in months, but just
in case you do happento be a hardcore Don
Depresso fan whos been
obsessively checking
the website every day
for the new comics I
keep promising and not
delivering, this e-zine is
for you.
Basically, Ive been too
tied up with the stressful
aspects of real life to make
Don Depresso comics
lately, but I certainly
havent stopped for
good! Due to a recent
slew of technological
catastrophes, Ive spent so much time freaking out abou
how Im going to get everything done that I havent ha
time to, like, actuallyget anything done.
Anyway, this e-zine is about Neurotic Nicole, not
Neurotic Ruji, so Ill stop explaining myself now.
Dons been busy because Ive been busy, but wereboth still alive.
So WTF Happened toNeurotic Nicole?
Werent they dating
or something?
Well, they... hm. Actually, thats kind of a toughquestion to answer. Lets take a look back atsome of the time Don Depresso and Neurotic Nicole
spent together before Neurotic Nicole stopped
appearing in the comic.
They startedout as tobacco
and marijuana
smoking buddies
and eventually
progressed to
a symbiotic
partnership
characterized
mainly by theexchange of
childhood traum
stories and
prescription drug

One day, Don wokeup and realized tha
t
despite his obsession
with an ex-girlfriendfrom two years ago, he
was beginning to see
Neurotic Nicole
a little differently...

Gradually, things happened between them.
Don and Nicole had some differences. Things got confusing for Don.

Neurotic Nicole's Own Words
A Video Message to Don Depresso, Recorded
in the Mental Hospital
So anyway, months passed, and no one heard from Neurotic
Nicoleuntil she responded to an OKCupid messagefrom fellow
pill-popping Polaris fan Heartbroken Hads.
Nicole revealed to Hads that shed been locked in the mental
hospital for months but would nevertheless be up for
a date. Hads met Nicole at the mental hospital and left
with not only a bottle
of Xanax but also amysterious DVD labeled
TO:Donalongwith instructions to
bring the DVD to Don
Depresso for her.
The DVD contained this
unsettling video.
Hey, Don, its meNeurotic Nicole!
I just got into the closet where
theyre keeping my phone and
stuff.
And I read those 16 e-mails that
you sent me... and Im sorry we
havent been in touch over the
past few months.
Ive been in herethe mental hos-
pital!
I guess it all started with a call
from the vet conrming my darkest
fear: that Rufus tested positive
for feline herpes, which sent me
spiraling into a 4-day episode of
compulsive coupon-clipping and
eventually paranoid psychosis.
Anyway, Don, Im really not in anyheadspace to answer all of your
urgent questions from the last
month.
You know, about where our rela-
tionship stands, whether I still
like you, or if I consider you a
clingy emotional vampire com-
pletely lacking in sex appeal
[Dons words].
I dont know when Ill have the
answers.
Sorry in advance if you waste th
rest of your life waiting for me
to get out of the loony bin.
Anyway, I gotta go get my mornin
Xanny bar.
Youd love the pharmacy here, by
the way!
Later, alligator.
I have wicked dry mouth too, man
Staytunedfor
updates!
