A friend of mine never had anything in the house but water or tea. I’ve become that way myself over the years, but at the time I enjoyed having milk, juice, or occasionally soft drinks around.
Christine is grinning, showing teeth, btw. Since I didn’t draw in individual teeth, or a line separating her rows of teeth, it might appear she has her warped mouth open like some great white cavern.
It’s also one of the first strips I wrote where I found the dialogue patter to be entertaining and funny in the way that it would be if you were there, but where if you look hard — you can’t actually find anything really funny about it.
Bruno was never 100% clear on the tenets Catholicism, but she was always LOUD and clear when she felt someone preached one thing, even wanted her to live by it, but that they didn’t live by it themselves.
But, for some reason her and Jay developed a deep caring for each other.
