Valentine #21 March 1970

In "The Signal Is Love," Dolly confronts a reality that cracks when the café staff deny Larry’s existence—until he emerges, hiding from the 'daffy dolls' he’s evaded. As Larry leads her to an old barge with a dream of a floating discotheque, the promise of escape is shattered when he steals her money. Paul’s revelation that Larry preyed on women like his sister forces Dolly to reckon with her own illusions. A moody, dreamlike tale of deception and desire, drawn with striking expressiveness by Romero.
