Forward Motion

Theo: “Cora, did you ever see the old TV show ‘Beauty and the Beast?’ The original?” Cora: “The best. Ron Perlman as Vincent, prime-time’s first furry.”
Theo: “In the episode ‘Orphans,’ when Catherine loses her father, she and Vincent talk about where their relationship is going. It’s mostly the same conversation we’re having.”
Theo: “Vincent said, ‘We are something that has never been. We must go with care.’ They knew that they had to proceed slowly.”
Cora: “The word ‘proceed’ implies some sort of forward motion.” Theo: “Yes, but you’re talking fast-forward.”

I’m still a fan of that romantic series (most of it, anyway). This episode came to mind as I was creating the strip back in 2010, and I made notes to remember it for when the strip would finally come to life. Vincent’s speech is much longer, but I thought it best to keep it short for the strip. Another note: This episode, the 12th of the second season, has Vincent and Catherine’s first kiss. At least Theo and Cora didn’t have to wait that long.
