[Panel 1]
(Caption: A few nights later, Angus checks in with his employer, the Lethal Librarian.)
Angus: Yes, ma’am, I’m nearly finished stocking the safehouse.

[Panel 2]
Angus (on the phone): You didn’t warn me about Mrs. Elliot. She thinks I’m a cow!
She keeps insisting I leave quarts of milk on her front stoop.

[Panel 3]
(Close-up of the Lethal Librarian on the phone, looking incredulous.)
Lethal Librarian: That’s ridiculous! You don’t have udders!

[Panel 4]
(Caption: "There was only one way to make her stop.")
(Angus is seen sneaking up Mrs. Elliot’s stairs at night, placing bottles of white liquid on her doorstep.)

[Panel 5]
(Lethal Librarian, shocked on the phone.)
Lethal Librarian: Great Gutenberg’s ghost! You didn’t!

Courting Disaster: Oct. 19, 2007

Courting Disaster, my weekly comic about sex, love, and relationships updates every Friday. You’ll laugh your pants off.

This week’s question:

Q: I am 25 years old, and I have been with my girlfriend for three years. I plan on marrying her, and she swears she wants to be with me forever. We have known each other since we were 15, and we are best friends. She recently confided in me that she worries about having regrets since she hasn’t slept with anyone besides me in 5 years. We took a break in college and while she dated, she didn’t sleep with anyone. I understand the sentiment but I can’t help but be a little worried. In my expereince, women in love usually have tunnel vision, and they don’t think about sleeping with other men. And if they do they don’t bring it up. I don’t fault her for feeling this way. I just wonder if it’s a sign that — while she loves me as a boyfriend and could be happy being my wife (I’m a great catch by the way) — she isn’t in love with me. Help.

Go on over and offer some advice.
