the only letter i hope 'mg69 is gonna be writing any time soon is one that reads,
"Dear Lynn Johnston,
We want to see what happens with Liz and Anothony! We appreciate your sensitivity to the needs of the differently abled: however, a storyteller of your gifts must admit that this is a poor time to choose to cut to a stock storyline about April's relationship with the girl with special needs whose name I can't remember. If you are feeling time constraints because you want to tell this story before the end of the school year and you want it to seem as though it's taking place in real-time, take it from me: your public will forgive you if it ends suddenly and the rest of it takes place in July and they are still in school.
Sincerely,
Comicsgurl69, proprietress
'Righteous Dudes and Cats with 'Tudes' "
seriously folks, i am catching the so-thoroughly-detailed-it-makes-me-a-little-afraid scent of a Patterson wedding on the summer breeze. I want to see Anthony get that knee dirtier than the bottom of Elizabeth's pumps when the dude carried her! Enough is enough. OK OK: Here's how itll go down, he has proposed and, in doing so, gets down on his knee in the mud. In the next strip he is talking to Mike and a couple of his friends about the proposal and the issue of the ring comes up and in the 2nd to last panel Anthony's like, "Well, I didn't plan this, so I didn't have a ring... but I've already got one all picked out!" and one of his friends goes "Oh yeah...?" and then in the next panel the same friend continues, "...Where'd you get the 'muddy'?" and it is a further out perspective, so we see that Anthony's knee is still muddy from when he knelt in the mud to propose. The friend is pointing at the knee, which maybe has some lines drawn around it for emphasis, and mike is laughing with his mouth in a triangle, maybe his tongue sticking out. nearby, a girl is covering her mouth with her hand and giggling.
Comically wholesome gold! if only the new love of my life were reading this, we could oust Lynn Johnston from her queen bee position and every 4-week cycle would be a "Lawrence's Story!" (Just kidding, LJ!!!)

sorry dude, it can never be between you and laura. she's french canadian.
but she's always up for a Pun Challenge! sigh.. i know it's not meant to be, look at her prominently but tastefully displaying her wedding ring in the picture.
either that, or i will be the real-life inspiration for FBFW to finally tackle the topic of divorce full-frontal.
uh. guys?
what the hell is up with the comic 'prickly city?' i've never seen it before, but am killing time on the seattle times comix page, and there it is. complete with a cat, a little girl, and references to llamas. (which i hear are good eating, btw) wtf?
