Strip by: Sloublues

Lucy: I have the feeling that I'm growing more beautiful every day
Lucy: Do you realize what that means?
Lucy: It means that I am 75,153,362,648,762,663,292,463,379,097,258,784,876,021,841,565,066,235,862,633,311,089,030,688,803,667,470,190,838,367,948,312,598,497,021,919,232 times more beautiful today than I was at this time last year....
Lucy: WOW!!

The author writes:
