Comics Page Proposal No Joke

Sandra Kinnunen was in her bathrobe, enjoying a cup of coffee and the Monday morning newspaper, when she found a birthday surprise from her boyfriend. Dave Sanders, 53, of Tumwater had drawn a comic strip titled “Happy Birthday Sandra Kay,” and paid $190 to run it on the comics page of The Olympian. Inside the strip, he wrote, “As a cartoonist, this seems like the most natural place to ask … Sandra, will you marry me?” The couple met through an online dating service and have been together for about seven months. She is a counselor at a nonprofit organization. He works in customer service at the Valley Athletic Club and does freelance graphic design and cartooning on the side. The comic-strip proposal displaced “Doonesbury” for one day/ Associated Press.
