That's What Friends Are For

Happy New Year to all of our loyal readers! We took a few days off to spend with friends and family, but 2012 is here and we're ready to spend another year (or until the Mayan apocalypse) with the Margo, Tommie and Lu Ann. I predict we'll maybe get through four storylines all year.

Friday, December 30th

Is Queen Bee coming? Because I don't really want to get bogged down in that storyline if we're going to get cheated out of more Queen Bee. This strip is great for so many reasons. Margo's narcissism is pitch perfect. If you really hate being immodest then you wouldn't say things like "I'm amazing!" Maybe we can all learn from Margo's self confidence. Also, Lu Ann has the perfect look of panic in the last panel. Like she was secretly hoping that Margo and Tommie would forget about her news, but Margo puts her right on the spot. You can see her holding back her worry bobble.

Saturday, December 31st

Atta girl, Lu Ann, just tear it right off like a Band Aid. Didn't Tommie like Paul? Did she even meet him? Tommie and Lu Ann really did not want to go to/be in this wedding. So that's the final nail in the coffin I believe, everyone can mail back the blenders the bought as gifts. What do you think that we'll follow next: Tommie's new 8-track album or Margo's star-studded opening?

Keep smilin'
Keep shinin'

Knowin' you can always count on me
For sure
That's what friends are for

In good times
And bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Now that song is stuck in my head. Interestingly, that song was released in 1982 but didn't gain its popularity until 1985. It was a good year.

I love how Margo is all smiles and Tommie gives us a head bobble.
