I hope the brought a big safety net.

Complaints from the neighbors already?

The cops will probably arrest Mark.

’Sitting out on HER roof? Separate buildings? She hates he husband that much?

I hope the idiocy of the time this strip came out is past. But…

[nerd alert] On ‘Jessica Jones’ Carrie Moss’s character went through a gay divorce. Especially fun to watch on Disney Plus.

I’ll never understand disowning your child for being gay. Makes no sense to me (And no, I don’t want people to explain it to me. Many have tried, all have failed). This is your child, not your property. You don’t get to decide their lives. You just have to be there to support them, teach them right from wrong (the NON-religious way!), and hope they don’t grow up to be a criminal. Even if all they grow up to be is a burger flipper at Burger King, they didn’t fail you. They are living life as THEY see fit. Family is supposed to love and support, not mold to a second you. That’s just….stupid!

Hang in there Mark!

What a lovely view that would be. The newest Warhol, quarry by candlelight.

Can’t blame her but don’t jump just disown him.

I wanted to get married at the Flying M ranch near Yamhill, Oregon but she said no. Maybe next time.

Rev Rick is having his own little crisis right now. Hope he pull out of it in time to support Mark with his.

Mark asked Scot to officiate not because Scot’s a Christian (Catholic, specifically) but despite it, because he’s a friend.

Hmm, maybe a quick ceremony on the roof before Mom gets down. It might not make the evening news. :)

She was lucky to escape Mark’s Dad. I hope he’s paying a huge divorce settlement and maintenance.

“Sorry, it’s been reserved for a Doctor Who shoot.”

It’s gotten better.
