"Sorry, I'll be in Spain supporting my husband." seems like an entirely reasonable excuse that no one could object to. Blondie  Are they at the cinema?

Moose and Molly  Moose is rubbing in his love for his wife in right after Mother's Day, while doing nothing special for his mom on Mother's Day. Bad move, Moose.

Speaking of twisted, and incoherent plot lines.. Here's a completely unassuming Jane's World  Non Sequitur  That was pretty funny, Wiley. Heavenly Nostrils  Yeah, I'd have to agree, the conceited thing gets a little old when they're run back to back. I understand that's Marigold's "thing", but break it up every once in a while. Kliban   Welp, definitely late 60s early 70s here.9 Chickweed Lane 5/14/2003  I.. uh...  Zits  Roses and a sheer nighty should do the trick.. wouldn't you say Jeremy's Mom?  Kevin & Kell  Christ...  Nemi  At first, I thought Nemi had a big ol' spliff in her left hand...

Is this just bizarro authorial fiat or is there some backstory I'm unaware of?

 Someone earlier was asking about the 180 degree rule and I just wanted to point out this perfect example. While being chased by the bearcoon Mark is running to the right, but he falls to the left. It's not so egregious here because there's only one object to focus on but it's pointless to do and easy to avoid.

Eschers Basement posted:I gotta say, the thing that most fascinates me about Emmy Lou is how well Marty Links documents the styles of the period. If you look at most strips with young characters, the characters fit into one of two styles - either some sort of timeless 'generic white middle class' style (Dustin, Shoe, Blondie, FOOB) or into the 'distinctly the style worn when the character was created and has never updated' (Zits, Nancy). Emmy Lou really stands out for having the main characters actually dress in the style that fashion-concious teenagers of its time would, and updating that style as times changed. I've been enjoying it for the same reason, I remember wearing all of those granny dresses and hotpants. That's really interesting about Marty Links and her background in fashion illustration. Contrast that with the women's clothes in Juliet Jones; Stan Drake is observationally very accurate but he doesn't quite capture the fashions (something which actually works well for the small-town girls he's depicting, come to think of it.)
