Romeo #26 January 1963
In "You Said You Loved Me," Bob returns from a camping trip sporting a new beard, only to lose his job for refusing to shave it—his principles clashing with workplace expectations. Jill, who initially stays silent, ends up breaking things off with him, but her stance shifts when a council notice forces tenants to give up their pets, forcing her to reconsider what really matters. The story, illustrated with expressive detail by Mario Cubbino, captures quiet personal conflicts with a touch of social observation, all in a 5d comic from 1963.
