Artist's Comments

The idea came to me a week ago and the entire comic took me about three days to draw. I redrew the first page twice before deciding that I simply wouldn't redraw if I messed up, so sorry about the mistakes, etc.

It used to be called "Tomato Loves Basil" until I noticed the accidental resemblance of the characters to the ones in the webcomic Anders Loves Maria. Yikes.

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-02-26

The suggester wrote: "Under the guise of a pasta sauce recipe, ~okchickadee tells a tragic tale of love lost, found, then cooked, in Mini-Comic: Tomato And Basil . Opening with a colour panel, the rest of the comic is done in sets of four B&W panels that are read clockwise. ~okchickadee makes full use of this interesting concept, arranging it in such a manner that the reader can read each set of panels as an infinite loop. Who knew, the recipe for a bittersweet romance included tomatoes & Basil." (Suggested by `Iscariot-Priest and Featured by ^Cedarseed)

Absolutely adorably, amazingly, romantically, envy-inspiringly, pasta-cravingly lovely. I think this is the first time I've ever clicked on a Recent Submissions thumbnail on dA's front page and come up a winner :)

Hahaha, well! Did you know that some Jainists don't eat root vegetables because it kills the plant? :3

Thanks for taking a chance! I'm surprised you clicked at all--the thumbnails for these strip comics are usually pretty garbled. :)

The clockwize panels are genius.
It's like the comic is being stirred.
I'm so impressed.
