I'm getting all choked up here man. Felt like you were proposing to ME. Well done Leigh, best of luck with everything. Word of advice: do it asap before her Ma gets involved and it snowballs.
Hope she said YES! This is the sweetest thing a comic book artist/geek could do for their significant other. As a species, we're really not that bad.Congrats guys.
Well done fella. Not only did Dafoe finish this week and a cracking read it was, you go and post on of the most romantic proposals i seen yet. Bill Murray's got nothing on you. Although i was surprised her name was Niki and not Pat. But Pat's got one in every port i reckon. :P
That sucked! There were no explosions or zombies in this comic. Where's the dang plot twist, man? C'mon, ya gotta have a plot twist! More gore and blood!
Dave Roman proposed to Raina Telgemeier this way several years ago. http://www.webcomicsnation.com/daveroman/engaged/series.php?view=archive&chapter=2085
Nonetheless, I wish I had the artistic ability and guts to do it either way.
This proposal was so romantic and original. It will be something your fiancee will never forget.
Thanks for sharing, and if she said yes, (the blog doesn't say what her response was), I wish you both many many years of happines, love and laughter together.
Ahh thanks again guys. We are STUNNED at the response it's had around the net. This blog has had around 150,000 hits!
To all of you who found yourselves here via a random link, she said yes! You can just got to the top of this blog and click the main logo, to see the latest blog entry.
Just another anonymous person (who followed a link on http://wedinator.icanhascheezburger.com) who was moved nearly to tears. Brilliant, Leigh...now don't fuck it up ;)
Wow... I still can't believe this is still getting around! Thanks guys, truly.It's very humbling to get so many nice messages from lovely people I've never met.
For any of those who missed the answer, head to this post:
Dude! That is so good! That makes me feel like I am being such a weirdo to my girlfriend. This helped me to remember that I need to do something that hasn't been done before! Something creative! THX LEIGH!
My lord! I love the strip, and I have to say, that's incredibly romantic!
ReplyDeleteI hope she says yes...
I do hope she says yes!
ReplyDelete:D
Nice lettering!
ReplyDeleteClassy, sir. Self effacing and very funny. Best of luck & happiness. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThis is the coolest proposal I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Defoe is looking rushed. You're spending yer time working on a proposal strip!
ReplyDeleteGet back to proper work, ya bum!
Separate thread for the response?? Your public want to know!
ReplyDeleteOh bravo - you make even the best of us look like cold-hearted unromantic lumps!
ReplyDeleteShe'd better say yes after all that - I know I would and that'd just be weird.
NO! I'm going after the other guy.
ReplyDeleteniki

ReplyDeleteYes! Yes, damn you, I will!
ReplyDeleteYes. Yes I will. Very muchly so thank you.
ReplyDeleteAand the answer is?

ReplyDeleteThat's brill Leigh. Did she say yes lol? I'm so happy for you both. It's about bloody time though x
ReplyDeleteYou're a lovely fella, that much is obvious. All the best with Niki's response - I suspect you're going to be hearing something positive.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll shut up and let someone more gorgeous come in ...
Well done Leigh & Niki, I am available for weddings, christenings & bar mitvahs
ReplyDeleteThis is embarrassing me.
