I can’t read cursive

For those who can’t read cursive, here’s what it says: (I don’t blame you)Panel 1: This is my neighbor Stephen. I hate him.2: Everytime he sees me, he feels compelled to tell me about a comic strip he draws… Like I give a -— (can’t say that)3: “Picked up another paper this week,” he says to me last Tuesday, like I know what that means. I want to say “Shut your fat mouth,” but instead I just says “Oh.”4: So yesterday, he comes to my house and hands me something. “What’s this?” I says. “That’s one of my originals strips,” he says, like he’s handing me the holy @@@@ing grail. “It’s for you,” he says.5: I’m thinking… I’m gonna rip this thing up and throw the pieces on his ####ing lawn, but I don’t. Instead I just says “thanks.”6: So today I’m having a garage sale and up walks you-know-who and says “Just wanted to make sure you’re not seeling that valuable original I gave you.” Then he chuckles.7: Of course, he doesn’t buy a thing, but as he’s leaving, he says, “You might get a few more visitors if yo had a bigger sign.”8: I wanted to yell, “MAYBE IF YOU DREW YOUR STRIPS ON LARGER PAPER, I’d have more room on the BACK for my sign,” but instead I just says “Bye now.”
