“It’s a lovely evening for SOME people…but not for ME…what with my CONDITION which causes me to OVEREMPHASIZE random WORDS.”

“It’s a lovely evening for SOME people…but not for ME…but we’ll see how things look when their clothes come off.”

Ginny had grown up listening to the bards sing of the beauty that was the Detroit skyline. Alas poor Ginny! Bards lie!
______________________________________________
Ginny wanted to ask the couple to help her. The side of her head had been glued to the wall for two days now and she hadn’t been able to move from that spot. Ginny was tired and hungry and sick of drinking her own urine. But she couldn’t call out. It’s just too awkward to interrupt strangers when they’re busy feeling each other up.

So…the lead off story in this issue of Sweethearts is about a lady who goes up to her rooftop and watches people on the next rooftop have sex.
Where were these comics when I was a kid?
A good question, Jams.
Personally, you couldn’t have paid me enough to touch a romance comic when I was a kid. But if I’d known about the lingerie ads in some of them and the occasional scenes of buxom women changing clothes—well, I would’ve been a fan.
Maybe I’ll have a better chance at romance if I take a bath, 2 weeks of dirt isn’t as attractive as I think it is.
Cue the music!
It’s time for guillotines…
C’mon, sing it with me!!
