My only thought is that Margo is under some kind of voodoo spell cast by Diane.
If Diane is a total fraud, then she wouldn't be able to cast a curse. She could, however, drug or poison Margo. I don't think I've seen Margo eat or drink anything in a year and a half, so the agent must have been aerosolized...I'm way overthinking this, aren't I.
I think Margo's hair should be a lot more disheveled. That tight bun does not reflect her loosening grip on reality! Also, eye bags. And smile less?
So wacky! So delicious! I read the secret messages, and I, too, cannot believe that Margo is accepting sass ... from anyone! Also, I think that the woman in today's strip is a different person from the one in yesterday's strip. She has different hair, different clothing, and a different face. Yes, I know, that doesn't necessarily mean that she's not the same person, as we are in A3G-land, and faces, hairstyles, and outfits change constantly on characters who stay the same, but the random stranger in today's strip is nice, and the one from yesterday didn't have time to "play crazy" with Margo. So heartless! Ouch!
I think Margo has been replaced by a robot ... Stepford model 37-QNX-12.
"IN DESPAIR, MARGO SINKS DOWN ON THE SIDEWALK..." So, are we to assume that in panel 1 of Wednesday's strip Margo is sitting down or kneeling on the sidewalk, talking to a 10 year old girl? It seems reasonable enough...
Thank you for this website! I found it after googling: "What's going on in Apartment 3-G comic?" I thought I was going crazy... So good to know I'm not the only one completely bewildered by the latest strange turn this comic strip has taken. I've been reading it probably close to 20 years now--mostly out of habit at this point--and I cannot believe such poor quality writing and drawing is still being published. It's like watching a decades-long traffic accident; I know I should, but I just can't turn my eyes away.
Anyway, thanks for the snarky commentary and insights into this weird comic strip world.
@Anon: This isn't just an A3G blog, it's a therapy group.
Hmmmm - the 9/3 strip is credited to Frank Bolle and Lisa Trusiani.
@Anonymous: It depends on which website you visit the comics on though. For example, The Seattle Pi has the writer credited to Shulock and The Washington Post has it credited to Trusiani. I'm pretty sure it's still Shulock though?
@ Anonymous: The WaPo website has (incorrectly) credited Trusiani with the authorship of the strip for years, never having updated when Shulock took over. It confused me too when I first started visiting this site.
To be honest, though, I'm wondering if Shulock has abdicated writing responsibilities to the infinite Monkeys with infinite typewriters. (Seems like I would have read about that in the Monkey newsletter though...)
I'm pretty sure Shulock has been reading this blog and is playing a long game with us.
