Wouldn't it be great if the Beedies run into Tina Baby and Zak eating and making goo-goo eyes at each other at New Diner on the Boardwalk?! Please please please let it be so!
Will New Diner have a similar menu to Diner? Is rainbow swirl ice cream available there or do they specialize in Nouvelle Diner Cuisine? Tommy should be less apathetic, because how often do you get a chance to experience New Diner dining?
So, the upshot is ... Iris isn't allowed to have a sex life. She only gets to be a mother, even though her son is an adult. And Mary made her feel bad for spending too much time at college and not enough time with Tommy. ... I am displeased!
On the other hand, Bible-based therapy (whose suggestion was that again?) seems to be failing poor old Tommy. I hope he can get back on the right track. Maybe he needs a Wilbur in his life as a role model. Zak would not have been able to play that role.
With any luck, Mr. Alora will move a new tenant into the Beedie flat whilst they're away.
"Tenant" can also be used synonymously in this case with "protagonist", "meddle-ee", or "future background of a clown painting."
Any good plot transition involves Mr. Alora or a pool party. Taking Tommy to the dinner to expose him to a new job opportunity or to get food poisoning so he needs to be hospitalized are not good plot transitions (though a hospital visit could leave Tommy hooked up to a hi-fi, always a thrilling panel).
Probably nothing will happen at New Diner, since it is a situation fraught with potential for drama. Just like Dawn Weston's Non-Confrontation Scene with Iris, even if Tina or Wilbur were at New Diner, it would be nothing more than a fizzle.
PANEL ONE Tommy and Iris are sitting in a booth at New Diner.
Iris: Tommy. Look over there. Isn't that Tina? Tommy: Uh, maybe.
NEXT PANEL Tina-looking young lady with young man and baby in infant seat, just leaving.

I hope they run into Zak there. To paraphrase Chris Farley, that would be awesome!

I suggest a new name for this strip, since it no longer showcases Mary Worth. Beedie Bytes, perhaps?

Maybe the new diner will need a janitor.
Why eat out when there's a box of OAT sitting on the counter?
I hated where this story line was going, but I love the drama of the boardwalk. I can't wait to see Diner II.

But will they get mugged? And will the mugger be someone from Tommy's past?
I am with KitKat on this one. Sadly, however, I think it will just be Tina.

The Bum Boat has new competition huh. I think New Diner will go up in flames soon.
