I assumed that the person with the gun at the end was the woman he was kissing… It makes more sense that way. (he no longer sees himself growing old alone)
This is a great story with lots of different possible interpretations, which to me is one of the strengths of your work. The art is, as always, beautiful.
I’m a first-time visitor of this site, but I’ve since read all off your stuff…it’s just incredible. The English is beautiful, too, and most native speakers I know wouldn’t know what “anagnorisis” is, though I guess it’s more Greek than English…makes me wonder if I should try writing in a non-native language.
This comic has to be one of my favorites, aside from the whole “Unspeakable” arc. Such a great, delicate feeling here. This stuff deserves to be published, and not just by some small press. That’s cheating yourself. Best of luck with this great art, Mr. Santapan.

Revering age by kissing, we can make money off this.

Every time you create I am bowled over at how good your work is.
Thank you very much. I saw immediately the young man was killing the old one, but it took me some time to figure out there was a trap.
Bravo.

Really? I thought the woman he saw might be Emily…
Haha, and that he was going to get that guy killed by cheating on her.
But I’m sure that’s wrong.
Which is why it’s such a good strip.

The man in the vision represents the main character’s love. As time passes with his girlfriend, his love for her grows older, and, perhaps, frailer.
He kisses someone new, and creates new, young love. New love, that’s set a trap for his old love.
New love, that will kill his old love.
I could be wrong, of course.

I enjoy the colouring of this one. It pleases the eyes, a very weird feeling.

Thanks. I’d love to publish a selection of these comics on paper. Maybe Print on Demand is the way?
