Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
To OpenWings: Elly knows itâs not a compliment, thatâs why she says itâs insulting.
As for Ted being full of wit, I could think of another rhyming word to substitute but canât say here because of the bleep factor.
Yes, John should say something or risk embarrassment by having Elly have to say something on her own defense to his best buddy. Heâs been married long enough to know better.
Hope John begins to evolve soon. Heâs acting more like a jerk than I remember. And Ted is a creep. Unfortunately, there are too many guys like that around. Can you say Arrested Development? They never get out of early adolescence.
John is not the culprit in this particular strip, Ted is, if thatâs Ted, I sure hate to think there are two guys as stupid and asinine as that. John has not been given the chance to respond. I hope tomorrow he puts this gakhead loser in his place. What a jerk. Go home to mommy, Ted!
Why doesnât Elly tell him where he can stick it, instead of just having thought bubbles about it? She seems to bristle at sexism internally, but she isnât confrontational about it to the jerks that perpetuate it. She shouldnât let them get away with saying things like that without putting them in their place.
Why did John tell Ted or whoever he is that Elly is his wife?! If I were in Johnâs shoes, I would punch that personâs stomach and tell him to keep his mouth shutting up. Elly is sub assistant to help out with John in his dentist office while the assistant takes on the vacation. Sheeshhh! Duh!
I guess itâs what youâd call a backhanded compliment.
Just figured Iâd make the point anyway just in case any other âTedsâ dropped by to read the comics. Maybe they might have learnt something. Er, cough, cough

Elly, that was NOT a compliment!

Eww, and yet guys like that think theyâre just so witty and endearing. Very sad.

Remember what happened with the real-lifre âJohnâ (canât recall his actual name) and why Lynne is single these days.

Some of us guys kind of enjoy the banter ⊠and also have a hard time telling a âfriendâ the truth of a situation. Just telling it like it is!

The guy (may be Johnâs Dr. friend, Ted) already knows that Elly is Johnâs wife, Wildmustang.

Hey algurka thanks for the heads-up ;o)

I think sheâs so cute when her eyes are just little dots.

@Doctor Toon, good for you, youâre MY kind of man also, I bet there could be a whole bunch of women standing in line!
Does any other man care to claim heâs like that too (i.e. as ânon-Ted likeâ as possible)?
I remember hating Ted the first time I read this series. Itâs coming back to me⊠this part I could well do withoutâŠ
