Another episode of Brina. Mazz visits Brina for their first session. If you are not aware of their arrangement, here is the previous episode: https://futurepig.com/brina000.html
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to finish this, I have been through a lot of complicated personal stuff lately. I may be moving soon, so I will be off the Internet for a while and I wanted to post this update before I pack my computer.
Behind the scenes: Most of the stories involving Mazz and Brina are based on my own life experiences, however, none of the characters is a direct equivalent of a single real person, but a mix of different people I have met. In a way, both are me at different times of my life.
The basic dynamic of friendship between a very religious character and an atheist counterpart had two equivalents in separated Christian friends I had in the past. I was the godless one in both cases. These were people I had long conversations with, despite our opposite views on religion. We talked mostly about art, books, and movies and mostly avoided religion, but when the topic came out we could disagree without fighting.
The part about one character being familiar with drugs and the other being unfamiliar and scared of them is also taken from my experience. I grew up with almost zero exposure to drugs or drug culture, except for what I saw in movies. The first time I experimented with drugs I was already in my twenties and it was with a girlfriend I had back in the 1990s. She had a very relaxed attitude toward drugs and I had an extremely negative view of drugs at the moment. We were staying at a motel and she pulled a joint out of her purse. I was terrified, thinking someone could smell it from another room and expecting the police would kick the door down at any moment.
The part about someone who gets panic attacks when she smokes weed is also based on more than one person. I knew someone who needed a friend to be close. At some other moment, the roles reversed and I was the one who experimented with something while a friend was my "control". I may include more of that in future episodes.
Also: an Easter Egg probably only noticed by real Brazilians.
I smoked twice only, but first time it was with artists from a game studio (it was a party of a friend working there). We played a game ; you drew a few lines at random and another person had to make some picture out of it. I can see how weed can help with inspiration because it did at the time.
Well she's right in that life is pointless :O I smoked twice only, but first time it was with artis
That's such a cute dynamic between them. As I've said before, nice job on the dialogue. And I feel like Mazz might have helped her write new lyrics in that second to last page.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I try to find humor in the contrast and attraction of opposites. I think the world could be a better place if people with different opinions were capable of getting along. ( ᐢ (oo) ᐢ )

I'm not sure yet. Because there is another chapter I haven't finished that is supposed to go before this one. So I'm not sure if I should insert it right there or wait until I finish the half-done one. I'm sorry for my disorganization ( •́ (oo) •̀ )

The state of my comic reflects the state of my head. ( ᐢ (oo) ᐢ ) I have a mess of disconnected plot and dialogue I need to put in sequential order. There is another episode that continues from the moment the priest falls asleep, but I finished this one and wanted to post it.
