Re: 11-03-17 Hang in the van
I could really go for a car with a mattress; would help so much with school. I do have an inflatable bed I put in the back of my sedan, but being 6'2" I can't really comfortably fit back there without resting in the fetal position.

Re: 11-03-17 Hang in the van
Gary being the loveable idiot. Gotta love it.
Also, Zii, don't have any accidents in the van... in more ways than one.
Didi will probably want the consolation, but no clue if Maura & Tess will be there. Politeness would dictate that they exit stage right now, unless Didi & them are having a cry-a-thon. In an odd twist, they could all three be watching le wrestling again after the commercial break and Didi is just remarking "Kiley who?" It would be nice for Didi to have learned something here, but she could short circuit and try to forget the event due to the trauma. I expect not, and that she will be a crying mess when Zii & Gary screech home. Just trying to imagine the punchline for future strips involving Didi being so sad... without imagining baby seals being clubbed or puppies beaten.

Re: 11-03-17 Hang in the van
Ah, fear of commitment taking a whole new form...
Maura and Tess may well withdraw after DiDi's older friends get home, though. Zii and Gary finding out about DiDi's new interest, and Zii perhaps getting a sense that DiDi is rebounding off in a new direction (token damnit!), could add plot twists, along with Zii getting angry at Kiley again.
Hmm. What are the odds of Gary recognising Maura and Tess from the local TV wrestling? Probably low, actually, given that they fight masked.
Plus a bumper sticker saying "Don't laugh, it's your daughter inside"?True_Avery wrote:I could really go for a car with a mattress; would help so much with school.

I'm no expert on the etiquette or the practicalities in such situations, but I'm not sure that one should rush out too quickly on someone who's quite so obviously badly upset. They may well want that shoulder to cry on, and one should probably at least check that they aren't about to go off on some crazy self-destructive jag.worldshaking00 wrote:Didi will probably want the consolation, but no clue if Maura & Tess will be there.

Well, it could be a legitimate way to take DiDi's mind off the sadness.worldshaking00 wrote:In an odd twist, they could all three be watching le wrestling again after the commercial break and Didi is just remarking "Kiley who?"

Re: 11-03-17 Hang in the van
Well for those preferring Gary & Zii's subplot over the wrestling one it would appear that both will soon collide. Literally if Zii isn't careful.
What's he supposed to say? Gary may be getting smoother with the ladies, but he half jokingly broached the subject of taking a tumble with her before and she brushed him off. He could try again, but sometimes it's best not to repeat the same joke.worldshaking00 wrote:Gary being the loveable idiot. Gotta love it.

All that's missing is some van art, and the 70s will call to ask for their van back!

Zii's face in the third panel cracked me up. Maybe Gary and Zii will run into Kiley as she's leaving the apartment.

Zii side steps the issue while Gary keeps pressing her buttons.

Maura and Tess Leave before Zii and Gary get there

I'm even more in favor now of Zii, in a panic, deciding and suggesting that Gary and Didi pretend to be dating in front of Kiley in order to induce jealousy. Panic, of course, because she doesn't want to admit that she's finding Gary attractive.

Re: 11-03-17 Hang in the van
ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! would not Kiley be jealous that Gary found someone more than Didi finding someone? or would that be double jealousy? plus if Zii does that, Didi and Gary might find out they are perfect for each other, leading to Zii being one listening to Didi and Gary instead of both Gary and Zii listening to Didi with someone in the past through the wall

...remind me again why Zii doesn't want to be attracted to Gary?
