A comic strip showing two women having a serious conversation, which leads to a hug, and three others commenting on the scene. The comic addresses themes of self-hatred, self-improvement, and love. Panel 1: CLAIRE: Liz, what I'm about to say might hurt, but I think you need to hear it. LIZ: [wiping away a tear] Great. What now. Panel 2: CLAIRE: Self-hatred can be...a kind of crutch. Or a shield. CLAIRE: If you hate yourself, you don't have to try and grow, because why bother? It's just who you are, and you can't change that. Panel 3: CLAIRE: Part of loving yourself is working to become a better person. Panel 4: CLAIRE: And everyone deserves to love themselves. Even you. [She hugs LIZ.] Panel 5: FAYE: Marty, you better marry that girl or I'm gonna kill you. MARTEN: I'm not sure she'd appreciate me proposing under duress. BUBBLES: There is a pun involving the phrase "wedding duress" in there somewhere, but I cannot pinpoint it. I will consult Claire later.
