            A single-panel comic strip set in a writer's messy home office. A disheveled, red-haired man wearing a plaid shirt stands in handcuffs. Two police officers stand beside him in the doorway. One of the officers speaks via a speech bubble that reads, "We got a call that you killed off your main character." In the background, a laptop open to a text document sits on a desk surrounded by stacks of books, a mug, crumpled paper on the floor, and a full bookshelf.

              "Love is Not a Feeling to Pass Away"

BY CHARLES DICKENS

Love is not a feeling to pass away, Like the balmy breath of a summer day; It is not it cannot be - laid aside; It is not a thing to forget or hide. It clings to the heart, ah, woe is me! As the ivy clings to the old oak tree.

Love is not a passion of earthly mould, As a thirst for honour, or fame, or gold: For when all these wishes have died away, The deep strong love of a brighter day, Though nourished in secret, consumes the more, As the slow rust eats to the iron's core.
