Whew. I was worried that today's strip would just be about talking about doing something (
see panel 1) instead of something actually happening. And then something happened! It looks like the next seven days we will get to hear all about Eve's feelings. Make yourself comfortable on that bench, Saul! You asked for it.

Stand by for days (weeks?) of awkward talking. If Eve and Saul start calling each other “babe,” I will hit my head against a wall.
We all know what Greta will say.
Today's (Beyond Bored) Boldface Haiku is titled
"Caninus Interruptus".
Later. Wrong...
Woof!
Speaking...
Another great one Nance! I can't decide if Saul gets Eve even more upset and she runs away and then Saul goes to Mary for advice and banana bread. Or, if Mary happens to be walking on the boardwalk and sees Eve alone crying and suggests they go to Mary's place for banana bread and platitudes. Either way, banana bread will be involved.
Get ready for Eve spilling her guts for a week? Are you kidding? It will be at least 10 days before they get there. Saul will remind us (and her) she cried at the mall for at least a week. Despite the glacial pacing (which insults glaciers), this strip is oddly compelling. If something is truly awful, can it attract rather than repel? Let's find out!
Jeez, what could Eve have possibly seen at the mall on route 10 that would drive her into a week-long funk that she hasn't already seen? My only guess is she spotted a guy who looks like her late husband or maybe a son who died. But even so, why would her sadness be any worse than it normally would?
(Boy, this pandemic has left me with waaaay too much time on my hands.)

Hey Saul, this is the woman who didn't even have the courtesy to return your phone calls when it was obvious that you cared enough to check up on her. A few years ago, the Worthy Awards entertainer was Dionne Warwick. Per her advice: "Walk on By, Saul, Walk on By."

I hope Greta brought a doggy bag. This will take a long time.
saul you dont have enough money to hook up with a youngerwoman thats why shes crying
Good thing Saul happened upon them, that tree was about to whomp 'em.
Sandi Ego, I overlooked that menacing tree - hahahahaha.
Eve, love means never having to say you’re sorry (including not apologizing for not returning Saul’s phone calls).
She can't be that sorry, since she didn't bother to contact him at all.
Okay, Greta, here's your big chance. Take Max aside and sniff out that mystery, girl!

SATURDAY
Eve: "I owe you an apology."
Saul: "Yeah, ya' do. You also owe me some gas money for driving you to the mall, and you owe me for the six pieces of pizza you scarfed down at the food court!"
