| − | This | + | This comic expresses how the nature of love can be painful when closely examined, as in every relationship one party must love the other party the most. |
| − | + | Instead of continuing [[Cueball]]'s escalation by saying the expected response "I love ''you'' more!" [[Megan]] stops and agrees with him: he does love her more than she loves him. The couple then walk away unphased. | |
| − | In the title text, [[Randall]] expresses how this comic is shockingly stark in its portrayal of love. | + | Often couples escalate the claims of how much they love each other. Typically, however, the couple never openly admit this not wanting to cause pain to there partner, but love by its very nature must be unbalanced as no two things can ever truly be equal. This is one of loves painful truths. |
