A Curious Case of Romance Heroine Dickery
This is short but sweet (in a sugar-high, sour manner), gang!
For all my browsing on romance comics (well, everyone needs a hobby); this is *one* case where the heroine dickery is deliciously obvious and THERE IS NO HAPPY ENDING. No random proposal, no white wedding wrap ups, and no cheesy monologues! Wah-hey!
Meet the girl that's doing all the dicking;
This is Brenda. She's our little hubristic heroine who thinks that NO guy is good enough for her until she thinks so...
See what I mean? Looks like she's working on a plan for her future.
Oh! That reminds me, she also likes shopping. *rolls eyes*
Yes, the coat looks LESS INSANE on you, dear.
Aahhh, yet another comic showing the same consistency of people jumping into Lust Mindless infatuation a relationship within just a matter of hours.
Remember how in one issue we got a heroine that won't stop talking about how poor she is? Here's one that won't stop talking about how high she is everyone else looks like ants.
But you've just said--AH Furgeddaboudit!
Ladies and gents, Anna Nicole Smith Brenda the Gold-digger. See that? She's crying tears for the shattered dreams of pay checks and celeb status. But at least we got to see a guy make a clear getaway from her icy clutches instead of going through MORE pages of her chasing after him or vice versa so 'credible' apologies and marriage can ensue.
