The Anti-Cupid continues her advice to the young woman.

ANTI-CUPID: "So focus on becoming a good person now and leave love for the future!"

WOMAN: "Are you saying I shouldn't date?"

ANTI-CUPID: "You can date! Learning about love and your emotions is important."

ANTI-CUPID: "Just don't make it your sole purpose in life."

A beeping sound effect fills the panel.

SFX: "BEE BEE-BEE-BEE-BEE-BEE.BEE-BEE-BEE-BEE"

ANTI-CUPID: "That's my beeper! Break's over. Time to work on the celebrities."

WOMAN: "Celebrities?"

ANTI-CUPID: "I despise celebrities. Ever wonder why no one in Hollywood stays married for more than six months?"

WOMAN: "Will I ever see you again?"

The Anti-Cupid flies off while the woman watches, looking thoughtful.

ANTI-CUPID: "Ohhhh yeah! When you start dating, you will see me many times!"

ANTI-CUPID: "Just remember that everything I do is for your own good.*"

FOOTNOTE: "*Unless you're a celebrity. Then she's just being spiteful."

The End

I don’t know if I ever put this in a comic, but the Anti-Cupid used to brag about breaking up Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese because Dita was “totally better off without him.” Seeing what a train wreck Manson’s lovelife has been since, I think the Anti-Cupid really does dislike that fellow.

I like the final message that it’s okay to date, but don’t expect to find the perfect dude immediately. You’re going to break up with a few people before you find the right one.
