Back to Normal

The bun is back!! The bun is back!!! And so are the white shirts. Apparently Kat and Kitty had no qualms about all the white.

Well, Margo seems to be content to let life slide back to it's familiar routine (to the haunting refrain of anything can be undone...), but not Tommie! She's taking her V-neck sweater and carefuly preserved hairstyle on the ROAD! I guess a new haircut was all the catayst Tommie needed to leave behind her day-and-night job for a life of piano accompanying and background vocals, all while crafting her own solo album.

Oh my gosh I can't wait to hear what the album is called. Oh my gosh I can't wait to see the cover art. I can't even wait to hear how this conversation advances!

Beginner's Luck

Tommie feels lucky and blessed now, but I just bet she left her wallet in the back seat of the cab. She's waving goodbye to Gina and hello to identity theft.

Sick at Home

Hi everyone, it's Maggie! Sorry for the extended absence. I just haven't been able to shake this cold. Turns out that I'm borderline anemic (damn flirtation with vegetarianism!), which, in addition to not enough sleep, is why I haven't been convalescing. Jeez. Is that how you spell that? Oh well. A couple of cheeseburgers and a Z-pack and I'll be good as new.

In the meantime, I've just been sitting on the couch watching the Food Network in a daze, hoping they'll inspire me to cook up some Campbell's beef vegetable soup. Hey everyone, how does Giada stay so skinny? and elfin? and annoying? I find it ingratiating that she pronounces every food according to the language it comes from. It makes me feel like I've been mispronouncing "gratin" all these years.

But enough about me! What are my ladies up to?

Oh, LU ANN STILL CAN'T GET OVER HER FUCKING HAIR. I turned off Paula Dean for this?? I could be learning how to make a mayonnaise-based meatloaf right now.

And again, Margo has something cryptic to say. "One way or another, anything can be undone." Sounds Margo is talking about more than hair, but if so, what could she be referring to? Is she going to try to ruin the wedding and "undo" Jack and Doris' engagement? Because yeah, then seriously no one is ever going to want you to be a bridesmaid again ever. Ohhh, Doris. I can't believe you were so foolish to ask in the first place.

Wedding Hijinks!

I figured I'd give Megan a break and take this one on.

I'm not really sure what Margo's getting at in the second panel. Like, is she implying that Doris has to ask multiple times after their initial agreement, or else it's nullified? "Just checking again, guys, are you still planning on being my bridesmaids?!" So if she doesn't ask again, they're off the hook? Or is she planning to misbehave so much as Doris's bridesmaid that no one else will ever ask her again, and this makes the whole humiliating process worthwhile? I just REALLY hope Doris puts them in some awful taffeta number and the whole wedding goes down with Lu Ann crying over how bad it looks with her brunette hair, and with Margo undertaking some kind of Carrie-like revenge. "That's the last time a man dares to innocently flirt with me and then allow his mousey fiancee to ask me to be a bridesmaid! They're all gonna laugh at YOU, Jack."

Average Jack

Apparently, I'm the only member of the triumvirate that cares about the loyal readers! Casey's away message says something about a bottle of wine, and Maggie has mysteriously disappeared from the online world.

"What a fool I was, Margo! A FOOL! Put me in a court jester outfit and parade me in front of the royal court..." I'm failing to recall a time when Jack flirted with either of you, I just thought he was trying to be nice to you/having a normal work related conversation. I guess in the A3Gverse any male-female interaction qualifies as flirting.

And Margo is completely right, Jack obviously wasn't interested in them because they were too above average. Men are wired to find the most average looking woman attractive and then ignore other completely smoking hot women.

Housecoat Party!

Good to see that Tommie is out making the best of her new and improved look. Who's wearing the house coats now? Seriously, did Kat let you keep those housecoats? Nothing says modern woman who spends evenings at home like a shapeless housecoat. All the girls are getting them now!

I wonder what Margo wants to talk about? Is it how much they love their new housecoats?

Jack Throws a Curveball

Friday, September 30th

I have no idea whether it is Lu Ann or Margo making that statement in the last panel. It looks to me like it's Lu Ann's hair, but Margo has an exceptionally evil look on her face, one that says "Oh Doris, now that we've gotten this makeover, we're sooo much more stylish than you, with your unfortunate bob, outdated glasses, and general library marm aesthetic. Of course we'll let you borrow our new, better clothes, but you will never look as hot as us!" It is a naive selfishness that does sound like Lu Ann, but as a brunette, she's going to have to beef up her intellectual powers.

Saturday, October 1st

Jack, I know that you think Lu Ann is a dumb blonde, but it's a little bit redundant to introduce someone has your fiancee and soon-to-be wife, as they pretty much mean the same thing. This news has sent Lu Ann and Margo into a bobble-headed tizzy. What? Her? You mean Doris McNoFace? Did you ask Doris' cats for permission to ask for her hand? I know that Mr. Whiskers had reservations about your flirtatious relationship with Lu Ann. Miss Marple just doesn't want to get hurt again, like last time...
