I guess she's just... wandering around a clothing store in a bikini?
I don't know if it's better or worse that McEldowney draw scraps of fabric and didn't try drawing panties.

There were INCREDIBLY long sequences about which animal-print body suit Juliet was selecting to wear under her skirt suit and white coat, and the effect it had on people.
LONG sequences.
Including fantasy sequences of her in a loin cloth swinging through trees.

"Ugh, why has McEldowney started cramming sex into everything" babe this a throughline going back to the 1990s, when barely-pubescent Edda regularly inspected her mother's lingerie and sometimes tried it on.

oh come ON!
We had to go here?
We had to be DRAGGED HERE?
To the land of water fucking and legs?
Ugh.

This week is still going strong!!!!! (complimentary)

This is such a pointless thing to get riled up over. I agree.

I have NO IDEA what is going on here but I love it.
I'm incredibly glad we're not getting a week of Thorax. If there's more Thorax tomorrow I'm going to be SO peeved.

She's so tall that her groin is at his chest height. She could easily devour him. Why does she not. Why does she not devour him.

Excuse me, MA'AM playing two pianos at once, but I know Tori Amos and YOU are NO Tori Amos.

"You've never met me, but I'm an adult old enough to be your wife's father and I have VERY strong feelings about you fucking her."

Ok so first of all I'd rather chew off my fingers than listen to my parents discuss their sex lives OR discuss my sex life around my child. What the FUCK.
Second I'm assuming "the grave stone" is when they left the altar at their wedding to go fuck in the cemetery.

It's Polly's various husbands and fiances and one night stands.
Obviously.

How many chinless men is she going to marry?
Jesus.

Grammar Pedantry (other than his misuse of ellipses) is one of McEldowney's wheelhouses so him making such a bonkers grammar claim is deeply, honestly troubling.
The punchline is fine and suits the strip and the characters but the hyphen issue? Ouch.

Old, young, how can anyone know since we have no idea who this is?
I guess it could be the rich guy older than her dad, who's lost weight and dyed his hair?
Or just a complete stranger?
No idea! I hate it!

I still don't know who these clowns are.
I wish McEldowney had established different color palettes for the twins. Different clothing styles. Different haircuts, even. Basically anything to make them visually distinct at all from each other.

Brown hair, huh?
Is this Seth and Fernanda's kid?
Here's hoping he's over 18!!!

I have no idea who either of these people are, in that they could be recurring cast members OR complete strangers, but this is a fantastic strip and that woman sums up the actual reaction most people would have to this strip's bullshit.

Is she... dressed up as a Chinese woman? Complete with wig?

Hugh's verbosity in the first panel is extremely Hugh; it's very in character. Kudos to that.
And kudos to having an actual joke, that further is character consistent.
#9CL #9ChickweedLane
Ok, look. The setup is slightly clunky and the final panel doesn't stick the landing.
But "Oh God, No!" (weird punctuation?) is fantastic.
If Hugh's reaction in the final panel was "thank god" or something, or even "good talk," it'd work better.

I'm kind of glad we haven't seen Gran in a decade or so.

There's, uh. There's a lot going on here, there's a lot to discuss, but I want to focus on one thing and one thing only:
If she sits up abruptly that faucet is going to rip her scalp open.
That's a bad way to soak in a tub.

"Brigid why do you keep reading this comic" look pal I use "surfeit" as part of my every day vocabulary I am FURIOUS this comic about pretentious know it alls isn't better written!!!
It's like if Amigara Fault was slightly too small. My perfect outline but the scale was off.

Anyway the "swung for the bleachers" set up is good but the delivery of the punchline is clumsy and could have used editing. A for effort though.

I have no clue who this is, how old he is, or who the "simpering idiots" are. I suppose they could be the twins? But they could also be Edda and Amos. I also don't know why physics is so broken.

Again, Amos has LUXURIOUS hair, gorgeous, and also this is a GREAT Edda and Amos interaction, very typically Amos, we don't get to see this kind of Amos very often.
