And at that moment, she knew, deep inside her being, that Ralph was the love of her life and they would be together for life!
And in the moment that followed, she threw herself off the cliff behind them.

The sea pounded as our lips spoke mutely of our love!..
…Our lips are stupid like that.
…So this is what a silent scream is! Heard so much about them, but never thought I’d experience one myself!
…Maybe if something else was pounding, our lips wouldn’t be so mute.
…Which is really odd, because I never thought our love would sound so much like “Call the police!”

‘Til Death Do Us Part
Generally assumed to be years down the road, but I guess it could be almost immediate….
The email cartoon and the on site cartoon display something strange going on– please let me know when you find out what happened. A lot of really strange things have been going on online, and it almost feels like we are trying to reboot 1958.

I don’t think it’s related to any general online problems–at least not the way I think you mean it, HW. I accidentally ran the Monday comic on GoComics and the Wednesday comic here. So they’re not synced like usual.
On Wednesday, I’ll be doing the reverse. (The Wednesday comic on GoComics and the Monday comic here.)
After that, everything should be back in sync.
There have been some web-browser upload issues, and in one case the “scan for harmful attachments” will scan one, then move to the next one, even if it had a second image even if there was another image there.
