"Thank you, Zak. Your approval means everything to me. I was thinking I'd take a nap, but now that you say it, I'll drop a few classes instead."

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"The Only Thing Hot In This Relationship Is The Coffee".

Hate less best.
Hey, all.
Concerned.
Tired modern living.
Guess.
Reduce won't less!

Iris, the fact that Zak says out loud that he won’t think less of you means he thinks less of you.

Another terrific BFH title, Nance! It sums things up to a T.

Zak seems to be peculiarly insistent that Iris simply drop some classes rather than take any other measure, such as getting more rest or seeing a doctor. Might he have an ulterior motive?

"If you cut back on your class schedule, you'd have more time to relax and, oh I don't know, straighten up around here a little. Maybe do some grocery shopping and prepare some nice dinners. You know, fun stuff."

-- Scottie McW.

P.S. Agree with KitKat, Nance, another gem of a BFH title.

You have to wonder if KM is really so clueless that she thinks Zak's partonizing remark is truly endearing or if she's just pushing our buttons.

Home run for Nance! Way to make maximum use of those clouds of steam! Speaking of that strange illustration of the hot drink handoff from Iris to Zak, I was reminded of the creation of Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, that is, of course, if Adam could be reanimated by a cup of Postum.

Oh Iris, you sure can pick ‘em.

Will anyone think less of me if I drop this halfwitted comic strip?

Tim said...

What's with the clouds of steam pouring out of that cup? I think Iris is giving Zack a cup of liquid oxygen.

MDMaryTed said...

Oh, was that steam coming from the cup? I thought it was an over use of whipped cream on their cappuccino which I totally could get on board with.

Nance said...

Oh, thanks everyone. I have to say, however, that I'm feeling like Chin Napkin Groupie and Iris--suffering from Intense Malaise even though we've stopped looking in on the Westons, and there is the whiff of a possibility that Iris could be With Child Other Than Zak.

Which character's return could bring us all out of it? Anyone?

KitKat said...

Nance, I vote for The Return of Aldo Kelrast, who may not have died after all. If Aldo truly is otherwise engaged, I nominate Ted (what a character!) Miller.

"If you reduce your class schedule, I won't think less of you. But if you don't reduce your class schedule, I certainly will!"

It's always about how Zak feels. I know he's young but c'mon...

Holy smokes! Don't drink the coffee.
