Love Birds
I realize now that “the paints” behind the word bubbles in panel 3 are much too cheerful… the colors should be more unhappy and dark.
In my chocolate snobbiness… I would not suggest the cheap-o heart box full of chocolates. They are quite disgusting. There’s nuthin’ but creams (which are straight high-fructose corn syrup for sure!)… Nuts and chews are better, but I would actually opt for an organic dark chocolate situation… or at least See’s.
randie has the start of an emo anthem (or country music song) there. the cruelest holiday tends to bring those out.
A consoling thought, from my experience as a Maintenance Man at a Shelter For Abused Women for almost a Decade:
“It is far. Far better to BE alone,
Than to WISH that you were!”
There ARE FAR worse things than solitude, folks.
Be grateful if you DON’T know what they are.
I can’t even do a “I’m so lonely nobody loves me” chocolate binge since I became diabetic.
I just went out an got drunk with the homeless. After a brutal divorce it was the pick me up I needed. We played music all nite . but now…
I think it’s time Randie starts putting something stronger in her coffee.
I spent the day preparing valentines for four different ladies!
Ooo la la!
Okay, it was my mom, sis, and a pair of nieces. *sigh*
No ooo-ing and the la la is just not the same with family.
Anatman/Leo….There should definitely be a song… She and Midge could do a duet. It could touch on just what you said, Leo.
S’toon…. Really? Ok- how about a sugar free chocolates binge? Would that do?
Z…. Sing, sing a song… Sing out loud… Sing out strong…
Dada… Yah, Irish Cream… And keep it coming!
Unca Bad… That is too sweet! I gave a Minion to my minions… Dave is awfully cute… Stuart was out of stock.
At LEAST See’s??? Don’t be dissin’ a top notch chocolate, Brig! My wife and two of our sons work for See’s during the Christmas season. That stuff is waaaay too good for our own good.
