Oh Ruby! You and Taser Lady should just have your own strip. Taser Lady will be widowed at this point, and she'll get together with Ruby and they'll found the School of Bad Choices to help other lost souls. Maybe the School of Bad Choices will be a traveling reality show. Ooh, you know what? That sounds like it could sell on TLC or A&E. A comic strip about a fake school on a reality show... sounds good to me, good luck, girls!Okay, I'm officially giving up on the Bobbie storyline. The way this story ended was really deeply disappointing for me. There were a few days after Martin took the gun where I thought, Is it really worth posting today? Is it worth posting ever again?
That said, I wanted to congratulate Margaret Shulock for really pulling off a good deal of deception in the early part of the story arc, not an easy task for a strip with a relatively small cast. It took most of us a long time to figure out the connection between Bobbie and the Magees, and when we did, all the little details--Bobbie's vague memory of the Professor, the private detective's accusation that Martin was dating a blonde--all made delicious sense.
I'm sure we all had years when the anticipation of your birthday was more exciting that the actual day. For example, one year my older sister was convinced she was going to get a pony. I wonder, how did she get that impression, and where on earth did she think we were going to keep it? So while she was pretty devastated on the actual day, the she was very happy during the weeks leading up to her birthday. This is one of those storylines: expert setup, fumbled on the followthrough. Better luck next time.
So, time to move on! What is Ruby talking about here?

Maybe she'll admit she dyed his hair while his back was turned...
She's going to declare her undying love for the Prof. Or she's eloped with Lyle from Queens. Or she really was chosen as the lucky makeover queen for I Dressed in the Dark.
Am I correct that the I Dressed in the Dark sidebar wasn't resolved? Or was it, and I missed something? Was Tommie's new side career tickling the ivories the resolution?
See, we're all moving on from Bobbie.
Is Aristotle going to express his sadness and guilt with music? He could write a song about his experience, and call it "Me and Bobbie Magee".
Oh Fraser... nice!!!
