Bad Fiancee

FINALLY, the deer speaks up! Probably has a stomach full of mattress coils. And Jim is... not surprised at all? Have they had long international phone calls on their land lines about how Tommie is a foster doe? Because my reaction to "bleat... bleat..." would be "wwwwwwwhat....! Was that!! Is there a sheep in this apartment??" accompanied by bulging eyes and muscular tension.

P.S. Why is this guy not speaking entirely in stereotypical British slang? Has he said one British thing yet? I mean, why even make him British if he's not going to say things like "blimey" and "dumbledore" all the time?

No British slang? Well, he did say, "Give us a kiss," even though there's only one of him. (Well, really, there are innumerable versions of the dark-haired Stepford husband robot in this strip, but there's only one in apartment 3-G at the moment.)

I don't know. Is it typically of the British that they accept the presence of a fawn in a NYC apartment as completely normal. I know a lot of them think Americans are crazy, so maybe Jim think's it's a normal American thing to do. It's just so confusing!!

'Ear now, wot's this? Got a bit of a wobbly bottom neighing for his tucker? I'll set myself to the kitchen, and fix him up a batch of bangers and mash, right proper! Now, move yer bum, woman, and fetch me some marmalade for the poor urchin!

DWET: You're totally right, "give us a kiss" WAS totally British. But it's not enough! I want more Cockney talk like Enry Iggins here!
