The Anti-Cupid lectures Jeremy while a disillusioned woman says "I hate men" in the background.

ANTI-CUPID: "But because guys like you don't have the guts to simply ask the poor girl out, she has to go through all sorts of crappy suitors, getting her heart broken, growing disillusioned with the opposite sex!"

JEREMY: "I'm not a coward!"

SFX: "SHOVE!"

ANTI-CUPID: "Prove it! Pick one and ask her out!"

Jeremy spots a woman working on a laptop at a café.

JEREMY: "She looks nice."

JEREMY: "She's got a laptop, so she must be a student or a writer."

PAGE 11, PANEL 3

The Anti-Cupid pushes Jeremy toward the woman.

ANTI-CUPID: "Or a graphic designer. That's a Mac, I think. You're going over there!"

JEREMY: "Wait! She, uh, looks like feminist...or a lesbian... I don't want to get yelled at for asking for her number."

ANTI-CUPID: "A feminist? What kind of excuse is that?"

I hated it when guys would try to pull that old, “But what if she’s a feminist!” trick. It’s code for, “What if she is empowered and has her own mind!” Because, you know, dating someone who isn’t a total pushover is no fun. If anyone ever says anything like this around you, give ‘em hell.
