'''''Oh, Jeff...I Love You, Too...But...''''' (sometimes '''''Oh, Jeff''''') is a 1964 painting by [[Roy Lichtenstein]]. Like many of Lichtenstein's works it's title comes from the [[speech balloon]] in the painting.

The painting is among the most famous of his early romance comic derivative works from the period when he was adapting cartoons and advertisments into his style via [[Ben-Day dots]]. The work is said to depict the classic romance-comic story line of temporary adversity.<ref>{{cite book|title=Art History|author=Stokstad, Marilyn|isbn=0-8109-1960-5|p=1129|chapter=Art in the United States And Europe since World War II|quote=''Oh, Jeff'', for example, compresses into a single frame the generic romance-comic story line, in which two people fall in love, face some sort of crisis, or "but," that temporarily threatens their relationship, and then live happily ever after.|publisher=[[Prentice Hall, Inc.]] and [[Harry N.
