Susan is awesome, and its nice to see her giving Lenny a bit of attitude. Although playing with the double-meaning of the word “tip” is perhaps a gag I did one too many times.
This is one of the few (only?) times I broke the fourth wall in the strip (except some early strips which got pulled or revised). But it was time to move the strip along, breakup depression begone!
Cat’s the line that cracks me up though. :)
Ah Bruno, literary and a double-meaning reference. But a nice cut is always good help to get through a breakup.
Ah, Bruno, never-pursued math whiz.
This is a thought I’ve often thought of. Although I feel I should have said sunrises rather than sunsets. These days I actually do often get up before the sun, but I can’t remember the last time I actually saw it. I need to go for morning walks, or perhaps move to a house with a better view. :)
Leo Buscaglia, professor at the University of South California, is known for his “Love 1A” course and book “Love” and for giving hugs to anyone who wanted one after each lesson.
This always both intrigued and weirded me out. Which means, it fascinated me.
In my actual reality (not as much in my head), I remember the book being a decent read.
Even I have to work to read some of these strips, but they do make sense. And the idea that some of us act obsessively rather than logically, and others see the logic of the situation but act in denial of it.
Which is kind of what separates Bruno from many (most?) written characters. Generally characters are written to not be self-aware, written to be victims of their own nature. She’s very aware of her nature, and is a victim of her not being able to act in a way that makes herself happy as a result.
I loved the idea of Mikey. Philosophical, world-worn, and can be found drinking cheap coffee at the local diner chain 24-7.
Marijuana never did much for me (not that IÂ :ahem:Â ever inhaled, mind you). But I certainly knew plenty of people who enjoyed it, and I often enjoyed their company and the silliness which ensued. To be fair, there were more than enough times when they bored or annoyed me as much.

This was inspired by someone I knew who had some major physical issues, and I KNOW had experienced a fair amount of discrimination due to them, and was very openly and angrily against homosexuality. I just don’t get it. I mean, sure, I get it, but I don’t like that i get it.
