Has this ever happened to you???

Space exploration, skydiving, and even voter registration - needless to say, some tasks are better left to the professionals. And that's where your friends from Ink, Paint & Tears... come in, doing the jobs that would otherwise leave you feeling broke and humiliated! Some might argue that dating falls right in line with the aforementioned categories and lately, I can't say as I would necessarily disagree...but we're not here to talk about me, now are we?

(Note: No, we're not...)

Anyways, this week's very special Valentine's Day edition of the strip is not only special because it depicts what a whole lot of you will very likely be doing next week as the day of all days rolls around, but also because - as you may have noticed - there's a new character in town in the land of L7 Comix! Call him Barry, call him Chester, call him pretty much anything you want at this point because we've yet to actually choose a name for him ourselves! That said, we're open to suggestions, so do drop us a line if you come up with something cool - we'd be happy to make it worth your while if we end up using your suggestion. He may not be one of the regulars around here, but everyone deserves a name, don't they?

Hope everyone has a safe and accident-free Valentine's Day! I'm sure Lori will be doing whatever engaged people do on romantic holidays such as this, whereas I've already got a TV dinner in the freezer special for the occasion, so if you're looking for a little loving and happen to find yourself in central Florida this time of year, drop me an e-mail and we'll do dinner! I'll even throw in your very own copy of the brand-new Ink, Paint & Tears... 2006 Wall Calendar - autographed and everything as your priceless souvenir from what will likely be the most romantic night of your life!

Think about it...

P.S. Ok, maybe just a discount on the calendar - we've got to pay the bills around here somehow. Either way, you're still getting a pretty good deal...
