SosfdavidO here, and that 90’s “record scratch” sound you just heard just came up because in today’s strip, Rocky had the notion to celebrate their engagement with a drink! Funky is well off the wagon, or on, I can’t remember which metaphor applies, so instead of just politely apologizing, comes up with a visual pun. Sure, it’s a groaner, but at least we got her away from that hideous couch.
Squiggle Vision
SosfDavidO here! And though I know these characters are in the midst of a deep, important conversation about these two lovebug’s plans after their wedding in today’s strip, one detail has caught my eye and I can’t look at anything else.
That chair is pretty much the most disturbing thing in the strip lately and that’s saying a lot. It’s like Ed Gein murdered a Sasquatch and made furniture with the pelt. If that doesn’t send Rocky running back home to her parents nothing will.
Rocky Road
Well well well! From the look on Holly’s face in Today’s strip, the idea of other people existing outside of Westview confuses her. The idea they take precedent over her really seems to be getting her goat!
Oh Rocky. Here’s hoping the infant-headed male or hatchet-faced female profile gene skips several generations.
Smatter?
Hey folks! SoSfDavidO here, punching Montoni’s time clock for another shift!
It’s Monday and the drama of the sold comics books and “will she say yes?” has been resolved! So what’s next? Judging from Today’s strip, a lot of story padding! Though I have to admit, I pretty much ignored any banal dialog and stared in sheer awe at the size of Cory’s baseball-glove sized mitts. I had to even count twice to make sure there wasn’t an extra finger in there somewhere.
Love is a Battlefield
I suppose from the viewpoint of a citizen of Westview, life is a savage desert terrain wherein you can be killed at any moment. That next bite of pizza might go down the wrong way and take you out, or that comic page may give you a paper cut that will develop into gangrene. Even worse, you may not spot Les Moore before he spots you, and your PUNishment will be severe.
Here we seem to have another episode in which the interesting thing–Cory’s proposal–is passed over and we just see the aftermath. I really can’t see the military dialogue as being a “proposal” or any kind, but it does sound like an argument in favor.
I guess?…I mean, the military dialogue seems to indicate that there’s trouble afoot, but the two of them together can overcome it. I’m not sure what kind of trouble they’re in, except of course that they live in Westview. Most proposals are accompanied by talk of how happy they’ll be, rather than how many problems they’ll face. One would think that being in combat would tend to make a person more resourceful, but then one suspects “combat” is nothing compared to daily life in Les Mooreland.
And again, we’re not told if Cory is just on leave, or if his stint in the army has concluded.
Speaking of stints concluding, mine as your host has now come to an end. As two-week periods go, this one was definitely…two weeks. Tomorrow the fabulously expensive David O takes over. Over to you, David!
