Since I feel like taking a 'nother communal field trip down to comic book history, I give thee a few pages I scanned off of a typical romance rag which may or may not have mindrinsed a few 14 year olds in its time.

Welp, let us snark.

No man is safe! As our possessive heroine Susan takes her boyfriend out for a leisurely bike ride, sure enough, Lorelei is on the man-hunt already!

I don't know if anyone noticed, but that redhead in 2nd panel was totally pushing her garbanzos.

AND OMG, my world is crashing down in PINK

Yyyyeah, sure you are.

Our narrator tries to convince us that their love is OMG true, but right now I'm thinking, How many people has gotten AIDS by now?

Love romance comics. I shouldn't, but they're such good crack.

Is this where you got your name?

I know that sounds like a silly question, but since we've moved over to InsaneJournal, you would have had the chance to change it ...

It's actually a username I used for years, pretty much everywhere but jf and lj. I originally took it from the Heinrich Heine poem/Schumann Lied. But it's always fun to see siren characters, even in a non-literal context.

Oh yes, the japanese ones are even better because the sheer arsenal of "This is the emotion the characters are feeling" is so much larger. But these western ones are cool as well. We need more romance comics in the world!

I'm getting definite Betty vs. Veronica vibes, despite the hair colours being reversed.

Also, Susan is a desperate idiot if she's willing to marry a guy she knows has been cheating on Lorelei with her. Earth to Susan: if he did that with one steady girlfriend...

Seriously. That and the fact that he looks like her DAD were not helping my squick-factor.

Though I do kind of like the title of this comic.

"I BEGGED HER don't steal my love!"

O RLY?

Seriously, how far did she go? 8D

Wait, how do we know what her dad looks like?

Or are you just referring to his age? You have a valid point there, anyway. Guy looks like he's thirty something at least, whereas she looks like sixteen.

His age. She's talking like she's a high school teen, and he looks like a high school teacher.

I keep saying, dude. Leash laws are the answer. But no, no, it would be "inhumane." Pish and nonsense! What's inhumane is leaving you poor dears loose to fend for yourselves.

"I think you'd like Colletta's!"

"Everything there is so light and feathery!"

"The decor is very minimalist!"

"No matter how crowded it is, it always looks like we're the only people there!"

"The service is very fast, because he's got so many assistants helping him!"

Surely there must be more?

Lorelei is creepy. I mean, she's not that smooth: clearly, some kind of terrible mind-control powers are at work here.

It's a little something called "putting out".

Worked basically like mind control back then, yeah.

Nothing in the story is as good as that first splash image. Lorelei looks like a jaded French resistance chick.

I expected there to be some veiled reference to Lorelei having looser morales and that's why all the boys liked her.
