Transcript:
Jeff: I'm not special forces. Melissa: What? Jeff: Special forces. In case that's what you were thinking because of the beard. Melissa: I don't ask. Jeff: I'm CIA. That's all I can say. Melissa: I doubt you're even allowed to say that. Jeff: Um... say what? I didn't say anything! Melissa: Relax. It's not as if I care.

It sure smells that way, but she is a far more favorable character than he is. And she’s sure playing Ms. Aloof.
I like how twit draws attention to his non-existent beard.

Hey, maybe the chopper will lurch mid-air and she’ll accidentally bump him out while he’s unbuckled and flexing.
And then he can get captured by the mujaheddin, who do bestial things to him!

He has a beard? I thought that was dirt.

Has Jeff reproduced?
No?
Good. Then his getting offed in this mission will strengthen the gene pool.
(Not that I really expect GT to kill off this character.)

Not a good way to pick her up. He should have said that he’s nervous of going into the badlands.

The only other character in this comic remotely as useless as this jerk is JJ – and she’s his half-sister! How did Joanie manage to have two such idiotic kids?
Oh, wait a minute, JJ’s true love Zeke is really off the charts. He’s as self-centered as Jeff but he’s a thief too.

As to the comment yesterday that Duke might be Jeff’s father, how can you even imagine that Duke could have seduced Joany??

JAD: “Adult maturity”? Start showing some, please.

Stebon: am I to take it from your post that the purpose of the war has devolved to the point where “success” is measured by whether or not the soldiers have good morale? That sounds mighty touchy-feely to me…

Someone tell me what a pornographic word is.

She had to travel, back, half way around the earth, to get tied up with this nest of losers, again!!!

I don’t get why people hate Jeff SO MUCH. I mean, he’s obviously a dope, but I haven’t seen anything to suggest that he’s got bad intentions. If anything, his biggest problem is that he’s a victim of war, which has caused a skewered world view.
Which is NOT to say that I’d wish him on any woman, but today’s comments are unusually nice about him, and that’s really saying something, because they aren’t nice at all.

They are going to go down in the desert and have to survive together after the helicopter crew are killed in the crash.

They meet at last… .

she’s too withdrawn to imagine that any man her age would have an interest in her “that way”. he’s probably a virgin, so they have an interesting parity.
I believe in love - love transforms…..
