From 0 to 60 in two weeks

Apologies for the lack of updates. Blogger ate my post on Friday and I couldn't be bothered to rewrite it. And Saturday I was too busy with my new cat. Priorities, people.

I'm assuming the husband's name in today's strip is actually Meekly. This is the problem with the way Scaduto names his characters and writes his exposition boxes; since the names so frequently are adjectives or adverbs, he needs to be very clear in the exposition. But he's not, of course. However, since there's no comma before "Meekly," we'll assume it's his name.

And hey, at least the course worked! I'm blown away, actually. God knows I could probably take 100 classes called "How to Mingle at a Reception Where You Don't Know Anyone," and I'd still probably wind up standing by the wall or clinging to one person for dear life.

Though I would like to point out that "assertive" does not mean "jerkface." Clearly there is something else at play here, particularly for this to happen in two weeks. Most likely it's that Meekly finally got sick of Migraina's crap. Again, though, the solution here is to get a divorce. Nobody's happy in this relationship! Break up, and it's win-win-win (because I win, too)! The way people overreact in this strip...

"Tough crumpets" is going straight into daily usage for me, though. And I always appreciate submissions from Javy Lopez. Just retire, Javy. That way you can devote all your time to submitting ideas for TDIET!
