So here it comes, eh? A one dollar midnite retro movie date and a two dollar lime soda. Pop the question.

Way to impress a gal, Dave, I mean Jim. Whatever.

Dave in Parma said...

"I will Jim! I will!"

In the bright side, if they get married, we won't need to see them again (like Dr. Adrian). Looks like Wilbur will need someone else to cook his meals. Perhaps that mysterious Joy.

Golly, Dawn is articulate. She says so much with a single exclamation point.

If they do decide to get married, I suggest Jill Black as a wedding consultant. This time her skills are sorely needed, as these two need to be broken up!

Thorpnotized said...

I want to know what that ominous thing is hovering above Dawns head. It must be important, since we can see it in both panels...

Nance said...

Not only is Jim having a Psychotic Break, he is the dreaded Close-Talker.

Dawn, on the other hand, Brave World Explorer that she is, doesn't need that outdated social construct known as "talking" at all.

Jim: I want us to be more than friends.

Dawn: !

Jim: I know, right? I feel it, too. Our destinies are meant to be one. Let's get married...TONIGHT.

Dawn: ?

Jim: Come with me now. I have a justice of the peace in the car. He should awaken soon. We can go to my place.

Dawn: ()

Jim: No need to disturb your father. We can tell him tomorrow morning, from our honeymoon hideaway!

Dawn: - +

Jim: I know you'll miss him. But once we're married and together, everything will be perfect. Drink up, and you'll feel the same way...soon.

"!" = "This does NOT remind me of Dave."

Thorpnotized said...

By the way, is it me or has it become increasingly difficult to prove I'm not a robot? For my other post, I had to skip the first four word combinations to get to something I could actually read. And the audio versions are impossible to figure out.

"Hey, Mom! I've met the girl of my dreams, and we're getting married! Here's a photo of her. Doesn't she remind you of someone?"

"Uh... That's nice, dear."

Okay, look at these images from romance comics from the 40's, 50's, and 60's (their heyday) and tell me that Giella is not stealing his male figures straight from these pages!

Great comments from Wanders and everyone else today!

@Thorpnotized at 9:17 AM, Dawn is about to conk her head on the marquee. No cineplexes in Santa Royale!

Jim is certainly expecting a lot in return for a ticket to an old movie and a bottle of soda. Dawn must have "cheap date" written all over her ("cheap" in more ways than one).

Not Moy said...

Sorry, Jim, but I will be spending the next ten of my teen years exporing everything because, you know, I'm smart for a teenager. And, although we've known each other for only a couple of days, I can tell that you're a half a bubble off. But hey, thanks anyway.

Is Dawn getting college credit for watching old movies too?

Looks like Jim wants to give her some extra credit.

and now the stalker becomes the stalkee. Ain't life grand and not brutal?

So Jim just drops his dry lime soda when he grabs Dawn? What great romantic technique!

That object above Dawn is the port bridge wing of the ferry that is about to hit the pier, taking off Jim's other limbs, just like the black night in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Oh good lord, black "knight", not "night"!

Maybe Mr. Dr. Adrian will arrest Jim for littering.

Ben said...

Honestly? This has crossed from potentially creepy to genuinely unsettling. It's like if Luke wanted to pursue Leia after knowing she was his sister.

duckduck said...

@ Thorpnotized 9:30 -I've often had to shuffle through a few combinations. The photos are more often out of focus and increasingly difficult to read. I'd never tried the audio until today; fun to listen to but impossible to decipher.

Limber Joe said...

Gone With the Wind must've been sold out...

Product placement: Dry Lime Soda.

Kudos, Ms. Moy!

Brick said...

Jim looks like a young Kiefer Sutherland today... something about the mouth.

My husband has a similar mouth. It's no coincidence.
