Well, I laughed. Mainly because it was so unexpected. I like retail well enough in general, but this is a rare sort of joke for the strip.

I've never understood reply all jokes because my whole life "reply" and "reply all" have been completely different buttons in the e-mail draft box, and even if I hit reply all by accident I would immediately be alerted to it by the huge line of addressees that would appear in the receiving box. Unless you're a complete idiot I don't see how you could send an individual reply to all the original addressees unintentionally.

Luann

Arguably, you weren't any more "ready" than he was. What you're thinking he wasn't "ready" for is beyond me, since you two weren't talking about marriage and you were the one who put the brakes on anything physical. But all that is beside the point, since you didn't break up over being "ready" anyway.

The two of you wanted different things in your lives and out of your relationship. This is thing that happens, especially at major turning points like leaving high school and entering college. It is not a matter of fault. If your breaking up was his fault for wanting an acting career, then it is also equally your fault for wanting a teaching career. Assigning fault in a situation like that is ridiculous. Pull your head out of your rear end.

Gettin' real about Luann.

I write this from the closet

It is my last day on Earth as a t-shirt

My only chance to return to this universe is reincarnation as a checked shirt

They seem so mild, those checked shirts

No one realized that the spaces between the lines are maws

As Gunther sleeps they eat away at us
Nibble, nibble, gulp

After they are done with us they will start in on him again

First his chest will sink in

Then his budding willingness to experiment will be gnawed away

There is only one hope.

Clear them from the closet. Clear their fabric from storage.

Sew t-shirts

Sew many t-shirts

Populate the world with t-shirts

At least we don�t consume you.

Luann

Not being invited to somebody else's wedding is not what he should be pissed at Luann about. He should be pissed that he did her homework for her and made a custom bridesmaid dress for her without being paid. All she provided was a sketch. (She may have bought the fabric-- comic says she "picked" it-- that's still not enough financial contribution for so little actual physical contribution.)

I love how he's outshining the list of titles gimmick.

Anyway, something to note about mordock999 is that about half of his capitalized words are bolded as well. It's really not worth the effort of reformatting his posts everytime I post them though, I feel. I'll have the rest of the usual suspects later for you guys!

Probably because it's not every word; it just seems to be mostly random. There's really no consistency to it at all.

Do you not work with people over the age of 40? Because this is a chronic, weekly problem in my life. I'm not sure what's worse though: hitting reply all by accident or using it on purpose to say "thanks" to 400+ people.
