Just One Problem

OH MY GOD! Professor! You're okay! And we never had to check on you or anything! Ya just.. ya just survived. Like, unassisted. It's like the heart attack/smoke inhalation/abandonment issue never even happened! That's so great, Prof. You even managed to keep that cute little Amish chin beard going after all this time. Good for you!

Good thing Evan turned himself in for reasons as mysterious as why he made a bomb in the first place! Otherwise, maybe we couldn't've skipped ahead a month later into January. Because of, you know, the excitement and intrigue. The media would've probably pegged him as the Fishsticks Bomber... man!! This resolution is about as anticlimactic as the "Bobbie Merrill waves a gun around, then gets distracted by her cellphone and decides, ehhhhh, forget it" finale of 2010.

I guess the strip's creators didn't want to have to show all that icky medical treatment of burns and smoke inhalation stuff! Also, it's not as if Manhattan General Pretend Hospital and Health Spa had any medical equipment.

For example, Ari's stress test was to hold a brick in each hand while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance!

I'm just left wondering what distinguishes a "luxury suite" from a regular apartment, though... lavendar walls with green curtains instead of blue walls with orange curtains? The orange moldings are the same...

We were DENIED!! I want to see Evan squirm. And I don't want to see the Professor leer at Tommie any more....

Ari looks really strange. If it were a normal strip, I would think the stroke/aneurism/severe burns (??) had taken a toll on his good looks. This isn't a normal strip. Jim's Journal has better distinction between characters.

I would have thought Lu Ann would be by Ari's side. Nobody else cared but Lu Ann. If Lu Ann is still away after a month, smack my ass and call me Sally.

The Warren Commission subpoenaed Lu Ann to testify about what she knows about Ruby and Dallas. We won't see her for a while.

What in the Heck??!! Here we were in the middle of the Greatest 3-G ever, with endless possibilities for plot twists, (why did Evan want to blow up Margo; was it on orders form his aunt, or because Margo broke his magic finger in the midst of ecstasy, or did bombs explode simultaneously all over NYC killing all the women who kept him under their heel, was he Ted Kaczynski's secret love child, etc.)
Then I envisioned the greatest 3-G ever culminating with a manic chase scene and life or death struggle between Evan and Greg on the rooftop of 3-G!
And what do we get??!!! Nada, Zilch, Bupkis!
DISAPPOINTED, VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED!!
