Eric survived a Nepalese avalanche. He's not going to risk his second chance on life by having the "Oh by the way, I'm not dead and have been stalking you in a tan overcoat for months without telling you who I am" conversation with Margo until her hormones are back at some sort of equilibrium.

I started reading this comic around May when a digital newspaper I subscribe to added comics online. And I must say that this strip makes NO SENSE. It's poorly written and poorly drawn. It just seems to go around in circles. And this Margo is in a coma and suddenly is upright in a blouse and blazer??? I looked the strip up and evidently it used to be a much better strip...can anyone tell me what happened to it? I can't believe people get paid to write this stuff and draw it. It looks very amateurish.
@Anonymous, the artist is over 90, and the best guess is that his health and vision may be in decline. The writer seems to have stopped caring. I'm relatively new to commenting, myself, only having read A3G online for a couple of years. Others have been at it a lot longer. Check out the archives, it's interesting.
I'm trying to think of the last semi-logical plotline that A3G had. Maybe the makeover plot??
The artwork has reduced now to basically two people, and man and a woman, who play different characters distinguished only by their names in text and the color of their clothes and hair. Even Margo in the Sunday strip is drawn essentially identical to Gabby and Tommie, and the colorists and speech balloons are our only way of figure out who is who. It is sad, though, because Frank Bolle had a pretty impressive career as a comics artist.
WEDNESDAY
Why are there groceries just sitting on the table in the hospital? ... I don't understand any of this!
