The Proposal
WOMAN: No! I won’t marry you! But I simply adore the way you propose! Do it again!
Art by Dick Giordano
Husbands One, Two, Four, five, Six, and Lucky Number Seven all died accidentally of food poisoning. Husband Three committed suicide by shooting himself repeatedly through the heart while falling off a cliff. These things happen…
In my previous comic, I had a couple getting married. It was (for me) an unusually sweet moment.
But today? Ack! We’re wallowing in the worst of wedded woes!
What can I say? Romantic comedy is a brutal business.
I just found a link to the world’s best wedding toast. I discovered it on Mark Evanier’s site–which is rapidly becoming my favorite blog.
Just in case there’s any doubt, we’re back to stand-alone gags for now. Totally random. No plan. No grand scheme…
Or so it would appear.
My readers often surprise me. You find ideas and themes that I didn’t know were there. You folks are wildly creative. (And you’re much too smart and sophisticated to be taken in by mere flattery!) So, maybe you’ll find a way to connect all the comics in the coming weeks. Maybe they’ll make sense to you as part of a single storyline.
If so, let me–and probably a qualified therapist–know!
