C'est la Vie by Jennifer Babcock for December 11, 2012

Bush?

Rude, obnoxious, misogynistic, oblivious, inappropriate all work individually or in some combination. Or simply put a$$hole.

Some of these could also apply to Mona. And I don’t think Michael is a bad person. I think he’s autistic or Asperger’s, and has no idea how he should act. He needs some serious social skills training so he can learn not to come across as creepy.

Michael has what most women look for in a man – a steady paycheck and an easy-to-remember credit card PIN.

I won’t obsess over Michael’s motivation (or “why”), but he is rude and creepy enough to make people uncomfortable around him. I could unleash my (street-) wordhorde against him, but that’s not necessary; Donna and Mona have got off to a fast start with such language in panel 3.

I bet they’re getting attracted to the guy now that he’s got a girlfriend.

Although I always thought of Michael as a little creepy, I always chalked it up to likely Aspergers. I know a couple of folks affected by this, and it seems pretty similar.

Are those horns in Panel 1?

Uhm, did I miss something? Where the hell are all of you getting this “he’s been rude” crap?Michael’s always been nice to these two, even AFTER Donna openly insinuated that he looked like a would-be-rapist that would take advantage of drunk Mona.

If anything, the girls have been horrible to Michael and all because he’s not so appealing, looks wise.

These comments really say a lot about the people posting them, and none of it’s good.

Mona calling anyone an a$$hole is a classic case of the pot and the kettle.

I’m still trying to figure out why they can say turd but not a$$hole?

Careful, girls – it takes one to know one…

Forbush man? I think her hair looks better
