I believe it’s a strong person who can see when they’re being stood up.
And I think “Stash” was a real local band and “The Kat Klub” was a real place in Northampton probably. but honestly, I don’t remember.
If you ever start thinking “can I get out of this thing, because I want to do something else,” you are not necessarily a jerk, in some situations it’s perfectly fine, but I urge you to consider the realistic impact on the person/people you’re standing up. :)
Yeah, being right so often sucks, and then it’s supposed to be some kind of moral consolation. I just never felt it.
I like this strip because I think it contains a pretty horrible truth (from what i’ve observed), although I think that it may not be clear that the boredom is with the person they’re in the relationship with, and not just a general “I’m bored, i think I’ll mess with them” kind of thing.
It’s also interesting to read this and know what will go on between Lenny and Susan later on in the strip.
I have never played softball as an adult, or any organized sport I can think of. Never occurred to me to want to. I’m sure it’s probably very fun.
