I'm just going to point out that this marks Dawn Weston's 100th appearance in this blog. Congratulations Dawn. Whereas, Ian Cameron has only appeared 27 times in over 1,300 posts. Congratulations us.
I have to side with Dawn in this mini-conflict, by the way. All that was required was a perfunctory greeting, but Dave is practically shouting, 'Hey, Dawn, check out my new/old girlfriend! Do ya know her? Huh? This is Paula!!' In the second panel, he's even sending her gloating rays. Jerk.
Dawn, dear, pouty-face is not attractive on a toddler, let alone a young lady of quality.
I didn't interpret the emanations as gloating rays coming from Dave, but rather as angry rays being broadcast by Dawn. Either way, we are not dealing with benign radiant beams here. Somebody get Paula a lead apron!
I like the way the bananas in Dawn's bag are pointing accusingly at Dave and Paula.
I haven't been able to post comments the last few days, so I need to address Howie and Carm. Evidently Howie's brother Gordon (in Ottawa, Ontario) died on May 18th:
Paula looked cuter yesterday when she wasn't sporting bangs. How odd that various sections within the produce department are numbered - usually only the aisles are numbered. I'm guessing Giella went down his list of Things In A Grocery Store and selected Pears, Oats, Numbers, and Paper Sack to include in this compelling story. Dawn is so gonna take out her anger on that smirking teddy bear when she gets home.
When does Ted Confey get out on parole? He might be a good fit for Dawn. Or maybe Charlie. Or maybe she should just go back to having a relationship with her smart phone, she seemed much happier then.
Meanwhile, Dr. Jeff, in a deep depression, continues watching TV in his hallway.
Since Dave and Paula have no bags or shopping cart, does this mean they went to the grocery store to make out? Things in Santa Royale must be even duller than we thought.
I expect that Grocery is adjacent to Mountainview Hospital. Smug, self-satisfied Mary will bump into a distraught Dawn (trailing bananas) and will invite her for coffee at Diner. Let's all steel ourselves for several weeks of meddling!
How rude of Dave to squeeze his tomato in front of the tomatoes!
I wonder if Dawn is going to drop her groceries and put her fingers to her temples to try to make Dawn's head explode, a la Dr. Sheldon Cooper? She's already emitting death rays but they don't seem to be reaching their targets.
Funny, how groceries can bring out our inner selves. . . In yesterday's strip, Dawn's bag of groceries had what looked like a box of tissues (ready for a good cry?) on top. Today, she has shifted her groceries so that the accusatory bananas are on top. . .Those pears, by the way, look like the judgmenatl audience at a Jerry Springer show. ..
I feel like Dave is going to say something about Dawn helping him out recently, or Paula will say something like, "Dave was just telling me how sweet you are, and how you are like a sister to him!" Cue MW's next PSA about Talking To Someone In Order To Avoid Suicide...?
A ride around lovely Santa Royale (with Wilbur, of course) on smallish horses might be just the ticket to pull Dawn out of this terrible funk! I wonder if the stable is still in business? If it is...who knows, maybe there's a cute male groomer working there who hasn't heard about Dawn. Poor girl. She's about to run out of eligible men to date. She might have to move to Goleta.
It's confirmed... Dawn is actually at least 40 years old, still lives at home and snuggles with a possessed teddy bear. I see Wilbur made it to the store to post those aisle numbers so Dawn can find her way around (and hopefully back to bedroom 309 or 311 at home).

Do the pears have a symbolic meaning?

Dawn must have been there a long time sincce she had time to change her hair style from yesterday.
The 6 appears to be taped securely to the wall, while the 7 is precariously suspended from the ceiling by the edge of the paper.

Good comments yesterday, everyone!
Wow, Dave and Paula better put on some body armor, those spiky things shooting from Dawn look hazardous to health! Go Dawn!!
We've seen this pouty/mean face from Dawn before:

She keeps losing out to a new blonde chick. One without a teddy bear.

Why doesn't Dawn slap the crap out of Dave like she did Drew Corey?

Man, I don't think love is for any of these people.
Wouldn't be great if Dawn threw herself on the floor and had a tantrum?
