Description My Valentine's Day comic strip.

As the note beneath the title says, this strip has a musical accompaniment and is meant to be read while listening to this beautiful little waltz by Irving Berlin.
Please go to YouTube and type HARRY NILSSON ALWAYS, then reduce the YouTube page and view the strip with the background music playing. The song is only one minute forty seconds long....

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to you all, my friends and colleagues!!! --Ric C.

...Thank you Carole, I'm really proud of this one. My editor at the paper has an idea and is likely to turn this into a "slideshow" with the music playing in the background to post on YouTube---that would be very cool.
...for Valentine's Day I wanted to show Ben and Bonnie's courtship in a series of photographs, another of my attempts to tell a clear story without dialog or captions. But I knew it would need an intro and an "outro", thus the color panels of the Gramophone and the tag at the end, to bookend the story.
I'm glad you liked it, me dear friend.....
