"The Wonderful World of Kim Pine"

[sandoz_iscariot]

From a 2007 free Comics Festival Anthology here's Bryan Lee O'Malley's "The Wonderful World of Kim Pine." A 4-page strip set in the Scott Pilgrim universe, this one's about Sex Bob-Omb's drummer Kim and her roommate woes. It's also been posted on the official Scott Pilgrim website, along with other free bonus comics.










As someone who has had her fair share of awful roommates (including one who told me to turn down Nosferatu...the silent movie), I empathize with Kim perhaps too much here.

Yes yes yes yes YES. I wanted the whole thing to be about Kim Pine. I had hoped that there would be more Kim in Volume 6, but at least we'll always have this short story.

When I played the SP video game, the only person I wanted to play as would be Kim, because I knew that she would be sympathetic of my severe dislike of Scott himself.

Ugh, I had a room mate that was just as equally horrid. The worst part was somehow her husband somehow got a hold of my cell phone number and wouldn't stop calling me to check up on her every fucking ten minutes because she couldn't be bothered to answer when he called.

But I find this art pleasing and really rather adorable.

Kim Pine needs to defeat her evil ex-roommates. I would read that.

I think we all do.

Kim Pine vs Her Evil exroommates has to happen!

[neuhallidae]

Hell yes.

I love how O'Malley draws his characters. Kim looks so cute and squishy. I want to squish her legs. I've never read much of the Scott Pilgrim series, but I loved Kim in the movie. Like when Scott is talking about how they dated in the past but everything is cool with them now and then it just shows Kim glaring at him from across the room.

Wow..no wonder Kim is so angry and here I thought it was Scott's fault. Still. Love it! This makes me like Kim even more.

Oh, Kim, I`ve been there so have some huggles :) The art is really expressive and the story itself could be a snapshot from anyone`s life!

Oh gods, empathy for the roommates from Hell! D: This looks good -- I wonder if our library has any Scott Pilgrim -- ?

Aw, who am I kidding, our library has everything! *dashes off to put on holds*

Oh, I love this comic (especially the extra-cute way he drew everybody! those little feeties! eee!). KIM PINE! Her pain is eternal because suck is eternal.

Oh man, now I'm even more in love with Kim. I'm NEVER going to get any work done...
