Once again, the quote in context is a little deeper than the comic strip really deserves. I was going to paste the poem into a Star Wars scroll because it would have been hilarioius. But I couldn't really do that to such a beautiful poem.
Thanks for the link to the list of Warsan Shire quotations, Wanders. I particularly noted #13, “I’m not a dog.” I suppose KM didn’t use that one because we all know that DOGS ARE GOOD!
In my newspaper, today’s MW was printed with uncommonly vivid coloration. Dawn and Jared look like they both asleep in tanning beds. It also enhances Dawn’s furious expressions- yikes. She looks like a volcano poised to erupt.
Dawn, ask Mary who Jared’s mystery woman is. Mary hacked into Northview Hospital’s patient database (just tidying things up!) and has the goods on Jess Bender.
Mee meow? That’s right, Libby — with the tragic lapse of Wilbur & Estelle storylines it's been a long time since we visited Cantando! Toby, Cal, Helen and I will be there tonight (on a swingingly age-appropriate double date) belting out the classic power ballad by Sir Elton John:
Rock It Man
She baked muffins last night, pre-flight Zero hour, 9 AM, And I'm gonna be hiii-igh As a floating head by then..
I think it's gonna be a long, long time Til Moy's plot brings us round again to find Dawnie's on the prowl for someone new Oh, no, Hugo She wants a Rock It Man... A Rock It Man, or whoever's got cute hair at the zoo
I miss Charterstone so much, I miss my life It's lonely out in negative space On such a senseless flight
And I think she's gonna need a lot more clarity She shoulda been the one to break up with Jared, he is not the Jedi they think he is at home Oh, no, Hugo He's not a Rock It Man A Rock It Man, quoting Star Wars to his cat alone
And every time some guy reminds her of Dave It'll bring her round again to cave in to her very own kind of fluster Oh, no, Hugo She needs a Rock It Man! A Rock It Man, who's dimwitted enough to trust her
And I think it won’t be long til we find him in Inappropriate trysts with battered women Thinkin he’s the galaxy’s defender Oh no, Hugo He wants to be a Rock It Man! A Rock It Man, such a disaster for Jess Bender
There might have to be a new category in the Worthies for Best Dawn Crazy-Eyes. Panel 5 today (if you count the title and quote as panel 1) is a contender.
Jared: "Well, her name is Jess and she... Wait a minute. Hey, look. Here's the card she gave me with her number. Would you mind calling her and telling her what a great guy I am? Maybe even use that thing you said about me being the 'feast'?"
Dawn: "Jared, you idiot. Are you the only person on the planet who doesn't know what the exchange "555" means?"

Jared tries open honesty and clear communication. Like that’s going to work with the Weston brand of toxic narcissism. Run, Jared, run!

Aw crud, Mary is going to patch up another Weston romantic failure, isn't she? Look out, Jared. Lady Brainwash is headed your way.

#Ian Cameron, PhD, huzzah, huzzah!
Who said it was a "she," Dawn?
Great job on Rock It Man, Doctor Cameron, and kudos to Scottie for Lady Brainwash!

@kitkat: "Mary hacked into Northview Hospital’s patient database (just tidying things up!)"
Love it!
Dawn: "Who is she, Jared?"
Jared: "Well, her name is Jess and she... Wait a minute. Hey, look. Here's the card she gave me with her number. Would you mind calling her and telling her what a great guy I am? Maybe even use that thing you said about me being the 'feast'?"

Loving you was like going to see Star Wars: I never came back the same.
