Think Before You Think

I recently got turned onto this one by a banner ad on Doodling Around. Very cute little relationship comic based around the idea that one character, Brian, perceives the thoughts of others whether he wants to or not. It makes him a very perceptive barista, and he helps his policeman roommate catch overheard criminals, but it also means his budding relationship with Julia goes haltingly (she knows he can read her mind, so she's frequently embarrassed by her thoughts) and he occasionally gets embroiled in situations he'd rather stay out of, such as the suicidal Sarah, who has a crush on him, and to whom he knows he's her only lifeline.

Anyone else read it?

I do now.

The pacing is kind of choppy, but it's pretty funny.

I get a bit annoyed sometimes by the way Julia seems to think about Brian pretty much nonstop, but I have to admit that if I met someone who could hear people's thoughts, I'd probably spend all my time thinking about them too, so I can't really fault the realism there.

...eventually, we will reach a maximum entropy state where nobody has their own socks or underwear, or knows who to ask to get them back.
