My Friend Is Really Shy

My friend's a romantic, he's really shy. That's him.

A black-and-white three-panel scene shows people talking in a crowded indoor space. One person describes their friend as a romantic who is really shy, then points him out; the final panel reveals a serious-looking man staring directly at the camera. The joke is the contrast between the flattering description and his intimidating, awkward appearance, making it useful as a reaction to someone being unexpectedly obvious or uncomfortable.
