For three days we've watched Scott pack that trunk with about as much hand-me-down luggage as it can hold, and where are they going? Northern Santa Royale? That sounds pretty remote. Be sure to pack your microwave so you can make popcorn.Even if Heaven's Orchard Resort is as great as Jeff says it is, it is not so great that I actually want to go on this honeymoon with them.
Today's Full Strip
"Heaven Orchard Resort"? In Santa Royale?
ReplyDeleteIt sort of sounds like a religious-based resort where copies of the Good Book are given to all guest and there's no liquor served on the premises. Just saying...it AIN'T Bora Bora!
By the way, looking back on Jill's drunken purchase of a week's voucher at the Four Seasons Bora Bora, we can be glad it wasn't at the Four Seasons TORA Bora!
It sounds like a rehab center with emphasis on transcendental meditation and fasting. No eating meat, only fruit.
ReplyDeleteWhat is happening to Mary's head in panel two? I think she's having a stroke! And Jeff and his doctor daughter are blissfully unaware that they should be calling 911...
ReplyDeleteActually, the honeymoon destination is a perfect fit for Adrian and Scott.
ReplyDeleteHeaven's Orchard??? EEEEK! They should run, FAST, in the other direction! And for sure avoid the Kool Aid...
ReplyDeleteHow can Adrian be so pleased to honeymoon in Northern Santa Royale?? She should see this as a big fat red flag for the life she'll be leading...
Heaven's Orchard is run by RICHIE'S KILLER. Good Lord, somebody catch that guy... if only we knew a hotshot detective.
ReplyDeleteI understand staying local instead of Bora Bora...
ReplyDeletewith work being so busy for Scott lately...
Of course Adrian can't ask him to cut back for his honeymoon! His work is very important!
Which reminds me of someone... Someone in NORTH Santa Royale...
I wonder if Heaven's Orchard is anywhere near the Valley,
where Lawrence Jonis keeps his wife tucked away...
'cause it's Great!
Hey! I happen to have stayed at Heaven's Orchard Resort. Here is a photo from their brochure.

Plenty of on site parking for Adrians car.
Thanks Chester, but your photo is of the luxury accomodations. It is my understanding that Adrian and Scott will be pitching a tent.
ReplyDeleteWhy the heck did they put in Jill giving them Bora Bora vouchers if it wasn't going to be accepted? Just to remind us that it's the thought that counts? I am so annoyed. They actually got me thinking AGAIN that someone might do something interesting in this comic. Seriously, Moy is diabolical.
ReplyDelete@Amanda Kate - I think it was a red herring for us. Something to throw us off the scent and tease us into thinking something other than the predictable would happen. But instead the world's most boring couple is stuffing the trunk of the world's most boring car, to drive...what, 10 miles? Bon voyage!
ReplyDeleteActually my favorite part of today's strip is the author/artist signature that looks like it's part of Mary's coiffure. I wonder if I could get my hairdresser to give me "the signature." Will it catch on like "the Rachel"?
Actually, Heaven's Orchard sounds like a cemetery. Which makes me think Scott is packing the car with all the power tools he will need to dismember Adrian's cold, stiff body before burying her in a remote corner of the Orchard. Then he'll take Party-girl Jill with him to Bora Bora, where he will disappear forever the day after they check out of the voucher resort. Jill will head home all teary-eyed again and become a lifelong drunkard, dropping in on random Santa Royale weddings to shout warnings at the bride(s)-to-be, thanks to her having been left at the altar once and ditched by a Ted Bundy-like bad boy disguised as a good guy.

Ominously, my word verification today is "prove."
wheelhead@4.33p - I don't think what you're proposing will happen, if only because it would never occur to Karen Moy to write anything even a quarter so exciting.
ReplyDeleteis it gonna be a new storyline or will they have the nerve to show the honeymoon which will show them picking apples or grapes wearing the same clothes even though they put 20 bags in the car.
ReplyDelete@wheelhead: "Heaven's Orchard sounds like a cemetery." GUFF-AW!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Scott's about to throw his back out loading all that stuff in the trunk! Lotta' fun THAT honeymoon's going to be with back spasms and ice packs!
ReplyDelete"Heaven's Orchard" does sound like a cult! While Scott's flat on his back in agony in room 204, Adrian will likely take up with some nice new "friends" selling flowers in the parking lot.
For all the "love you's" in today's strip, why does it look like Jeff is about to strangle Adrian while Mary looks on approvingly in the second panel?
ReplyDeleteAdrian has her shirt on backwards.
ReplyDeleteScott and Adrian's car looks like the batmobile in today's panel
ReplyDeleteMy, that is one varied landscape.
ReplyDeleteI think this is where they are heading. Seems to fit the bill but it's not in California.
