Caption:

I make casual reference to having “a past.” If there’s a beter controlling-jerk filter out there, I have yet to see it.

Description:

This Nick Galifianakis cartoon was originally published on June 10, 2012 for the feature Carolyn Hax: Tell Me About It in The Washington Post and other syndicated newspapers. The illustration shows a woman who has figured out how to avoid getting involved with someone who is insecure, paranoid, jealous, controlling, and who can’t let the past stay in the past.
