So we FINALLY meet Dawn's
old pal Cathy! I've always imagined Cathy as a good influence on Dawn, and today's strip supports that. But Dawn has no intention of being honest with Jared because she worries about his happiness. That's why she's dressed to discourage any attention from the men at the club.
"I mean, I don't want to leave him, because a person without a romantic partner is a hopeless loser – I mean, look at my dad – but it's not as if I actually like him. You've met him. Who could, right?"
ReplyDeleteThe secret message made me laugh out loud, Wanders. Every garden in Santa Royale has been depleted of lettuce.
ReplyDeleteThe restaurant’s name translates to “Moon Tart”? Multiple layers of meaning there, including what Jared might call Dawn when he finds out how she actually spent her evening. We all know that somehow he WILL find out, e.g., Dawn throws out her back dancing at the club and is taken to the ER, where Jared confronts her.
ReplyDeleteSitcom premise No. 34: Jared finds out. Vulgarity ensues.

That is obviously Stell; knowing Wilbur would get flustered about their girls night out she’s had to dye her hair and adopt the alias Cathy.
ReplyDeleteBelieve me… it’s EASIER this way.
Siri translates "Tartes de Lune" as "Moon Pies". For Dawn, that works too.
ReplyDeleteA girls night out so they go to a pseudo-French restaurant and get salads???? Can't wait to see what this "club" looks like. Clearly KM has never done a girls night out.

ReplyDeleteKM seems to be focused on rather puerile story lines lately. Tonight's dream feature will be: "Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire" starring Dawn Weston.

That’s a whole lot of salad for such eensy tiny forks. It will take forever to get to the dance club at this rare.
ReplyDelete@fauxprof, you have an eagle eye. Looks like the tiny condiment fork I use to get capers out of the jar.
ReplyDeleteIf it weren't for hapless sad sacks like Dawn, this strip would have NO plot, so be grateful for her cluelessness and the wisdom that awaits (along with steaming muffins) in Mary's kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI see Cathy ordered the orange wedges in her salad. Good choice.
ReplyDeleteDawn is so immature, sheesh!
We have a new earring shape, people. This is so exciting!! I’ll call it “The Cathy.”
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering how will Jared actually find out. I love KitKat's idea of Dawn throwing her back out and going to the ER. But that would be too much fun for KM to allow. I'm guessing Mr. Uncommon Mouth Dreamy Guy will be at 'The Club'. That seems obvious. Maybe he will throw his back out and Dawn will accompany him to the ER. That could work.
ReplyDeleteMissScarlet and KitKat... me too; I'm wondering how Dawn will somehow end up in the ER where Jared is working. Maybe Hunky Monkey will add roofies to Dawn's Pepsi?
ReplyDeleteNot Pepsi- Since they are at the Moon Pie, she’s almost certainly drinking RC Cola. Can we have RC Cola and a Moon Pie on the jukebox? (The NRBQ version)
