He doesn’t want to die.

even Mike’s presence is distracting

Tell the kid he is bothering her and anyone by doing that.

Tell the author that just using two definitions of the same word does not make for funny.

I have heard of premature graying, but Michael having premature pattern baldness?

Lynn’sNotes: My job sometimes required me to work all hours; weekends, evenings, and sometimes, holidays. Even though Kate and Aaron understood what it meant to be working on a deadline, they often wished I’d break away from my drafting table and be mom for a while.

I’m also uncomfortable when someone stands near me while I’m cooking in the kitchen. (Don’t get in my space). :-D

I hate hovering helpers.

You know the type.

They stand next to you, invading your space, looking over your shoulder, watching you every move.

Sometimes, being most annoying by making, ever-so-slight, sounds – Of approval ? Disapproval ? Who knows ?

I had a boss like that once. I cured her by explaining every move I made in great detail. After a few minutes she left and never bothered me again!

That would drive me crazy! What do you WANT Michael? I can’t even stand it when my cat does this, looking expectant like she wants something.

some kids are annoying just by being on earth

One way to get the attention you want!

There have been odd colors and varying colorations throughout these rereleased strips. The Sunday strip before this one (where Elly fell in the toilet) originally had Elly with a soaked nightgown as it was shaded in black & white, the colorized strip did not show that so the joke was lost. There have also been odd colorings such as a road paved with purple naptha (it is almost always black). Another inconsistency has been Lawrence, whose skin has ranged from cocoa brown to fish belly white in these “new-runs”.

The colour variations in this strip reflect Canada’s muti-cultural nature,and are not there by accident. It seems that some readers of FBOFW are obsessed with colour,and point out any inconsistency they observe,as if there might be some hidden agenda involved.Ha ha,relax folks,it’s just a comic strip!

Charles Schulz called from the dead and said that back in 1987 he wanted his punchline back.

That sounds like borderline personality disorder comicsssfan.thats too bad.It must have been hard for you and your sibs growing up in that environment.Someone close to me was married to a woman like that,and believe me she was hard to be around for any length of time.she didn’t know how to behave around people,especially men.

Argybargy2. Oops,sorry,guess I hada moment of weakness there with comicsssfan.I will go downstairs right now for some self flagellation and head shaking.Thanks for the tip!

Comicsssfan. You mean like book clubs whose members are all woman,or lunch dates that woman attend,mostly with woman? Or presidential candidates with support bases that boast a disproportionate percentage of woman?OMG comicsssfan,you’ve uncovered a conspiracy, YOU MUST WRITE THAT BOOK RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

Explaining what I was doing to the boss on the CAD machine: I used the terms and accents from the instructor from Huntsville on video.

“This is a haaand hellld cursor. Now, this is a digitizer taaaaablet.”It got easier to understand when they changed out the sweet southern lady(Bless her heart), with a male instructor, the chapters turned more engineer like – not much, but a little.

We had a lot of laughs about that.

Sorry Night-Gaunt,you are right of course,but it seems that I can’t resist trying to understand comicsssfan and his motive for exposing his unfortunate childhood in all its sordid details.It’s sort of like when you go to the zoo,and you’re walking past the monkey enclosure,and all the monkeys are screaming at each other as if the bananna truck just rolled by giving out free banannas,and there they were stuck in the monkey cage unable to get their hands on those free banannas,well anyway you know what I mean right?

Oh shoot,I just realized I used the singular spelling of woman in a plural context 4 times! What a silly men I am.

Comicsssfan. Never mind.
