Cornered by Mike Baldwin for February 11, 2024

Small: “Gag” reflex. Large: “Escape” mentality.

Is that a no?

She musta comes to knows of your plot to chokes her on that reeng and keels her.

I know that I can be a bit thick, sometimes, but I understand that he was proposing, the ring champagne and on his knees, and his not-to-be fiancée escaping through the bathroom window, but what has the bird-toy and cat got to do with it…

First Panel: Someday he’ll look back at this moment and wished he’d given it more thought.

Second Panel: Someday she’ll look back at the moment and be very pleased with herself.

Ahh, the old engagement-ring-in-the brisket plan… good one!

And now you know why there are windows in bathrooms! What’d you think they were for!?

she’ll be breathless AND choked up.

Really should not have opened that third bottle … really…

“She snuck out through the bathroom window.”

I feel sorry for the men in today’s toons.

Should have had the same guy in both panels

As Paul sang, “She left through the bathroom window…”

Put the ring where she’ll see it so she doesn’t next to her plate at the restaurant….

Better early than later……

Caption 1: Lofty aspirations.

Caption 2: She must have had a prior engagement.

This is definitely one where the initial panel adds a lot to the story.

Sounds like someone had a few bad Valentine’s Day surprises!

I see Mike had romance on his mind when he crew these!

if he hides the ring in her food the choke’ll be on him…

The untied shoe in the large cartoon is a nice touch.
