| Why Do You Love Me? |
 Title text: Opening dialogue by Scott |
[edit] Explanation
In this comic, Cueball asks "Why do you love me?" to Megan, a fairly common question that couples ask each other. She responds "My heart never gave me a choice", a seemingly very sentimental, romantic answer. However, after a beat panetl she effectively kills the romance of the moment by adding, "I wish it had", indicating that she would rather not have loved Cueball.

I figure 95% of the population will agree with the fact that the last panel "kills the moment".
But, I think there's an alternative way to interpret this too: If Megan mentions "I wish it had" as a prelude to "Then I'd be able to give you a better answer, as to why I picked you...", would atleast 5% of the population would agree that it embellishes the moment?
