Wait a minute... the only thing that interests me is what happened between this moment...
And this moment:
How did the customers feel? Did the manager speak with either of them? How did Tommy not get fired? And what did they do when they ran into each other in the cold cereal aisle?

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
"So Little Separates The Lionel Ritchies From The Beatles, From The Simon And Garfunkels And The Neil Diamonds".
(Hello,)
Couldn't Tommy have offered to take a drug test and clear up this whole matter? There would still be the problems of him being a control freak and her being a world-class conclusion jumper, but still...
I agree with Wanders. Did the Battling Babes argue at Freda’s all day, or we’re they sent packing by the manager, if one was there? Did the customers just fill their carts and bypass checkout? Harrumph, KM.
I never would have pegged Tommy as a Simon and Garfunkel admirer. Insane Clown Posse, maybe....
Who else saw today’s second panel and immediately wondered if Brandy’s cat has only one eye? Join me in raising your hand.
Argh, accursed autocorrect struck again! I meant were, not we’re.
I certainly wouldn’t allow a cat to put a foot on my face. After all, you do know where it’s been.
I agree… so many unanswered questions.
Did Tommy go back to the alley to try and find Vin after he left the store?
Did he remember where he parked his car?
Has Iris finally stopped paying the electric bill in an effort to get Tommy to start contributing?
Why didn’t Brandy remove her pink shirt, earrings, and lipstick before she went to bed?
Why are bras and batteries sized in the same manner (i.e. AAA, AA, B, C, D)?

Down dirty streets I walked alone /
Demoted to the damn friend zone /
In the halo of a street lample /
Ol’ Vin enticed me with a free sample /
And my eyes got huge just as Babe happened to walk by /
And now I /
Get the silent treatment.

P.S. Tommy's facial expression in that top panel from Sunday deserves at least an Honorable Mention for Panel of the Year! He looks like the Hulk . . . or something.
Good job, Scottie! A banner day for BFH, Nance, and great comments fellow snarkaholics! If MW was a Seinfeld episode, I suspect all those gathered around the checkout would be chiming in with their own comments. "Hey, give the kid a break, Brandy!" "So, what happened after he got high in the alley?" "Anyone want to do a poll on whether or not these two should break up?" "I KNOW the shelf had a sign saying sauerkraut juice is three for five dollars!" But no, this is the West Coast, where people do not engage in conversation in the checkout line, even if there's an earthquake. And yes, KitKat, my first thought upon seeing Brandy's cat was to wonder if it had just one eye...
I can't top Scottie or Nance. Bravo to both of you!
I think Babe's cat wants to lick her milk tears.
I too was wondering if any of the people milling around reported this inappropriate conversation to the manager and if these two got written up.These two numbskulls are the reason why workplace romances are frowned upon.
WHy Tommy would want to be with this shrew is beyond me. She doesn't want to hear his explanations or give him the benefit of the doubt and most likely will get him fired. You dodged a bullet, my friend.
Thanks, @LouiseF. @Scottie McW--Keep writing those parodies and maybe Weird Al will give you a call (or a Cease And Desist letter).
@HelenClark--Bras and Batteries: both useful items, but hardly interchangeable.
Thanks for the kind words!
Next Sunday he'll be singing "It Ain't Me, Babe."

Wasn't Sounds of Silence used in the Graduate?
@Nance, if I had been drinking anything, it would have been all over my computer.
@kitkat, yep, I wondered how many eyes the cat had as well.
@HelenClark, bras and batteries, I never realized it before, but that is hilarious.
@MDMaryTed, so it was! I only remembered "Mrs. Robinson." Guess I should watch that movie again.
