I help you almost once a week at the grocery store with your seafood purchases. I doubt you'll see this, but if you do, please respond back. I'll know it's you when you tell me the specific seafood you ask for each week.

  5. Well, I'm a vegetarian and yet I fully support this relationship and would also very much like to know what she buys! My first thought was "mermaid" but I don't think you eat those.
    Hmm.

  14. Again very nice drawing! I am your fan from Germany! Why don't you draw a picture about a m4m or w4w missed connection? Or have I just missed them?

  15. Hi Georg,
    Here are a few of the w4w and m4m ones...there are others earlier, and more to come.
    Thanks everyone for your lovely comments; this would have been a short-lived project without them.

  16. Wonderful illustration! I just love these... makes meeting strangers and the glimmer of hope into a beautiful thing.

  17. ummm...well spoken...she might not appreciate that term of reference. I may be wrong, but I doubt it.

    I have been described as "well spoken" a million times and I tend not to like it.
    For further reference, here is a link to an article by Pulitzer prize winning journalist Eugene Robinson that states my opinion better.

  31. I miss this blog so much while you are away! I read all your posts over the course of a day and your style of illustration is so whimsical. I sent your link to a friend and she did the same. I've been looking at missed connections now just to read what sweet/funny things people have to say about each other.

  36. Hello all, I am writing my review right after my first order, because the service was really able to surprise me a lot. All my life I have been trying to copy essays from the Internet, spending a huge amount of time searching for a unique essay that would be easier for me to write myself. But one day I found essaypro service. Here I simply left my contact information to be contacted by the staff. We discussed my order and I was told that it will be ready within two hours. When I saw my finished order, I was very surprised, because its uniqueness was 89%.
