“I love you!” in comic strip and in my life: comic strip is life

In recent weeks I would LINE my daughters the moment Pirates beat whatever team they’re playing and they would respond with a sticker.  Each win was unique, so was the sticker.  Pirates must have won more games than the number of stickers they have amassed; that is probably why Pirates lost the last 2 games, lest they would exhaust their vast collection of stickers.

We at times communicated with stickers in LINE; one time (The LINE in my iPhone says it was August 22) I sent a sticker of teddy bear with the words of “I Love You” embedded.  They were surprised and thrilled as they never heard I said “I love you” to them.  I responded “So reserved a man I am, I can never utter ‘I love you’ to anyone, even the loved ones; may be the sticker made it easier to say.”  Janice wrote, “this is interesting . . . I wonder if that’s the appeal of the stickers” in LINE.

A few days later this “I love you” thing was running in Pickles comic strip. (Sylvia is the daughter of Earl and Opal Pickles, Roscoe is their dog.)  Enjoy them.
