Thelma and Margo


I don't pretend to understand much of what goes on in this strip, but I am preeettyyyy sure that the last week or two have been part of some kind of fever dream. I'm assuming Margo came home and went to bed after her encounter with the mysterious stranger, and the whole Tommie/Lu Ann coming home shower sequence was her subconscious reminding her that she is, in fact, the center of the A3G universe. This whole Thelma situation I'm not sure about, but they went from being strangers at some kind of outdoor "café" and are now apparently back in 3G with a bowl of dinner rolls, chatting it up like old friends, which is the kind of thing that would definitely happen in a dream.

Or maybe Occam's razor would have it that this whole damn strip is a dream, because that would make everything much easier to understand. Maybe this whole thing will end Newhart style. Or ooo, maybe more like St. Elsewhere. Ah, who am I kidding? THIS WILL NEVER END.

No, everything is not okay. I ran into you on the sidewalk and you insisted that I order breakfast from you. Then you brought me in to your apartment where we are standing around and now you have handed me a bowl of dinner rolls.

Does that seem okay to you?

Also, you're out of pears.

Hilarious comments Toots and Casey! The cafe has a unique serving style, instead of placing your food on the table they hand it to you.
