The Right White Dress

For all the talk about how Frank Bolle has been phoning in the artwork, I have to say there are interesting and subtle nuances to this strip. Note that Lu Ann is shrouded in white on one side of the panels, whilst Paul stands opposite, her in a doorway that leads into darkness. The darkness of a Linksi future in Hoboken, perchance? In the final panel, they are separated by Ruby, who is perhaps the pink personification of Lu Ann's yet unspoken doubts.

Can you tell that I went to a liberal arts school, and that I've run out of humorous observations about this unending storyline?

I'm predicting a runaway bride scenario. Paul just keeps piling on all this behavior. Lu Ann should make a pros and cons list. I like lists.

Ruby's thinking, "Ah, there's hope. She may come to her senses yet."

WHAT--NO GOODBYE KISS?? girls love it when you bellow at them when they're tired and cranky. My boyfriend and I do this to each other all the time! Well, my ex-boyfriend and I. Well, I bellowed at him. Well, he wouldn't actually date me. Buuuuuuut, yeah, bellowing!

You hung out with too many music majors. And history majors. And east asian studies majors.

The sad thing is you are complimenting the unknown colorist.
