A pinnacle in TDIETland

I am in love with today's strip. It's not that I can't relate to wanting someone to break up with their current partner; I totally get that. I do think it's a bit much to sit there and be all, "Good riddance!" as they break up. Particularly when it's your child. She's probably going to be upset about this, Mom and Dad. Of course, she looks way too old to be living at home, so she deserves some judgement from the folks.

But there is nothing that is not awesome about the guy she brings home. First off, that they're married! Excellent! He's writing an autobiography! They're going to live at home! He's, like, 70! He calls them "Mom ol' gal" and "Pop person"! He has a ponytail! I really hope that this is the first time they've met and it's 2 weeks after she broke up with the guy in the top panel.

Kudos all around.

Spectacular strip today. Give that guy spectacles and whiten his hair and you've got a gen-yoo-wine Founding Father (TM). That's going to be one long autobiography.

It should be written in Al's version of young people slang.

That would be incredibly awesome.

I'd buy this, in hardback even!
