The last panel is probably the only part of “Marry Me” that won’t be better in the movie. Just so priceless.
June 22nd, 2008 at 1:40 pm
HAH her expression at the end is awesome. Her jaw should go a little lower and hit the floor.

June 22nd, 2008 at 1:47 pm
that was quite a shocker…. what will happen now? what will she say? what will she think? dun dun dun….
June 22nd, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Wasn’t expecting that. Guy accomplished two things, Mr. Tyler’s approval of him, and for showing Mr. Tyler that he cares. Nice.
I would definitely buy the book if you had it online.
June 22nd, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
That’s so cute. (And hopefully non-contentious.
June 22nd, 2008 at 1:57 pm
That is a priceless expression on her face. If she takes everything as a sign I wonder how she’d take this?
Maybe the talk show’s name should be “Everybody loves that Guy”
June 22nd, 2008 at 1:59 pm
damn but Guy is good. too good… he has to be an alien! (or a vampire)
June 22nd, 2008 at 2:00 pm
I like panel 5. It looks all dynamic.
June 22nd, 2008 at 2:05 pm
If it wasn’t already confirmed, Guy is officially my hero.
No irony intended…
June 22nd, 2008 at 2:13 pm
lol wut?
June 22nd, 2008 at 2:29 pm
“They shook hands? And we’re not married? WHAT THE *bleep*”
June 22nd, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Fantastic. It breaks my heart to think it’s almost over, but it’s been an awesome ride, guys. Things are really coming together, and I’m starting to get that warm feeling that happens when everything turns out well. I hope it does, at least. Much love, fellas.
June 22nd, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Yay ! Guy is just awesome : )
June 22nd, 2008 at 2:55 pm
This is the type of comic that needs to be on my bookshelf. Most likely twice…
June 22nd, 2008 at 3:10 pm
All the good guys have beards. That’s great, just great!
June 22nd, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Well, you want posted comments of who would buy? I would. Just… ya know… FYI.
June 22nd, 2008 at 3:41 pm
I am sorry to say this Bobby, but you don’t manage to sell off Mr Tyler as the jerk you insisted on concerning the last strip.
He is able to appreciate having been taken for a ride.
A sense of humor at one’s own cost is a no-no for jerks.
Maybe it’s Eisu’s “fault”, but that smile of his does not seem forced or calculated. The last comic was very much “This Guy _has_ potential”, but this one is “This Guy has _guts_. And I like them.”
It quite looks like he’ll be “Your pick to make. You could do worse than him.” Ok, we know as per spoiler that he is not actually going to speak with Stasia…
June 22nd, 2008 at 3:42 pm
.. Oh my god. o_o This page sooo rocks. (and like always, the MS Paint Sketch thingy made me laugh). Stasia really looks stunned. Very good job on this page, can hardly way for the others =3
June 22nd, 2008 at 3:43 pm
wait marry me is gonna be a movie? and by graphic novel like a comic book. If so will we be able to buy online?
Also SICK PAGE! That is awsome
June 22nd, 2008 at 4:01 pm
“I am sorry to say this Bobby, but you don’t manage to sell off Mr Tyler as the jerk you insisted on concerning the last strip.”
Don’t really get it. Even jerks can have good moments and this goes to show Guy’s skill. This is the big happy ending starting. Five pages of happiness.
June 22nd, 2008 at 4:02 pm
my two Ana OoO
June 22nd, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Heh, personally I think of that handshake as a
Guy: “Checkmate.”
Dad: “Well played.”
kind of thing, just a begrudging respect kind of smile, the standard ‘he’s got me there.’ bit
June 22nd, 2008 at 4:06 pm
But the look on Stay’s face is priceless, just a ‘@#$@! me…’ look, Gold.
June 22nd, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Oh, wow. That last panel with Stasia’s face… I lol’d. For real. Best face ever. Great job on drawing that, Eisu! XD
In response to the comments about how Mr. Tyler is supposed to be a jerk… He may be pushy, but he is just looking out for his family. He just goes too far with it. Well, it is Bobby’s character though, and if Bobby thinks he’s a jerk, then I guess he’s a jerk, hahah. But I like Mr. Tyler. At least his motives behind wanting to “hoard” (for lack of a better word) the money are noble, thanks to the clarification in the past comics.
June 22nd, 2008 at 4:18 pm
“if Bobby thinks he’s a jerk, then I guess he’s a jerk”
He schemed behind Stasia’s back to set her up multiple times with a stupid moron who she hates (Christian).
“At least his motives behind wanting to ‘hoard’ (for lack of a better word) the money are noble”
I don’t think they’re noble. They have more than enough money and the noble thing is giving so much away to charity and cancer research, which he’s against (against doing so much of it).
June 22nd, 2008 at 4:34 pm
I love this page. There is simply nothing else I can say, except that I absolutely love it. It’s wonderful. Fantastically done, Bobby and Eisu.
June 22nd, 2008 at 4:53 pm
i think stasia is thinking “ok daddy bought this guy as well, i’ve been had again! that thing with Christian was all a setup!”
June 22nd, 2008 at 4:56 pm
I love her face in the last panel.
June 22nd, 2008 at 5:12 pm
@Bobby: the characters and story you write are not one-dimensional, and the drawings lend another dimension to it. Real-life persons are seen by other humans in a variety of different ways. That’s natural.
If your characters are not as boring and black-and-white to be seen identically by all sorts of different readers, that’s not really something bad, I think. It means that your characters have depth and can be seen from more than one angle. I think it is a compliment to your storywriting that people can identify even with the motivation of characters you design as jerks.

“Bobby: the characters and story you write are not one-dimensional, and the drawings lend another dimension to it. Real-life persons are seen by other humans in a variety of different ways. That’s natural.”
Why the hell are you telling me this? Do you want to tell me that 2+2 is 4 now?
“I think it is a compliment to your storywriting that people can identify even with the motivation of characters you design as jerks.”
Anyone who likes Mr. Tyler is either a jerk or a moron or doesn’t remember things he did earlier in the story (this happens constantly).
June 22nd, 2008 at 5:25 pm
Guy is wonderful and just perfect cause he was able to pull that off without Mr. Tyler having a total explosion on him. And Stasia…….I know she is shocked but once she gets over the mild state of silince. She will relize now she doesn’t have to worry about ‘Daddy’ disaproving of Guy who she so obviously is falling for. Its so AWWWWWWW HOW CUTE in a way. It made me giggle wonderful art and story line as usual!
June 22nd, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Unfortunately, the handshake is just a “let’s be friends” shake, rather than a “welcome to the family, son” shake. But we’ll see that one soon!
June 22nd, 2008 at 6:06 pm
Now THAT’S how you do an “OMFG!” look.
June 22nd, 2008 at 6:51 pm
I’d have to agree with Galamere about this comic, although I can imagine Mr. Tyler adding a simple ‘Heh’, in panel four.
The man’s a jerk, but he does have his moments. I wonder how Stasia’s going to handle all this…
June 22nd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
heheh!
aww daddy looks so nice when he smiles!!
June 22nd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
All I have to say is, with so few pages left, will there still be enough time for Stasia to cure cancer?
June 22nd, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Well, I guess there’ll still be time to cure cancer after the scope of the movie.
If there were more pages left, I would totally expect Stasia to take the handshake as proof that she’s being set up again, although this time for failure in the relationship.
June 22nd, 2008 at 7:55 pm
Just love that last panel…
I would be interested in buying the book.. though honestly, I wouldn’t mind waiting more just for the series just be a little bit longer.. then again.. I don’t know if you could even wait longer to get this in print…
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:05 pm
Hahah! Love Stasia’s reaction in the last panel.
She’s so cute. <3
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:12 pm
hmmm…
If there was more time left in the series (why is so important that it end soon, anyway?), I’d say this looks like the beginnings of some “crazy mixup”
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:13 pm
You’re a genius.
I’m sorry, but:
You’re a genius.
I won’t be a prick and say it a third time, though.
” :O “
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:14 pm
“why is so important that it end soon, anyway?”
That’s like asking why it’s important for “Sleepless in Seattle” to end soon when there’s five minutes left.
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:17 pm
“(why is so important that it end soon, anyway?),”
He’s stated many times that it needs to be done for the comic-con. Which is in 5 days. I think.
(Tried going back a few pages to search for a date, couldn’t find it.)
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Mattz: That’s not what he meant.
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:25 pm
i just red the comic from the beging to this page.
and i must say one thing.
“THIS IS A FREKING MASTERPECE”
when i get o comic con i am definatly gona get a copy.
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:32 pm
This is a fantastic webcomic. It’s certainly geared for women to go “awwwww…” over, but at the same time, it’s got enough cool stuff and fun jokes to make it enjoyable for guys as well. I nearly laughed my ass off when Guy punched Christian in the face. “NO, NOT THE FACE!” Awesome job, and I’ll be sad when this comic is over, but I am glad that mini-stories will be cropping up from time to time!
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:38 pm
omg! It is lookin’ freakin’ awesome! I love her face, she kills me. ^.^
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:40 pm
In my dreams, Guy would be played by Robert Downey Jr.
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:52 pm
“ZOMC NO WAY!”
Heh, good going Guy. ^__^
~Istra~
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:54 pm
OMG her face at the end is priceless ^^

That’s a fact: all good guys DO have beards. Good catch.
June 22nd, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Who’s the guy who isn’t Guy with the brown hair and glasses in the first panel?
June 22nd, 2008 at 9:23 pm
“Anyone who likes Mr. Tyler is either a jerk or a moron or doesn’t remember things he did earlier in the story (this happens constantly).”
…or just someone who appreciates how the character was created.
Anyways…Forgive me if it’s been asked, but will this comic be shipping out to any major stores at any point? If not, I may order it online. I’m fairly interested in a copy.
June 22nd, 2008 at 9:27 pm
i think this calles for a man-hug in the next page, you know right hand still in the hand shake left arm hug and pat.
this is just a freaking sweet comic and im glad you are continuing it past the origonal plot.
most webcomics of epic scale are written to the point where there is a guarinteed end, and admittidly it is good to end things, and to end them with all thing setteled.
movie wise, yes it is nearing the end, webcomic wise, i see this going for years.
June 22nd, 2008 at 9:28 pm
“or just someone who appreciates how the character was created.”
Hmm. You can certainly enjoy/be entertained by the character, but I was specifically referring to liking him as a person. Like people who actually like Draco and want him to marry Hermione and crap like that. I hate those people.
“will this comic be shipping out to any major stores at any point?”
It’s months late to comic shops. Was solicited for April, should be in stores at the end of July. Didn’t get a million orders, though — most likely you’ll need to order it from this site.
June 22nd, 2008 at 10:43 pm
I can understand people saying they ‘like’ Stasia’s father as a character; villains are easy to like, they often have the most flamboyant personalities. That doesn’t mean you want to live next door to them, or *shudder* be related to them.
Much as I hate to see this particular story come to a conclusion, I’m kind of glad as well. (And I will be watching for those promised short stories!) Otherwise I would expect Ana’s reaction to the handshake to lead to some huge misunderstanding before she and Guy were able to resolve things. As it is, with the end so close it’s more likely to cement her decision, which I suspect will involve her holding the ‘Marry Me?’ sign up to Guy, or something similar. Great work as usual!
June 22nd, 2008 at 11:07 pm
If this ending goes anywhere near a song and dance routine, I will laugh heartily and wait for the “Lol, Joke!” to appear on screen…
Just please don’t do it.
Loving the comic, expertly written by Bobby with beautiful artwork from Eisu.
Whats not to love!!!
June 22nd, 2008 at 11:30 pm
What!? Only four more pages?…*sniff*…oh no…I’m a man…I can’t cry…musn’t…cry…*sniff*…WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Cursed emotions! Ah well it was an absolute BLAST reading this web comic. I have no other choice but to see it to the end. Many, many thanks for creating such a wonderful story Bobby; and Remy for bringing out such amazing life from the characters onto the comic panels! You two deserve a giant medal each made of solid gold and encrusted with diamonds. Then you can sell it on ebay or something for tons of mullah and use the cash to make the movie!
June 22nd, 2008 at 11:32 pm
Part of “guy” plan…LOL!
June 22nd, 2008 at 11:44 pm
[BOBBY: Anyone who likes Mr. Tyler is either a jerk or a moron or doesn’t remember things he did earlier in the story]
I’m an optimist (and this is a comedy, not tragedy
), so I often hope for redemption, where reasonable. Mind you, there are degrees. What Julianne did to Michael in My Best Friend’s Wedding was underhanded, but it had your “happy ending”. And Darcy was redeemed in Pride in Prejudice. Or even Scrooge in A Christmas Carol. Even Darcy’s crasser relatives eventually came around to having a civilized, though chilled, relationship with Elizabeth.
So I don’t see Mr. Tyler as a villain. Perhaps he has a bit of Archie Bunker to him. Archie was a “jerk”, but for all the annoying things he did, you still liked the guy. Or at least begrudgingly enjoyed disliking him.

I hope they can cast someone good but not him, but then again there are not too meny really good actors young enough to play Guy. Downey is not really Guy material. Who would you get to play the bodyguard - Spike Lee?
June 23rd, 2008 at 1:04 am
How about Orlando Bloom for Guy, Ving Rhames(sp?) for the bodyguard, and….hmmm, too bad he’s retired, Sean Connery would be great as the father….
June 23rd, 2008 at 5:27 am
@FenrisWolf:
I kind of like the idea of Bloom for Guy but Rhames… I don’t know, he’s a bit too “Bad MuthaF–ka”. Denny’s got a tough-guy veneer, but he’s really just a big sweetheart underneath.
June 23rd, 2008 at 7:11 am
Facial expression in the last panel for the win?
June 23rd, 2008 at 8:32 am
Nah, I like Mr. Tyler about as much as I like Dr. Doom or any good antagonist - I relish them as a bad guy, love them as a character, but would likely loathe them in real life. I understand his motives - I did jerks pretty well during my last ten years as an actor - but that doesn’t mean I have to like his actions.

Orlando Bloom? hmmm thats not a bad idea at all. Sean Connery as the dad would be nice but i don’t think he’ld do it, maybe we can get Kelsy Gramer as the dad. How about “sir mixalot” as the bodyguard?
June 23rd, 2008 at 11:08 pm
I must be the only one who just can’t seem to put together “Guy” and “Orlando Bloom.” I guess I can see where you’re coming from with it, but I just can’t visually see him playing Guy.
June 27th, 2008 at 4:16 am
hey, guy is soooooooooo goooodddd (just like me) he’s like an angel!!!!!!!!!!!! andddddddddddd, i really like ur comic this really must have a movie one! and i would watch 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000+ times!!! hehehe!! and pls. watch POKEMON, especially pokemon advance generation
June 27th, 2008 at 11:33 am
Isn’t Sean Connery dead? No, wait, not dead; he *is* 78, though. A little out of Mr. Tyler’s age range? Ving Rhames would make a perfect Denny, though. Mark Wahlberg as Guy, maybe? Anyway…
Loved the handshake, even if it was just a “let’s be friends” shake rather than a “welcome to the family” shake. And oh boy, if Mr. Tyler was shocxked by “Parker”, he’s going to really hate the next page.
June 30th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
I agree with tegan. guy has GOT to be a vampire to be this perfect lol
July 6th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
All I have to say is, awww…
