this fic is pretty stupid but it happens...cant believe a girl could be such a coward slut...

[Haley]

Okay, honestly, regardless if this is fiction or nonfiction, Martina is a complete jerk. Yes, we all have our moments of shame, but that was so frigging low of her. She cheated and she lied and she made it seem like it was all his fault and he seems like one of the nicest guys ever. Honestly, she should really feel bad about it, because what goes around comes around and I wouldn't be surprised if Ben does the exact same thing to her. I just can't believe someone could do that to someone else. It's just so harsh. At least have the guts to tell the other person you did wrong and then let whatever happens happen. But she didn't even have enough morality to do so.
Whatever.
Drawings were pretty great though.

k so was she talking to mike on the phone or 1 of her friends????????????? so confused

[Helena]

OMG! I can't believe that was the ending, Mike was so lovely and now he's going to feel all awful. I know its fiction (I hope) but in my over-active imagination I hope she tells him the truth and they get back together. Boy, Mike is like my ideal guy *Swoon*

[Clairey Fairey]

Look, everyone has their moments of shame. We all do stupid things, and by printing this it shows that she realizes what she has done and how it wasn't the best decision and helps other people when they make stupid decisions. People have to remember that we're all human and we all make stupid mistakes.

And I'm supposed to be the "perfect" christian girl. I'm not. I try my best but I do silly things too.

[abby]

I only hate Martina cause Mike is so hot...

[Tilly]

great comic by th way, rly gud storyline. n i rly lik th drawings, they hve such great detail its amazing!!

[Mia]

I love the artwork in these two comics and I really want more of this style! Also I was really hoping for a part three to this one forever!

[Skye]

This is a very well written comic, the drawings are amazing!

[Mae]

What!?!?
Hello!!! You should've stayed with Mike. He was adorable.

[helloworldyourqueenisn'there]

martina... is mike your hot boyfriend from all of your other comics?

i'll be sad if it is......

[winnie]

as its happening nowadays of which it can b horrible 2 us.its better not to be chasers coz u cannot serve two masters at the same time.so as teens we should watch out carefully.

[it's me]

wow! she made a wrong decision... ohh well mike's mine! :P

[Rebecca]

TERRIBLE AND SHOKING ENDING BUT ITS REAL LIFE PEOPLE!!!!! NOT EVERYONE OWNS UP :( VERY VERY SAD

[maki]

all idiots...all!

[Luna]

k sereiously this comic sucked, i apologize to martina for being that harsh.... but I guess I'm just being honest. Like the drawings and everything were great it's just that WHAT HAPPENED sucked. and hey az, youshouldntknow, and any other girls who agree with them? ya honestly she should have told him the truth. I mean if I was going out with a great guy, then went for coffee with another, and even if I did kiss the coffee dude, and tell the other guy the truth. I wouldn't leave him hanging like that. He needs to know, it involves, and has to do with him, and he has a right to know, so hey youshouldntknow, ya how 'bout you just back off, cuz I think your the one not reading it thoroughly enough.

[Terra]

hahaha Mike's mine now. :]

[Sabrina]

I hate other girls that do that!! That's just too harsh! Besides, she didn't get out of the situation. He could find out anyways. But my boyfriend's name is Ben too lol!

[PoisonGirl]

poor mike...but sometiemes, to save face, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do...that's life.

[Lyn :]]

I felt bad for the dude in the comic cuz if she tells him that she really cheated then his heard would be really crushed.
I thought it was Grimey for what she did!

[Hippiesque]

That's really sad, but I can understand her perspective... Sometimes things just happen. Yeah, she didn't do the RIGHT thing, but that doesn't make her a b*tch like some of you said.

[Taylor]

Wow...I'm not a fan of the female character. But your name is Martina. Did you do this? Is this your story? If so I guess I can't be too mad. There are times I have thought of doing this kind of thing...because I'm sick of my bf or whatever.

That Martina should have said the truth. But I know that's a hard thing to do...so yeah.

I just feel terrible for the first man.

[YouShouldntKnow]

She didn't just meet Ben, she knew him since 1st grade. And she didn't dump him because she though Mike was cheating, she knew he wasn't cheating..she just dumped him because she didn't want Mike to find out and because she liked Ben more. Do guys ever read the comics thoroughly?

[gfrwgfrwagrf]

uhhuh

[trene]

damn dats messed up!! she a coward for dat! he wasnt even cheatin! she was!! how u gon dump him for sumthin u just did?? wat a bitch

[Jenay]

I loved that comic it hear-throbbng. The gurl was a bum though. I would never cheat on my booyfriend. We have been going out for 5 years. And we only broke 3 times

[simona]

whoa that was really mean of her, poor mike left with the blame wen it was her fault, harsh..
BITCH!
not a gud ending at all..

[Brittany]

That jus made me soooooooo mad!!!Is this chick stupid?!?!? First of all she just left the cute college guy whose a musician and whose obvisiously going somewhere and devoted to her and REALLY LOVE'S HER!!!Which is the main thing I dont get, he really loves her and she can leave him just that easy, well maybe she doesnt really love him like she says she does!!! Then she leaves him for some guy she just met!!! Sure he's nice but she already has a man atr home, and she let a little crush break up what they had!!!! DUMB CHICK!!!

[Chelsea]

god tell the truth it may hurt but its gonna work out

[Manda]

omg. she is so mean =[ i defffffinatly think she did the wrong thing. not saying she should have admited to it, but seriousley. she shouldnt have done it D= gosh

[TSH418]

She was definitely wrong for choosing Ben and leaving Mike to THINK he did something wrong. She don't deserve Mike so I guess in the end it was the best for HIM!!!

[jovana]

ahh!i feel rly bad for mike....
it wasn't his fault at all....
that 1 girl is messed up i'd prolly have a hard time telling him but i would sooner or later

[benita]

wait youre staying with mike (the musician) if you are good for you but you still gotta tell him what you did im sure he'll forgive you

[daniela]

OMG, well if you don't want him I DO. lol
mmh so.. what happened with the new guy? was it at least worth it?

[kit]

wow, that was a shocker, honestly i expected her to continue cheating, but hey, i like it, i hope ther is more to come!

[Bre]

"never leave the one you love for the one you like"....and thats wat she did...but good comic thou...and in the end the guy hurts more than the girl but if she told him he would still hurt 2 so i quess it realli doesn't matter

[elyy! <33]

okay, i wonder what Mike would say.
oh my gosh
!!!
everything bad happens when someone cheats
grrr.
well anyways,
well yeah this really was a good commic.!
full of suspense etc.
but yeah,
i think she should've of told that one dude that she didn't like him and never see him again.
and forget all about it
Honestly,
that's what i would've done

[Lauren]

She shoulda told Miike the truth.

[crinklet]

Okay, one... why didn't she tell the guy in the first place that she had a bf. second, she should have told him. Now her ex is going to think it's all his fault when really, he didn't do anything. Stupid! But it was a good comic.

[Nona]

I feel bad for Mike but also feel bad for Martina. It's a harsh, hard thing to do to admit you were wrong...
I think Elton John was right...
"Sorry" really IS the hardest thign to say.

[cortney]

I want to know the end or else(lol)

[amy]

I love the art in this comic. I love Martina's usual style as well, but as an aspiring artist I can't help but love how well people are portrayed realistically even with few simple lines. And Martina looks gorgeous xD

Thanks for the honesty Martina. It's what I love most about your comics, you're not afraid to address topics that most of us are afraid/ashamed of.

Much love, keep up the good work ^^

[Erica Ann]

Martina is a "WALKING,TALKING,REALITY-CHECK"
Virtually anyway..The ending to this comic was
so sugary sweet, or honest how people want it
to be, and that's what makes it so honest in
the first place. Dont be pissed because you were totally expecting the[MARTINA FELT SO BAD THAT SHE TOLD MIKE ABOUT BEN, AND MIKE WAS TOTALLY HEARTBROKEN,IGNORED HER FOR A WEEK, BUT THEY ENDED UP BACK TOETHER, BECAUSE HES
SUCH A SWEET UNDERSTANDING GUY, AND BEACUSE THERE SO IN LOVE"]ending. Because Martina knows
thats now like is, and when ever your stuck
in a situation such as that..sometimes you
choose the "easy" choice rather than the
hard one..

[blurb]

this comic was honest..and i liked it.
everyone is tempted, and if you give in you have to deal with the consequences. nobody's perfect!
thanks for putting the truth out there, martina.

[martina_fugazzotto]

hey guys, I know that a lot of you are disappointed in me for the ending of Cheat. But you have to realize that people make mistakes! This is a true story, and it's something that happened a long time ago that taught me a lesson. There can't be happy endings all the time, and sometimes we do things that we're not proud of. As much as we try to "do the right thing", we can't help it when emotions get involved. So, please don't be mad at me! I was just trying to be honest about a bad mistake I made in my past. xoxo, martina

[AZ]

This is my favorite comic on the site. Martina, you are too cool for school. I like that the ending was not predictable because it shows that women aren't perfect and that really nobody is. For everyone who is heartbroken by this comic, you should understand that this all a part of the learning process. I bet Martina would never repeat this behavior because she has learned her lesson from past mistakes and in the end, that's what it's all about

[gabrielle]

WHAT!
that was it!
OMG the ending sucked.
and mike was hot not as the new dork guy EWW
WTF is wring with you.

[ez]

What?!
That wasn't a good ending lol.
She should've just been honest.
That's just showing other girls to give up
and be a coward.
And to not be honest to their boyfriends...

Sorry,
I didn't like it.

[elizabeth]

was that a real occurance?

[Nae]

...She's a little dork. She didn't really cheat on him, there are far worse things that she could have done. Poor Mike! He'd probably feel downright terrible!
