Wally's Word

Your link to today’s comic.

I think Becky has had enough coffee: she’s shaking pretty bad as she pours one for the man she kicked to the curb not too long ago. In case this scenario is not awkward enough, throw in some of TB’s trademark, tin-eared dialogue: “You seem…” “Better?” “Your word.”

Huh? What’s your word? Do I not seem better, now that Buddy the Wonder Dog is in my life, and you’ve finally granted me a couple hours with my midget son? Now that I’m knockin’ boots with a two-armed woman? What’s your word?

OK. I really can’t figure out what is happening in these three panels. Wally admits to being understandably tired. Buddy responds to this statement by resting his head on Wally’s thigh and gazing lovingly at him? Then Rachel assures Buddy that she’s “got this one” while Wally leers in her direction? What the hell was Buddy fixing to do?
