''[[http://marryme.keenspot.com/ Marry Me]]'' is a webcomic created and written by Bobby Crosby (''[[http://plusev.keenspot.com/ +EV]]'', ''[[http://www.lastblood.net/ Last Blood]]'') and illustrated by Remy "Eisu" Mokhtar (''[[http://www.nopinkponies.com/ No Pink Ponies]]''). It depicts the life of Stasia, a pop-idol of some renown who fills whatever arena she sings in. On the personal front, though, it's less of a sunshine story. Stasia's love life has turned out less than satisfactory, and she is not eager to get back into the dating scene again. Depressed and unenthusiastic, she prepares for her last show of the year.

''Marry Me'' is a plot-heavy romantic comedy in its purest form. You will find many romance tropes roaming about, and while the story is original in itself, the form is easily recognizable and rather predictable. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools That doesn't stop it from being entertaining, however.]]

* WackyMarriageProposal: This is the entire basis of the comic -- a lesbian fan of the rock idol female lead was holding up a sign that read "Marry Me" at a concert. She needed to sneak off to go to the bathroom, so she had her male friend hold up the sign, hoping to get it autographed. Said idol saw the sign and capriciously accepted his "proposal" for complicated personal reasons. A priest happened to be in the audience, and had them wed on stage. Plot Ensues.

Parker, doing a babysitting job, is told by her temporary charges that their uncle Guy is upstairs, sicker than an entire pack of effluent dogs. Guy is clearly having a good time with this, because although he's fully awake, he's nowhere near lucid; when he inevitably manages to escape Parker's attention with the boys, he comes to the conclusion that they need hamburgers, and treats their fast food order with all the grave urgency of a black ops mission.

This is the story of three people and a sign.

''[[http://marryme.keenspot.com/ Marry Me]]'' is a webcomic created and written by Bobby Crosby (''[[http://plusev.keenspot.com/ +EV]]'', ''[[http://www.lastblood.net/ Last Blood]]'') and illustrated by Remy "Eisu" Mokhtar (''[[http://www.nopinkponies.com/ No Pink Ponies]]''). It depicts the life of Stasia, a pop-idol of some renown who fills whatever arena she sings in. On the personal front, though, it's less of a sunshine story. Stasia's love life has turned out less than satisfactory, and she is not eager to get back into the dating scene again. Depressed and unenthusiastic, she prepares for her last show of the year.

Enter Guy. Or in fact, enter Parker, dragging Guy with her by his ear. Parker is a die-hard Stasia fan and has brought along a sign that she is intent on getting Stasia's autograph on. Guy can't understand the appeal of her music (or any other parts of her). As the show progresses, nature calls to Parker. Unfortunately, this may make her miss the big moment, but she makes Guy swear to present the sign if she doesn't make it back in time. Being a nice guy, he does. He probably shouldn't have.

''Marry Me'' is a plot-heavy romantic comedy in its purest form. You will find many romance tropes roaming about, and while the story is original in itself, the form is easily recognizable and rather predictable. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools That doesn't stop it from being entertaining, however.]]

A film adaptation of the webcomic starring Music/JenniferLopez and Creator/OwenWilson is scheduled for release in 2022 by Creator/UniversalPictures.
