Title: "Portrait of a Self-Doubter"

This comic strip, originally published in 1991, humorously depicts the challenges of self-perception. The story unfolds as follows:

• A man visits a portrait artist, eager to be portrayed as "smart and sexy."
• However, when he sees the finished portrait, he is disappointed, feeling it does not accurately reflect his appearance.
• He asks the artist, "Too sexy?"

The comic strip playfully pokes fun at the common experience of feeling uncertain about one's appearance, highlighting the disparity between how we perceive ourselves and how others may see us.
