For some goofy reason, I am reminded of the scene in WKRP in Cincinnati where Gordon Jump (the actor who played the station manager) comes in after the disastrous Thanksgiving promotion stunt of dropping live turkeys out of the traffic copter and says, “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf3mgmEdfwg)
In other words, “It seemed like a good idea at the time.”
From yesterday…. to several questions…Yes… as Paige pointed out yesterday…. this is Jane’s actual sister, Becca…who is juust a bit judgemental of her sibling… like most sisters…And Becca’s old VW van, which she obviously no longer drives…and her somewhat hapless boyfriend, or maybe just neighbor and FWB, Abbot, in his sport kilt.
Somebody asked about Beta-Jane…she’s part of the now bygone “Last Starfighter” arc…and presumably is still out in space, saving the universe.
Her name is also used by Paige, if and when she posts here.
And yes, though nobody asked… but someone will…this is also a re-run… but only 5 or 6 months away from where the strip originally left off…when it abandoned its then-current arc, and jumped back to one of Paige’s favorite stories from a few years before.
The newer arc was supposed to be resumed in a month or so… but instead, Paige had a lot of other work…including the recently released novel…and we’ve stayed in re-runs (and flashbacks inside of re-runs) for several years…
So when we get to where we left off the last time, which will probably be some time early next year, I’ll be curious to see whether Paige has found enough time in her crazy-busy schedule to take us forward into new strips..or we step back again.

Those old mini buses were death traps in accidents.

Is Jill and her sister twins? Or just my imagination or should I say fantasy.

Riding over the Pensacola Bay bridge on a windy day was fun. Car pool experience.
