Hot off the presses….
another one-word question from Tony….
“Relate?”
Doesn’t sound like they do, Tony….
Though I think that’s a joke….
and I don’t take it as seriously as some people here.
She’s not a shrew, and he’s not a layabout… he works from home…
he’s not just a goof-off who fails to do enough cooking and cleaning while Peg works late.
They’re very sarcastic, and enjoy poking at each other….
Elliot is so sarcastic because his parents are.
We’ve seen all three of them be affectionate with each other.
Somehow, people can say horrible stuff to be funny in real life, and in TV sitcoms, and everybody knows they’re joking…
let them tease each other in a comic strip and the criticism is piled knee high.
I think it’s because it’s in print, where we can’t hear their tone of voice or catch the nuances in their expressions.
PS to Nosirrom…..
Sorry I didn’t see that you had already posted the question the other night….
it was late and I was sleepy.
Sometimes, too, I write a lot, and people sneak in while I’m typing.
