Home At Last!!

I have to admit, when I went to check the comics this morning, I was legitimately excited for the first time in months. Yet when I first glanced at the strip, I genuinely thought we were still back in Happiness Falls, the land where happiness fell. Carol-I-mean-Lu Ann's hair is dowdier than ever, and the interior decorating is identical!

Only Margo could convince me that we're back in Manhattan. I love that the first words out of her mouth are "What about me?" Indeed, Margo. Without you, the entire universe, of billions upon billions upon billions of stars, would go dark. That is your phenomenal cosmic power. Even though Tommie hasn't written or called in months, she's still a big fan, okay?

So I think we're in for a week of rehashing the extreme dullness of the past six months, but then, THEN, something should happen!

Carol looks more like Lu Ann than ever while Lu Ann looks like two different generic blondes with bangs. Then there's the identical polo tops buttoned all the way up... Oy.

"Without you, Margo, the universe would go dark." - can this be the new banner quote? The fawn, after all, left the car for Happiness Falls. Thank goodness.

While Tommie was gone, Margo and Lu Ann joined this Amish group, where they can only wear long sleeved dresses buttoned to the top. Meanwhile, Tommie has yet a third turtleneck in her wardrobe. Good thing, because the pink one has to be burnt.

Whaaa...???

Why is Tommie calling Carol Collins "Lu Ann"? I don't get it!

mrvy: I agree, I think it's time. I updated the banner. After all, everyone in that town knew Tommie had a fawn in her car, but that time is over now. New banner day!

Happy new banner day! Now maybe that fawn will stop bleating her way into my nightmares!

The universe has gone dark. For the illustrator. And for Margaret Shulock, it fell through a Black Hole.

Doesn't the cartoon syndicate read what they're selling?

Alex Kotzky is reincarnating as a fawn right now, just so he can eventually evolve into a human again and reclaim his birthright.

Bleat. Guffaw. Snort.
