If I’m being celibate, does that mean I’ve quit drinking?

Women purchase 85% of all Valentine greeting cards sold worldwide.
That leaves um… about 85% of men celibate on Valentine’s Day?

“Tomorrow is Saint Valentine’s day,
All in the morning betime,
And I a maid at your window,
To be your Valentine.”

William Shakespeare, as spoken by Ophelia in Hamlet

Today’s comic was inspired by Rachael (aka “Ratchet”) Johnson’s Barista Girl.

    No way, I’m in like the top twenty? AND I’m above R.T….man, he’ll be bitter…er…more bitter about that!
    Total win.

    Happy St. Vally’s too.

    Also, is your hand all crunched up in the comic because of continuity? I seem to remember you got it (and the rest of your body) dragged into a crusher. Continuity is rather picky like that.

  2. Eidur Says:

    LOL so glad I’m like in the top “20″ too… and over Dandellion ahahahah
    - actually she made me discover this amazing space… so long Dand! :) -
    and happy Vally-day to all of you too!!!
    And actually “no”, it doesn’t mean I’ve quit drinking :P

    P.S.

    Happy Valentine’s Day Sera!

  10. Grace Martin Says:

    Hi Sera. I love your cartoons. Happy Valentine’s day!

  11. Abigail Says:

    Happy V-Day to you Sera. I do like the comic … I like a good murder every now and then!

    I was celibate by choice for 10 years, then I celebrated.

    Canadian author, Margaret Attwood: ‘The eskimos had fifty-two names for snow because it was important to them: there ought to be as many for love. ‘

  13. Erik Tjallinks Says:

    Brrrr… The contrast between the conversation and what they are doing! I think sobriety is better than living celibate. Sobriety is being not under the influence of alcohol, celibate is being under the influence of temptation, which can make a man and a woman unhappy. Unhappiness by sobriety is for alcoholics, which is luckily a minority who can be helped, helping a celibate makes the celibate unhappy because (s)he will lose her celibate, which makes him/her unhappy. Or…

    BTW a great comic again, even though it’s on the edge :)

  15. rags Says:

    Cool! i saw my name up on the list! Thanks! i am amazed that women purchase 85% of all Valentine greeting cards sold worldwide. I thought that it was men who bought most cards.

  16. ratchet Says:

    Celebes is better than celibacy, not better than Appletinis though. Only cuz thats what Conan O’Brien drinks. AWESOME. Er…Jawsome.

  17. Stunner Says:

    Thanks for the Valentine shout out! :) I hope you have a wonderful day! I like how your comic blends in with the photo well.

    belated 14th of February.
    Never crossed my mind to send a Hallmark card. Delivered a red current jam instead.
    Appletini? Never had one, sounds digestible though.
