The “Deaf Date” idea came to me in a fit of madness. Most people have been on blind dates at some point; most people have found them to be every bit as awkward and uncomfortable as the title implies. Now take it a step further and imagine going on a date with someone who could kill you in less than a second, and does nothing more than sit across from you staring in stony, uh, silence.
Great comic possibilities here. And yes, more surprises are afoot in the upcoming strips. Surprises always go afoot; they don’t have change for the tolls.
