What you’re looking at

This ten-panel comic strip presents a humorous narrative about determination in romance. A man in formal attire (top hat and suit) pursues a woman through increasingly absurd scenarios: horseback riding, airplane piloting, and parachuting. Each panel shows the woman rejecting or escaping his advances—she falls from horses, abandons airplanes, and refuses his mounted proposal. The final panel depicts the man, now on horseback, thanking the woman "very much" as she stands beside him. The caption "Love will find a way" suggests romantic persistence ultimately succeeds, though the woman's consistent resistance throughout creates ironic humor. The satire gently mocks both determined suitors and the era's romanticized notions of courtship.
