Picture the scene: you're in the car with your partner, on your way to a party. You're in a fight; the ignoring each other, hating each other's guts type of fight. You're seething. You want to kill him. The sound of his breathing is making you want to throw yourself out of the car. He will be sleeping on the couch tonight. Before you know it, you've arrived at your destination, and you realize, in horror, that it's time to get out. You say goodbye to the bliss of sitting there in awkward silence and compose yourself, ready to be sociable with other humans. As you walk to the front door of wherever it is you're going, you bask in the last 30 seconds of silence. You ring the doorbell, plaster on a fake smile, and play the happy couple shtik for the rest of the evening. That is until you get back in the car, where you can ignore each other again. Daniella London Dekel captures this utterly relatable moment that all couples go through in this funny comic.
