Today's Real Life features the climax of fictional character Greg's evening at a fancy restaurant with fictional character Liz: a proposal of marriage.

Real Life has never been strictly a journal comic, but it often incorporates major aspects of real life Greg (Dean) into the webcomic. The assumption of the fans is that today's comic means that real life Greg proposed to real life Liz. Someone even speculates that today's comic is in fact meant to be the literal ask of real life Liz.

So is today's Real Life real life?
