This is one of those moments I thought up a looonnng time ago. It’s so nice when it exceeds your expectation, visually.
Spy Gal has been linked to a few other Fogeys over the years (not to mention the fact that she’s still married to Jerry…wherever he is), and I’ll be honest that when I first brought Sam into the mix, I didn’t think he would end up as ANOTHER paramour for Spy Gal. But here we are, in a way that completely makes sense the better you know their characters (hopefully!)
Be back here on Thursday for our big SF 900 with a moment that, well…it’s a big one. Both literally and figuratively. See you then!
My guess… Jerry shows up on this exact moment just to see his wife and Sam kissing. Jerry has just that kind of timing…
Oof. Wouldn’t that be something.
Yeah. Actually heroic, tender and large-hearted, strong and wise… I can see why Spy Gal would fall in love with Sam. (I guess no one needs me to say why anyone would fall in love with Spy Gal.)
Oh, and that little glow off Sam’s eyepatch gem in the second panel… Mr. Lapierre, I admire you for putting in such a tiny detail that adds so much when noticed.
Marc is the KING of little touches that make a big difference, even if only subliminally.
