Why this piece is awesome: This piece is done in a bold comic style, with heavy black outlines and large flat areas of color, but conveys nicely nuanced feeling and some great character work in Jeff's and Shirley's expressions. I love the inclusion of the medallion with young!Jeff and young!Shirley in the background, with its paler colors and mirrored pose. The piece explicitly refers to one of my favorite episodes in the series, but even without that background, I think the story elements of it are very strong. I interpret this as a portrayal of their friendship, rather than romance, but I think it can be read either way.
