Is attractive (I think that's what Reddick wants to convey) women in comic book stores a normal thing?

I will give Reddick points if he actually acknowledges that many comics stores are still hostile territory for women. I doubt he will, though, because that would interfere with Intelligent Life's message that geeks are awesome and a superior form of humanity, while nongeeks are lame and boring.

Brad’s suggested shopping trip for the ‘women’ almost guarantees that Toni won’t get the under $200 dress she was hoping for. I can’t see Nancy going to the Goodwill, or a thrift shop.

So, while ‘the ladies’ run up a bill for a dress to be worn once, will Brad and his Dad shop for all those matching tablecloths and napkins and cumberbands and bow ties and top hats and tuxes and table placements and chair banners that Frank regrets so much not having at his wedding?

Film at elevenzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I don't know why, but I find this person creepier than the other commenters. There's something about the way he's air-quoting "women" and "the ladies" that's just skeevy.

Not that the guy randomly capitalizing every word is much better, but still.

I don't understand that Dustin. What type of mouth breather does it take to have difficulty using a debit/credit card reader?

I always seem to be in line behind someone who has trouble with a regular debit/credit card reader, never mind the new chip technology.

"I can't read what it says."
"Oops, I pressed the wrong button and have to do it over."
"I keep pressing the button but it isn't doing anything. Oh, wait there it goes."
"Oops I pressed credit when I meant debit."
"Oops I pressed debit when I meant credit."
Or the person just stands there forever, oblivious, before the cashier tells them the machine wants them to do something. Etc.

Yeah I've been thinking maybe it's a mixture of trying to make her a naif and maybe that the strip is from 1970 so it's one of those "different times" things. Regardless, that last strip took it up a few notches.

Have you read the Kratom thread in TCC? It helps with opiate addiction because it's an addictive opiate. Kind of like opium, another herbal extract that quells opiate withdrawal.

I'm thinking he's trying to draw someone doing Tai Chi which is sort of like Yoga (or so I've heard). Brooke is racist to humans as a species. We DO NOT have that many teeth in our mouths and our Jaws DO NOT unhinge to swallow prey. Also impulsive relationships like this do not end well, but then again I don't think Brooke has actually seen a real woman, let alone talked to one.

I'm pretty sure that IS Geddy Lee as I think that last pannel is a reference to that song he did with Bob and Doug McKenzie.
