It's a verbal contract with no goods involved. The payback timeline can be reasonably inferred without needing to be stated. Use of white Monopoly money is not reasonable substitute and is evidence of breach of contract.

poo poo like this is why I'm so glad my manager didn't really care about add-on numbers the one job I worked that had add-ons. His attitude was more "Did you sell some? Great! Didn't sell any? That's okay."

The best was when we were supposed to sell magazine subscriptions, because that's what people come to a video game store to buy.

Men are too stupid to differentiate between friendship and sexual attraction. It's the woman's fault if the man gets confused and tries something inappropriate because the woman should know that men have the self-restraint of a toddler and it's her responsibility to manage that.

Sexism hurts both sexes.

Not likely. The jock dude already shows signs of not taking "No" for an answer, not that I think Evans is going to go for a date rape angle.

Yeesh, you two! High school seniors and college freshmen all over the world have figured this poo poo out! If an exclusive long distance relationship isn't something you want to go for right now, put the relationship on hold for a year or however long it takes for Wilbur to have his amazing adventures and then when he gets back, reassess and see if you still want to be together. Be adults. Geeze.

I don't have a problem with the guy, or with his assertiveness. I am talking about him in the context of a storyline where the writer is potentially trying to "teach" us that it's impossible for boys and girls to be friends without somebody "getting confused" or wanting romance.

Quill or Gunther to the rescue of the fair maiden after jock won't take no for an answer? Maybe both to the rescue, leaving her stuck in a pathetically contrived love triangle?

Or maybe it'll just fizzle out and not go anywhere and we'll transition to storylines involving the characters we actually like in this comic, such as

What is Wilbur supposedly running away from? What responsibilities does he even have? He's got the easiest job in the world (and he's letting Mary do half of it) and an adult daughter who can look after herself. That's it.

Exactly. I thought maybe I had missed something, but no, they're just casually dating. He isn't running out on his family, or his fiance, or his live-in girlfriend. Tommy isn't his child, or his step-child, just the adult son of the woman he's seeing casually. He isn't delaying some joint plans he has with her either, like getting married, or buying a house together, or starting a family. If they have some sort of deeper connection here it sure didn't show up on the page.

The natural state of a Super-Fun-Pak Comic is in a full page with several others. This may be a filler one or something that's less funny without context.

"The more things change, the more they stay the same" really is true. It's a sort of well known fact by this point, I'd imagine, but gladiators in Rome actually sponsored commercial products and had action figures and poo poo. Human society is pretty predictable.
