Sandra and Woo ran a strip recently that went like this:
Woo: Sandra?
Sandra: Hmm?Woo: I’ve got the feeling that you aren’t showing me as much affection as you used to.
Sandra: Oh no, why would you believe such a horrible thing?
Woo: You haven’t given me a tummy rub since Monday!Sandra [rubbing Woo's tummy]: Sigh
Woo: Mmmm.
Seriously though. Consider how much Heros have to pet and groom their Masters. Flonyard is a great place for a vacation, but living there permanently is a different matter. There are so many ways in which the relationship may take an ugly turn.
Upon a further flight of fancy, a buddy of mine lived in Tokyo for 2 years. He said that he could not take "being in a concrete box" anymore, when he moved to London. I guess it's all very personal!
