Brace Yourselves, Ladies

Oh my gosh, Lu Ann Tommie is being whisked away to fabulous North Dakota Dallas Italy for a month until she becomes interesting by comparison to Lu Ann!! Presumably this is so that readers will stop commenting things like "what happened to Tommie?" or "did Tommie die?" or "how does the apartment stay so clean if Tommie's not around?"

BUT! There's a slim chance we're in for some Dawn Weston-esque mopey adventures around Italy! Tommie could definitely pull it off, especially in that green sweatshirt. Maybe it's time to pull out the dress you got from I Dressed in the Dark.

"You won't believe it, Margo! Wait her while I change clothes....

Brace yourselves, ladies! I'm going to Italy!!"

(It's easy to see that Tommie should have said the "Brace yourselves, ladies" before she changed her clothes, but anyway.

Is there some cultural significance to Italy for the Thompsons? It sounds nice and all but seems very coincidental that Tommie gets a month off and Tommie's Mommy comes up with a trip to Italy. Almost seems made up. Have I lost touch with reality?

@Ken, relax. You are just having a normal reaction to Apartment 3-G. You see, a comic which really chronicled the lives of 3 women living in New York City would be filled with agonizing over finances, jobs, the rising crime rate in their cheap neighborhood, how exhausting it is to work freakin' double shifts and now that crazy nurse-supervisor wants you to work 20 more and you got peed on today by a patient, you think that's bad, I haven't sold a painting for 6 weeks and I have salaries to pay, etc.

That wouldn't make sense!

So, instead, Tommie has some time off to reward her for her hard work and magically, has a free trip to Italy! Hooray!
