That was the worst proposal ever, wasn’t it?

*eyes narrow in on panel four* are those… fingernails? what
Anyway, enjoy Things That Happen In My Comics The Way They Do Because I Have A Legit Jewelry Phobia. Hello, chicken rings.
Loading ...
jewelry is pretty scary, tho
have you seen how much they put on women’s blouses
Not sure what’s so gross about chicken in ring form. You just take a disc of chicken and punch a hole in it.
Pretty sure that it’s not natural for chicken to be in disc form, either.
Or to have holes punched in ’em. Unless you’re in Texas.
It’s breaded, deep fried, and served up with dipping sauce; just be thankful it started off as chicken!
You never know when a piece of jewelry is going to enslave you to a fallen Ainur or Maiar.
Jewelry phobia? Like, of drawing it? Or an actual fear of jewelry?
Because the former I totally get. The later… why? I mean, sure, phobias aren’t rational, but at least if one has a phobia about spiders, it’s because one expects the spiders to, like, bite them or something. Crawl on them. Something. Jewelry is (usually) entirely inanimate.
You’ve never seen how fast I can flee from an obviously dead spider.
I’m not afraid of jewelry, but my wallet is.
I don’t have it, but I can imagine just being skeeved out by the feeling of plastic or metal on your skin, and feeling a similar discomfort from seeing other people wearing it.
Also, unrelated, I just saw the location is listed as “fragile hotel.” Hehe.
I’m surprised it was a personal reason. It just seems like a very Walky-ish thing to do to propose with fast food.
Reading panel 2, and my thoughts are, “of course these idiots are perfect for each other.”
This whole page looks really nice. Good job, Past Willis.
Worst? Have you seen Edward Elric’s hyper-nerdy proposal to Winry? 🤣
You’re implying that isn’t the BEST proposal ever.
Nah, the best was, “So, shall we do the thing?”
(my now-husband finally getting me a thing)
Zhu Li, is that you?
pronounced differently, but yes
My friend reports that the proposal behind her parents’ marriage was something along the lines of “It’s about time we got married.” I don’t remember the exact wording.
When your proposal starts ticking the same boxes as Homer Simpson’s, you need to start worrying.
What? No onion ring?
This seems like a pretty fitting proposal for these two to me.
Willis, it is a riot—and a true privilege—to follow you back through your earlier comics like this! Thanks so much for letting us listen in as you talk to younger you!!
Is the fact that they’re eating White Castle meant to indicate that they somehow traveled a thousand miles to the east from Denver?
As mentioned on a previous page, they’re currently on the East Coast – they flew here to try and counter Bart O’Ryan’s evidence of Anti-Joyce’s murder.
Dunno how I missed that.
They’re in New York, so yes.
