Hearing people saying “I’ll love you no matter what,” really gets my panties in a bunch. They think it to be romantic, but it can only be interpreted to mean one of two things:
So next time your lover whispers it sweetly into your ear, dump them on the spot. That’ll learn ‘em.
Credit goes to the wonderful and multi-talented Anna for inspiring this strip. Actually, the so-called inspiration was just her retelling a story about her brother. Badly, at that. I take back that credit and give it to the real Jonah who was obviously an awesome kid.

FYI, this is one of your more hilarious concepts.
I have a third, less depressing option, which is how I’d mean this if I ever felt inclined to say it: I love everyone, but circumstances have led to your being important to my life. So yeah, you could be anyone else and I’d still love you, but you *are* more important to me than other people because we’re screwing or you’re my offspring or i’ve known you since i was four or whatever.
I think with people’s kids it generally *is* your first one, “there’s nothing special about you that makes me love you,” and i’m okay with that, basically.
