SS5 37 Sarah decides to ask Lucy out
skyangel on March 1, 2014
I know.. it's a bummer, but it's another reminder that life never really ever goes as planned (and you'll know this if you've ever tried planning a surprise party or robbing a bank).
I MUST just say though how much I love the amount of detail Beck'ys put into those shop shelves in panel 4. When I got the page back from her this week I was studying those tins for ages and getting a buzz out of how nice they all looked together.
Bear: I just friended you on FB btw. I had no idea it was you until I connected the welsh name with Queensland and the surfing vid :)
Have a nice week all :)

"Fluffybum"!!! lol you crack me up! And I love how you managed to create a story around this innocuous bit. :) Thank you DV for getting her going hehe

Was actually hoping it was found by an asian restaurant :P But the fact it was found and returned to it's distressed but loving owner is all good in the end (not all endings _have_ to be a happy one :D)

DV: haha, no I never usually read the ads either unless I'm looking for something in particular. To put your mind at rest over the cat ads, the old lady whose kitty went missing posted the first ad, but she had also posted copies in a number of other stores too and this one is a bit out of her local area so she doesn't come by often. The guy who posted the found ad is very short so he couldn't even see the first ad, and the woman who served him in the shop had left her reading glasses at home so she couldn't read what was written. However a sharp eyed school boy did notice the similarity of the pics a few days later on his way home from school and mentioned it while buying his sweets, so the staff contacted the pair and brought them together. Fluffybum is now all snug in his basket at home again. I hope this answers your question.

Wait, didn't you say Lucy was not the one for Sarah?
DarkVisor at 2:40AM, March 6, 2014
Personally feel that signs on shop windows (like this one) are too close to the door, most people take a few seconds (unless they are actively looking) before they start paying attention to their outdoor surroundings. Knew the lost/found kitty was the same one (the image was a big clue :P), the question is: which went up first?

Oh wow, so many lovely comments this week! Just like old times.:) I'll answer all these in one go, as most of you have said similar things. I know from my own experiences that I'd feel really awkward pursuing a girl I've only met a few times too hard as I'd feel like I was probably becoming a pest. A little thing like somebody not asking my name after I asked theirs would be enough to give me bad vibes and convince me they probably were not as interested as I thought so I gave Sarah confusing mixed messages to mess with her lack of confidence, which is her real enemy here as she's convinced she's made a mistake. Of course if she'd read that ad in the window she would have the proof she wanted but she's too deep in thought to even think about checking shop ads. Love will find a way though huh. ;)

Emi: Lovely to see you again! I checked out some of your awesome art last week btw :) And yeah she still does have the red mini for now, but not for much longer. ........................................................................................................................... DV: The Lost and found ads are talking about the same cat.XD They just haven't read each others ads yet. ........................................................................................................................... Bear: haha I was just trying to come up with something that wouldn't work if someone tried to dial it!
DarkVisor at 2:15AM, March 4, 2014
The real question is: Is the lost kitty found? Or has the found kitty been lost?
Locoma at 5:41PM, March 2, 2014
oh man, I totally missed the ad in the shop door! nice catch stangi :D

Ah MAAAN, What a cliffhanger!!!!!
Emma_Clare at 6:42PM, March 1, 2014
So, that ad in the shop door... does Sarah still drive a red mini?

Tunnel vision can get you every time.

Um....why has the "red mini" personal ad. got a _Brisbane_ phone number, btw? B-) (07).
BearinOz at 4:12PM, March 1, 2014
Hey, yeah -Faceache's always the first thing I load, so great to get a new page notification that way. Nice "detective" work there, Sky'! "..Dark Side" Hah - I had to go back to see that personal ad. (probably would've noticed it eventually). Oh and that is SO like I was, too, when I was young. Worse than "Phil" B-)
AndieAgain at 1:23PM, March 1, 2014
Get back in there girl! Don't be ashamed to take risks AND CHANGE YOUR MIND! (girls' prerogative, remember?)
stangi at 9:29AM, March 1, 2014
WANTED! Cute girl who drive red mini. Please call: .... That should be a message left by Lucy for Sarah in the last panel :)
Locoma at 8:48AM, March 1, 2014
man, I hate what Sarah just did (not sending her a message or asking for info about Lucy) because I would act exactly like she did too. I would probably regret that in the car and go back to do it though ;)
DarkVisor at 6:34AM, March 1, 2014
Sad times, but at least Sarah has gotten over the Janey-funk and knows that she _can_ find love again
KimLuster at 6:11AM, March 1, 2014
Grrr... Sarah, stop! Turn right! Read! As far as the detail, I agree. Every scene with this store has been very packed and detailed. Nicely done.

That moment when you want to crawl into the comic and turn a character's head in the right direction.
