Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for January 05, 2012
Transcript:
Alex: Don't worry, guys. I'm not getting ahead of myself. Obviously, Leo has to be on board. I've been trying to think of the best way to propose. It's got to be a moment he'll never forget - special, magical! I've even considered commissioning a performance art piece from Mom. Mike: Why? Are you on drugs? Alex: Be nice, Dad. She could use the money.

Have a niece who is a lot like Alex. Developed an “adult” relationship with her parents after their divorce and refers to all the relatives by first name instead of uncle or aunt.

I hope Trudeau doesn’t start publishing new ones before this arc finishes. We’ll have to go back to last January to find out how this ends.

I remember back when all of this was farmland, and the men did the proposing….

Ah, come on guys. You know that the women do the choosing.Men CAN persuade women for one-nighters. We share ability to lust, etc…but when it comes to longer-term relationships, the nest building and long-term responsibilities, women are pretty picky.
Maybe a young woman who has kids ‘on her own’…she got swept up but was smart enough to know that Mr Right Now is a remarkably poor longterm partner. Mr Goodfeel doesn’t want to work and get dragged down by growing up…
I guess I’ve been “Mr. Wrong” sometimes. Maybe I should make a T-shirt and wear it around…“MR. WRONG…”

A is just in love with the idea of the marriage ceremony, the prettiy dresses, the center of all attention, etc. She’d do better to just use Ken and Barbie for several years (if necessary) until she grows up.

Since this is a rerun, last year’s comments still should be fresh.
