Return of the Anti-Cupid, Page 4

PAGE 4, PANEL 1

A guy watches as another guy walks away with his girlfriend. The light-haired woman walks away sadly.

GUY: "I don't get it."

GUY: "Why do all the nice girls end up with losers and jerks?"

GUY: "I could never get a sweet girlfriend like that!"

WOMAN (thinking): "I just want to make him happy."

Close-up of the Anti-Cupid's eyes.

ANTI-CUPID: "Have you ever tried asking one of them out?"

PAGE 4, PANEL 3

At a bubble tea shop (sign shows "Try Bobble Tea"), the guy talks to the Anti-Cupid, revealing his true attitude.

GUY: "You're asking about pretty, nice girls, right?"

GUY: "Not pretty bitches like Sparrow? They're a different story."

PAGE 4, PANEL 4

The Anti-Cupid sits on a bench while the guy continues his rant.

GUY: "Why do they go out with guys who don't treat them right when they deserve better?"

GUY: "Rachel? Is that you?"

In the little Sparrow chibi in the Anti-Cupid’s speech bubble, you can see Sparrow’s “bitch tail” which appears when she’s being a bitch, much like Rachel’s cat ears appear when she’s thinking lusty thoughts.

Oh, I hadn’t realized this guy knew Rachel. Hmm.. She needs a better disguise.

Also, check out the bubble tea! I had just discovered it earlier in the year at Wizard World Philadelphia!

    It took me years to figure out that when you were talking about bubble tea, you meant milk tea with boba. I used to work at a place that served that (we had milk tea, mango, or strawberry) and every night we had to make the little boba balls out of the tapioca and let them “rest” in a sugar solution and then our boss would cook them in the morning.
