Proposals and Conventions

I Do?

by John Kovalic



Did he or didn't he say "yes"?

I don't know!

If you saw yesterday's cartoon, you'll have seen that a Dork Tower reader (Robyn) in Idaho Falls, Idaho, proposed to her boyfriend in the comic strip (Jared).

A few months ago, Robyn e-mailed me and asked me if she could use Dork Tower as the vehicle for her proposal. Since I also proposed to my wife, the Lovely and Talented Judith, in my old comic strip Wild Life (read all about it at http://www.gamespy.com/comics/dorktower/page.asp?id=11), who was I say no?

So yesterday's cartoon ran, the day Robyn and Jared were about to take off for a Canadian vacation.

Robyn was excited with how well the comic turned out. And then I heard...nothing.

My assumption is Jared said "yes," and that they went off on their Canadian vacation (if he said :no," somehow I've got the feeling that the trip would have been off.

But we'll wait. And see. And keep our fingers crossed. Won't we?

In the MEANTIME, I got a note from ANOTHER reader:

    Name: David Marzullo

    Comments: John,

    I hope you don't mind, but I had to "borrow" your strip as displayed on today, 7/14. A few quick strokes using MS Paint to edit the names and off went my e-mail to Trish. Whaddaya know? She said "yes".

    Thanks for a couple of great years of great humor.

So how about THAT? *Two* proposals from *one* comic strip! And we're batting at least .500! I'm guessing we'll be raising that to 1.00 as soon as we hear back from Robyn! (Don't keep us in suspense here, Robyn!)
