Amazing Cheesecake

MARGO! Jeez. I used to think she was a savvy businesswoman. Now she's letting Lu Ann's Debt for Life to her be paid by a pastrami sandwich and a cheesecake?? And... and some milk, I guess? She could've negotiated for the rights to Lu Ann's life story (Squiggles on the Prairie: the Lu Ann Powers Story)! She could've asked for a cut of the profits out of the greeting cards they make with the kids' art! She could've had spin-off rights to Mr. Bananagrabber! Ughhh.

Every NYC food cliche. What next, a poppyseed bagel?

There is always more to the story, but we never get to see that part of the story. Months in Oklahoma...a trial for attempted murder and arson...bathtub fun. Boo I say, boo.

I'd like to think Margo is just being extremely sarcastic.

"We're even now! Hahaha!.... But seriously I pretty much own you. Now let's walk off that cheesecake while I hear your feeble request. By the way, in about 5 minutes you're carrying me so try not to talk too much and conserve your strength."

@Allen,

This strip is way funnier if you think of everything Margo says is sarcastic! It's funnier still if you think of everything anyone says is sarcastic.

Even the clothes and home decors make more sense that way.

Gasp! Do I smell pastrami?

Was the cheesecake in the bag with the pastrami?

Haha, that's true! But I honestly can't see Luann being sarcastic because that would imply she understands that concept when I don't think Luann understands anything. This is a person who thinks it's completely normal to store pastrami sandwiches in her purse.
