Love and lattes added to comics Starting today, the Sunday cartoon strip, "It's All About You," allows Herald readers to join Michael and his girlfriend, Gina, as they work through the hang-ups that make their relationship interesting. The couple often gets help from Chris, a barista and amateur therapist at their favorite cafe, along with a crowd of equally self-involved customers. This slice of young adult life replaces "Opus," a strip that ended last week after its creator decided to leave the newspaper cartooning business.
