Alt textFun Fact: When I switched to doing single panels in 2002, after having done short character-based strips for a bit, an early reader identified this particular comic as the reason she stopped reading. This was a bit distressing, since at the time, that one reader was about 10 percent of my audience.

Alt textTom was so disconnected from his own feelings that he offered gold and jewels whenever expressing himself. By the time he and Sally had been together for five years, he had begun to understand that his emotional weaknesses should be shared with the woman he loved most. But, it was too late. With the millions of dollars in rings, she had escaped to Argentina, and love.
