Waiting Game

So I thought that I could beat out Maggie in a waiting game by not posting on Saturday, but she beat me by not posting yesterday.  Touché, Mags, touché.

Friday, July 27th

Is it really necessary to have a door bell with five rings?  Especially when no one visits you and it's only used by your long forgotten third roommate.  Also, did Margo become Stretch Armstrong in the second panel?


Saturday, July 28th

That is the most laconic trip recount of a five-month road trip with the woman who you always thought was your aunt but turned out to be your mother and you were going to visit the people who you always knew as your parents/siblings but now are your aunts/uncles/cousins.  No funny trip stories?  "Ruby took a joke photograph at Mount Rushmore where it looks like she's picking George Washington's nose!"  How about "We had really great weather!"  Anything?  Oh well, back to Tommie/Margo.

Monday, July 30th

Are you Rick?  You look just like my roommate's ex-fiance Paul Linski.  Even down to the white shirt! I hope I didn't interrupt you supervising these guys working on supercomputers, but I have an ANNOUNCEMENT...for tomorrow.

Tuesday, July 31st

Come on Rick, we all knew there would be a but.  Mild mannered nurse/midwife Tommie Thompson throws away a stable middle class life for fame and fortune with Rick and DJ Dan Diller?  I spin babies now, not records.  I hope Aunt Iris can get a good price for that piano on eBay.

Brace Yourself

I just really love the art in this strip sometimes. I really do. Look at Margo in that first panel! Look how high her hands are! And then she's posing like RuPaul's Drag Race all of the sudden. Love it. Love me some Margo Magee.

Good Graces

Long ago, Margo cast a dark spell on her roommates so when they try her patented "point and yell" method of communication, their thumbs twist off. After years of goading them, one of them has dared point a finger at her. Finally, Margo thought to herself. It was all worth it. The slow knife.

Forgiveness?

It melted away!  Like the laws of time, which made three weeks of labor only a single day!  Like Frank Bolle's desire and ability to draw the correct number of fingers on a human hand!

It did seem like Nina got over that whole "Scott making out with Margo" thing rather quickly.  Maybe Nina's just an enlightened soul.  Who wouldn't forgive the world's best publicist?  Move over Suri Cruise!  Abigail Ann Gaines is the new IT BABY!  For all inquiries about her play times, please contact Margo Magee.

Long Story

Uh oh, Tommie. The World's Best Publicist is NOT going to be pleased that you let those husband-wife reconciliatory smooches go undocumented! No fear, Margo: you can still parlay this into a celebrity endorsement opportunity. Nina could be the new poster child (poster mother?) for baby spinning. Get over there with a camera crew and get that endorsement. This is going viral!

Shocker

 

Abigail is a fairly common name, Scott, no need to question it.  It's actually #11 for girls in 2012: http://www.babycenter.com/popularBabyNames.htm?year=2012

But it's just to set up Tommie for the "What? Little old me?  I'm so flattered..." routine, while she was skulking in the shadows.

Pass the Baby

Someone's going to have to teach these people how to hold a baby. Unfortunately, Tommie snuck down the fire escape. You're on your own, folks. Hope you still have those books.
