Nothing Has Changed

Say what?? The most awkward, tepid kiss in the universe wasn't enough to satisfy the emotional chasm inside of Carol that Jack has no capacity to fill?

Ah, remember the halcyon days when Jack was described as "the original cranky guy with a heart of gold" which I thought mean he would be old and grizzled and maybe a prospector? And then we got this guy. And Lily... died... I guess? Man.

I have a family memeber who has deer infesting her yard like other people have starlings! She and her neighbors have to grow ornamental plants inside cages -- everything except thornbushes, periwinkle and sedum.

What I'm saying is that Lily is still alive and Jack didn't get any Spring flowers this year... and he really likes tulips!

I'm sure Mags Shulock will get around to telling us at some point.

Carol gets more unattractive every day. Today she's going for downright ugly. I'm rather amused by the shifting backgrounds , though. (Sorry to keep harping on the artwork. I'll comment on the plot if a coherent one ever develops.)

I do like how between panels one and two Jack apparently bolted down half a bottle of whiskey and is now quite drunk from his attempts to rinse the taste of Carol's kiss out of his mouth.

That is some mighty fine speed drinking. Seriously, dude looks like he's about to fall over.

Forget about Lily, where's Tommie? Is she listening to all this crap??

@fauxprof: Or it could be really GOOD artwork - perhaps this is Bolle's way of showing the kiss was so bad it resulted in Carol having some sort of facial paralysis.

@ TimP: It's even more impressive when you remember they've just had breakfast so it's, what, 8:30 am? OTOH it might just be due to 24+ hours without sleep and a hard night of calf-delivery and the amphetamines just quit.
