Welcome to the first installment of
Tales from the Personals, word-for-word reenactments in comic strip form of ads ripped from the personals section of the weekly birdcage liner. Chapter I is taken from the pages of Seattle's excellent local rag,
The Stranger, which features an
"I Saw U" section for singles who want to reconnect with randoms they didn't have the guts to ask out the first time around. Thanks to the classifieds, social wimps can pretend they've grown a pair of balls!
This first chapter of
Tales from the Personals is about a missed connection on the ski slopes. I'm not sure who wrote it, but it makes absolutely no sense. Enjoy!
