The Buckets by Greg Cravens for February 21, 2016
Transcript:
Hey! How's it going? Hey! Same ol' same ol'! Yeah- what did you think of the game? Argh. Listen, gotta run. Lunch? Yeah! I'll see ya! I really don't get how guys say nothing when you talk. What do you mean? Dudes marriage is better- he's walking his wife's dog, and in a hurry to get back to her, means he got rid of the Mustang he recently bought. He bet on the game and lost, and he's back on the day shift, next door to where I work. Oh. Did you really just call him dude? Yeah, well, we don't know each other's first names.

A more accurate interpretation is : I recognize your face but I have no idea who you are but I will be polite and make a couple of non-committal remarks before leaving as quickly as I can without offending you.

Ohhhh, I don’t think you guys are reading the clever writing I spent so long musing over. All the stuff Larry says can easily be inferred by listening and looking. “What did you think of the Game?” “Argh” in the drippy word balloon- He made a bet on the game and lost. See? It’s all hidden in there.

Actually, this reminds me of Sherlock Holmes explaining his deductions to Dr. Watson.
