Were her initials LB?

Such a smooth talker, Zeke is.

Because JJ has such clean hands when it comes to marital flings.

In the (thankfully few) Sunday strips featuring those two losers, Zeke’s hair has turned white, but he still wears that stupid hat!

In fact, the only time I saw him without it was years later, when he and JJ crashed Alex’ engagement party by posing as bartenders.

This story arc seems to be ending very soon, and on to new material!!!

“Marry me so that I may cheat on you with impunity.”

If you wonder why Alex calls him “Uncle Stupidhead”…

Mike’s comment to Alex was spot on…

“Don’t worry sweetheart — You have to remember who’s doing the asking.”

I can feel Alex off set smiling…

Women say they want honesty, but they actually don’t.

Wrong answer, Zeke

Do. Not. Marry. This. Guy.

Let us try to be positive. A one-night stand will give Zeke an opportunity to test his immunity against STDs.

But is it really a screw-up if she’s still there for you? What’s the down-side to the situation that makes it a screw-up?

And if a tree falls in the forest … (No need to go there. I already know the answer.)

“AITA?” “Yes!!”

“What made you think about marriage?”

“Your daughter griped about us not being married and I saw her point. Smart kid.”

Well, at least he’s transparent…absolutely moronic but transparent

And Alex sees light at the end of the tunnel….

This does not bode well for their marriage.

“Any more than you mean to me.”

WAY in the future when Alex was first going off to college(MIT),JJ was ticked she didn’t choose HER school(Georgetown) and itshowed the the hostility between JJ&Alex never will change that much

Uncle Stuiphead is a real ladies man

Almost no one is perfect, but Stupidhead really does seem to be a perfect pillock

so, the truth comes out. He really is a sleaze.

“Hypothetically speaking of course….”

I was friends with a couple, both jointly and individually, for the many years they lived together. After they married, it didn’t last two years. The only reasons to get married are legal, especially where children are involved. Everything else is fantasy.

And people on here saying Alex was wrong. Really? She’s spot on about this POS.

Zeke’s flings are mostly wishful thinking. Not that he doesn’t try, but he doesn’t have many takers.

One screw up is all it took to end my parent’s marriage

I’m even more sure that he wouldn’t mean a thing to her!

Alex can relax now.

Zeke living up to his nickname.

Ready the ejection function on Zeke’s Lazy-Boy.

Whoever “she” would end up being, I’m pretty sure the only thing she’d care about is cash up front!

Keep talking uncle stupid head…
