Scary Gary by Mark Buford for December 06, 2024

Not the best pick up line.

Leo is being unusually helpful.

He should have turned the other cheek.

Never thought I’d agree with Leo on anything, but…

You’ve been physically attacked. Abused. Assaulted. Don’t sue (yet), go to the press. Make signs and get a bull horn. Invent a slogan and a down trodden minority. You’ll have it made! Oh, wait, you assaulted her with unwanted expression of your desires. Never mind.

Old habits die hard.

No that pickup line will work, you just have to be in a Goth Bar first.

i’ve used that line before

Show her the ring first.

Oy! As if Leo is any better.

It was the misuse of “relinquish” (which means “to surrender, give up, or turn over” something) that earned the slap. If he’d said “I’d like you to relinquish all your blood to me” she might have tried to let him down easy.

She slapped him for inappropriate use of the word “relinquish.”

Must be that time of the month.

Gary’s off the wagon!

Love the way his hair is sticking up in the last panel. Kind of like Don Knotts. :)

Open mouth, take out foot…

He had her up to the bride part.

I do not think “relinquish” means what Gary thinks it means!

Gary also needs a dictionary.

Mr Subtle….
