And here Lenny comes back and redeems himself. But pushes it just far enough so he can’t be taken overly seriously.
I often feel like this on bad days, just need a wee bit of cheer. I also want to say that at the time a friend of mine was ill or something and was cheered up by daisies, but it was so long ago I’ve forgotten.
What cracks me up about Lenny’s final line, is that he may not be being subtle, but I’m very unclear to what he is implying. :)
Too much drinking when you’re caught up in your personal tragic situation and really depressed about it is never pretty.
Good to see that Lenny has her back. And it’s always that guy, who shows up in some special costume, is drunk, and everyone kinda’ knows from ‘around,’ isn’t it.
Btw, in case you forgot, this is a re-run (with comments) of the strip “Bruno,” and the dates don’t really line up, so this strip ORIGINALLY ran on halloween.
I like that this strip has a deeper sentiment behind it. Because, when you don’t believe, but you’re tired of making all your decisions for yourself without the guidance of an old book, which religion (which you don’t believe) can you turn to? I was in 6th grade when I realized (on my own) that all religions have “proof” and I would never know which was correct.
Of course, the surface of the strip is just her complaining because she’s having a rough day. :)
The first panel is my favorite line.
This strip also reminds me of college days, hanging out in cafes half asleep. Ah. Good days, when it was still okay to be unproductive.
Oh, and if you didn’t notice in the copyright line, the answer is “resolute”
Ah, human nature. We can poke ourselves, but if someone else joins in with too much gusto, them become fighting words.
