Different Somehow

Sheila: “I’m glad you asked me out, Nick. I haven’t gotten to know too many people since I moved here, not even the gals on the team.”
Nickey: “I don’t make friends easily. I’m not comfortable starting conversations or anything.”
Nickey: “I’m awkward when it comes to meeting people. I usually just keep to myself. But with you…“
Nickey: “…you’re different somehow.” Sheila: “Prolly just the accent.”

Nickey may never know… or will she? It’s early days, and a good relationship takes time to build. We can always hope!

I once again thank “Ambrose Bierce” for his/her partial funding, to make this strip possible. The donor who funded half the cost of this strip wishes to remain anonymous, so chose the pseudonym of the brilliant author of The Devil’s Dictionary. In that august volume, my benefactor tells us, we will find the following definition of Politics — “A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.”

To quote from the famous 1960s television show, “That would be telling.” I can promise that this isn’t the last time we see Nickey.

Nicky reminds me so much of myself. I too have trouble starting with people, and keeping them. But ones that stick with me, find someone who is quite special.

Well done strip
