Marilyn #21 October 1961
In "Cry, My Heart," a quiet moment at Garfield’s roadside breakdown spirals into a tenderly awkward tangle of feelings, as Bob, Jack, and a surprise guest join Eileen’s kitchen—each with their own unspoken hopes. Rab Hamilton’s expressive art brings the emotional weight of unspoken words to life, capturing the quiet tension of four men waiting for something to change, while Eileen watches from the sidelines.
