This is actually a callback to this comic from earlier in the Cora & Theo love story arc. It does, however, have that feel to it, doesn’t it? As Lightfoot pointed out, at least it’s a spacious and well-appointed closet[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Next Level
Cora is nothing if not direct. Not all relationships get to have this interim step, but it would seem that our favorite guitarist is keen to take it. With luck, Lightfoot’s heart still pick up its missed several beats now.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Help Line
Cora makes her reappearance, managing to sneak past a dozing tiger. There’s clearly a question on her mind, and I suspect you, Constant Reader, are eager to find out what it will be. Hang on for a wonderful chapter in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Not That Thirsty
Theo’s added comment is stolen, affectionately, from the great W. C. Fields. His original version of this quote was said only in private, since the word he used there shared the first two letters and was disallowed on radio, television,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Homophones FTW

Rubbing Off
For a this-was-not-a-date, I think our self-described “jock girls” have had a lovely evening. Good takeaway and a good film make a fine Saturday night combination. I feel sure that there will be more movies in their future. (Yes, I’m[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A Good Cry
I still say that 1989’s Steel Magnolias is one of the best films ever made. The chemistry of the cast is absolutely perfect; likewise the dialog, with memorable lines like “Are you high, Clairee?” and “”I really do love football,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Off Duty
Nickey isn’t usually so single-minded, but there are what might be called “mitigating circumstances.” This isn’t a date, after all, right? We established that, didn’t we? No need to be nervous or anything… Of course not. As always, don’t[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Freud Slips Again
Nickey is still cursing Sigmund for her own subconscious thoughts. I must tell a story on myself. When I was in (I think) 7th grade, my mother took me to some meeting or other that took place on the campus[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
