Drabble by Kevin Fagan for April 22, 2023

You snooze, you lose.

Competition?

Norman doesn’t stand a chance……………….

Norm introduced Neil to Wendy. You never know what might happen.

It’s all over but the crying.

Three words, Norm: “Grow A Beard” (Ha – some of you thought a DIFFERENT third word, didn’t you?!)

Hmmm maybe a little competition will make Norman quit hemming and hawing and finally commit to that girl! He’s been wishy-washy long enough

There are some premises you do NOT touch. That is one of them.

The tension builds……*shiver* What’s a guy to do?

Her name is Norma. They started calling her Echo because she was so similar to Norm. I doubt that she will share Neil’s feelings.

The plot sickens…

panel one, take away beard and long hair and Neil and Norm look like twins

Norm, how good is your Echo Location? ☺

IMO…he’s a giant step backward, compared to Norman.

Snooze ya lose

This should get interesting.

cue the dark ambient music with discordant overtones which, although broadly tonal, is inflected with chromatic and polytonal passages representing the archetypal example of a florid, melodramatic style

OOOOO, a cliff hanger!!!!

I thought only Norm called her Echo.

Hoo boy…never fails. Neil doesn’t stand a chance, but I know Echo is gonna milk this for what it’s worth to teach our boy Norman a lesson.

Echo is in on it, to stir Norm into action and out of his obliviousness. It’s got to be.
