If. If this comic did not frustrate me daily with its negativity, its stilted, tin-eared dialogue, its unappealing characters, its complete lack of real humor…if this comic did not suck so bad so frequently…I might allow that today’s strip is kind of cute. Of course, no real-life human being would make a Freudian slip like substituting “lonely” for “hungry”. However, something about the staging…the way the two characters are obviously attracted to each other and trying not to show it…Rachel’s dainty posture in panel one, and the unusual perspective in panel 2…yeah. Today’s strip is…O.K. Sigh.
