Down with Love Page #3

---

all day long, man.

That's the miracle I was telling you about.

Better living through chemistry.

You got 16 inches.

Sixteen inches?

How long does a man's hose

have to be?

That's 32 inches

of confidence in every step.

Don't forget...

I've got two of'em.

I don't believe it. You went through

another one. That's three this month.

What is it about the workplace

that women just can't seem to handle?

Men! They want us to fail.

The nerve, inviting me to New York

to launch my book...

when they have no intention

of promoting it!

- Don't worry. I have a plan.

- You do?

Remember last winter you said you'd like

publicity where men would see it too?

"Perhaps in a men's magazine,"

you said.

"A prestigious men's magazine.

The most widely circulated and

highly respected men's magazine. "

- "KNOW?"

- Yes, you did.

No, I mean "KNOW. KNOW" magazine,

for men in the know.

Oh, yes. Exactly.

- You got us advertising in "KNOW?"

- "I did better. "

I got you a cover story written by "KNOW"

magazine's star journalist Catcher Block.

Catcher Block? The ladies' man,

man's man, man about town?

Oh, Vikki,

you're the best friend...

a girl from Maine who wrote a book

and came to New York could ever have!

You don't know the half of it.

I hear Catcher Block

is gorgeous... and eligible.

Not that that matters to us.

Down with love!

I can't believe it.

Me on the cover of "KNOW. KNOW!"

- No.

- "Catch, please, I promised. " It's one cover story.

A girl's never called me in my life,

let alone invited me for a drink.

I think this Vikki really likes me.

I think I might really like her.

I'm sure I would if she really likes me,

and she does because I led her to believe...

that as the owner of "KNOW" magazine,

I had some pull with my staff.

Then pull your staff with one of

your other writers. I'm not doing it.

No, it can't be anyone else.

The best thing I have to offer a woman is the

same as the best thing you have to offer... you.

But I'm all tied up, Mac.

I'm using me.

Oh, come on! It'll be fun.

- You like fun.

- Fun?

Interviewing a man-hating embittered

New England spinster librarian?

How do you know what she's like?

Who else would write a book

called "Down With Love?"

You don't have to be a Nazi

rocket scientist to figure that out.

Catch, please, please, please, please?

I hope you won't be disappointed.

Oh, Vikki, it's adorable.

My first New York phone call!

It must be "KNOW" magazine.

No one else has your number.

It must be Catcher Block!

- Oh!

- Oh!

- This is Barbara Novak.

- This is Catcher Block.

Catcher Block.

Catcher Block.

- "KNOW" magazine.

- Oh, yes, of course.

What can I do for you,

Mr. Block?
