==Explanation==
[[Cueball]] asks "Why do you love me?" to [[Megan]], a fairly common question that couples ask each other. She responds by saying, "My heart never gave me a choice," a seemingly very sentimental, romantic answer. However, after a {{w|Beat_(filmmaking)|beat panel}}, she effectively kills the romance of the moment by adding, "I wish it had," indicating that she would rather not have loved Cueball.

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, she effectively kills the romance of the moment by adding, "I wish it had".
  
[[Scott]] appears to be a friend of [[Randall Munroe]]. Comics 57 through 59 all have the title text ''[[:Category:Opening dialogue by Scott|Opening dialogue by Scott]]'', forming a sort of informal mini-series inspired by him. They are:
 
*[[57: Wait For Me]]
 
*[[58: Why Do You Love Me?]]
 
*[[59: Graduation]]
 
As there already was a comic released on Monday that week, the first of these three was released on Tuesday, then Wednesday and Friday. This may be related to the fact that this was the first week where the comics were not also released on [[LiveJournal]].
