Oh, Jeff...I Love You, Too...But... (sometimes Oh, Jeff) is a 1964 painting by Roy Lichtenstein.

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 perverbial romance-comic story line of temporary adversity.<ref>Stokstad, Marilyn. "Art in the United States And Europe since World War II". Art History. Prentice Hall, Inc. and Harry N. Abrams, Inc. p. 1129. ISBN 0-8109-1960-5. 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.
