A3G 2013: Year in Review

The Year that Was in Apartment 3G... in case you missed it. In reviewing the past year for goodies, I discovered that we really only had two major narrative arcs this year:

1. The conclusion of the Margo-Greg-Evan saga (in which Evan wore a raincoat and tried to burn Margo to death, and Greg saved her and sort of got engaged to her, except that's totally over now)

2. Lu Ann's adventures in philanthropy (in which Lu Ann is inspired to honor her deceased husband with an art therapy class for veterans' kids, and then immediately catches the eye of the Governor and a single dad veteran, and and winds up pretty much dumping them both and probably the art program too)

I mean, unless you count Tommie disappearing from the strip to go to Italy for half the year a story line.

For the record, Tommie is having the best year ever.

Also, I just discovered: Lu Ann and the Governor never kissed? What the hey. Weird.

But Apartment 3G really isn't about the storylines! (I had to look up Greg's name, I forgot him so quickly.) It's really about ...

The fashion!

Thanks for joining us for a year of ups and downs, but mostly another year of statis. I went nuts and put captions AND secret hover messages on all of these panels as a special New Year's treat, but don't get spoiled! We're back to our regular blogging schedule next Monday.

Happy new year!

-Maggie, Megan and Casey

Thank you so much for these captioned panels with secret messages! They were hilarious! I literally LOL'ed multiple times. Also, I'm still mad about the Evan-plot never being resolved. Why did he do it? Well, Happy New Year! Love, Dawn Weston's Evil Twin
