    For a performance artist, she does a lousy job of holding on to her audience.

    I guess that’s why she is talking to herself.

    And it gets even more complicated—- as I recall, JJ was also Honey’s room mate in college and Zeke also used to manage Duke’s estate before Duke “softened up the room” with a Luger after coming back from somewhere (PRC?) and shot Zeke.

    I think Joanie’s husband was Clint— and he really didn’t miss Joanie after she absconded with Mike and Mark (on a BMW, a point my late brother used to make). I also seem to recall that JJ was impressed with Mike being on a motorcycle road trip, even if it was in a sidecar.

    Mike better get his attorney busy on a restraining order, ’cause the camera is still rolling.

    “Self-involved and grandiose” I imagine this is the only time we’ll see JJ saying something truthful about herself.

    She doesn’t mean it. Mike knows it’s another of her performances.

    I used to swear that my late unlamented Ex-#1 was the model for JJ’s character. Self-absorbed, grandiose, and caring for nothing but her own needs summed up my ex perfectly.

    In real life, there are people that get crazier as they get older. I know a few of them. I think she’s that kind of person.

    Depressing. Just thoroughly depressing. As has been pointed out, she may have visitation rights. The betrayal, though, has pretty much destroyed Mike and JJ’s relationship.

    Maybe she wanted to be like Tom Sawyer and attend her own funeral.

    Always remember that you’re unique, just like everybody else.

    Remember, once J.J. is out of the picture, he meets Kim. Even Zeke thought Kim was a real babe. Mike is OK

    Being unique is not necessarily good in itself.

    while JJ is pretty bad in these strips, remember that her mother (Joanie) disappeared without a word when she was a young child. She came in search of her mother years later, and met Mike through her. She’s probably 8-10 years younger than Mike.

    To be fair and honest, JJ didn’t have a good family life either. She had an abusive father and a mother that demonstrated unfaithfulness and left the family as well.

    The Glass Castle is both a memoir and a movie written by Jeanette Walls whose mother was very much like J.J.

    Difference between a bad mime and a bad performance artist?

    A mime is a terrible thing to waste.
