original_post:_5/16/2001_______________ That last panel is such a "Awww, feel sorry for me" forced moment, I almost wish I would have timed it a little differently. The other interesting big of trivia here is Emily saying she would not date Max. We find out in the "College Years" storyline that Em and Max went to high school together, and then on to college. Em thinks of Max as a brother, while I always think Max probably wanted to ask Emily out, but waited too long, and eventually it just got to the point where it would be weird if he did.
