In the late 50s and early 60s, in our tiny town in Oregon, Mrs. Rentovich, and a student who lived on the hill, exchanged ‘pleasantries’, if you could call them that, on the porch of the little mom and pop store, waiting for the school bus. Mrs. Rentovich would say, “Good morning!” to us kids, and Jason Smith would reply, “What’’s good about it?”, to which she would reply: “You’re alive, aren’t you?” Every. Stinking. Morning"!
I like the “-uh” attached to the hmph in the penultimate panel. I call it the “verbal exclamation point” and it has become very prevalent in daily speech

Good friends can survive bad moods. Sometimes the mood has to shift to the other person first, and then it goes away.
