Thanks. Your comment reminds me of a favorite, very old Doonesbury strip:
1st Panel: The Rev. Scott Sloane (campus chaplain) is sitting at a cafe table with another main character, Joan, Jr. (?), whom he's been dating (and is the first woman he's ever dated.)
Joan: "Scott, we need to talk." Scott's thought bubble: ("Uh-oh")
2nd Panel: Joan: "I've been doing some serious thinking about our relationship..." Scott's thought bubble: ("Here it comes")
Third panel: Joan: "And I just think we're not growing and should probably move on..."
Scott's frantic thought bubble: (Don't let her get away! Say something! Say anything! C'mon Scott. Think, man, think!
Last Panel: Joan has left. Scott: Alone at the table (after desperately thinking for a response): "Your loss, toots!!"
Anyway, even without the visual, I always thought it was a hoot.
