PANEL 1

The couple continues their picnic, unaware of the Anti-Cupid watching from above.

WOMAN: "You're the greatest boyfriend ever!"

DIRK: "I know!"

The Anti-Cupid lurks menacingly in the background.

PANEL 2

SFX: THP!

The Anti-Cupid fires an arrow that hits the woman.

PANEL 3

The woman's demeanor changes completely. She looks annoyed.

WOMAN: "On second thought, I don't like football. I just thought I did because you were so into it."

PANEL 4

The woman continues her rant while Dirk looks shocked.

WOMAN: "I prefer ice hockey! And that cheap thong you bought me? I hate thongs! They're uncomfortable as hell!"

PANEL 5

WOMAN: "All you ever want to do is fool around or do your things! Why am I even dating you?"

Dirk sweats nervously.

DIRK: "Nooooo! Please wait!"

One thing I noticed growing up in rural Virginia was that girls were always adopting their boyfriend’s interests. It’s like they had no real interests or hobbies of their own. It was always, “I’m going to see a game/movie/whatever my boyfriend wants to see,” and “I’m a huge fan of blah! My boyfriend got me into blah!” I always wondered if they kept their acquired interests after the break up or if they went back to being blank slates until the next guy came along, only to repeat the process.

Also, ice hockey rules.
