Get this gal some therapy and meds — stat!!

She’s gone nuts.

If only Step Mom would join her in Motherhood. I know, I’m evil.

Fairly well has it all mapped out.

Alex has a story there – time to hit the keyboards and crank up Kickstarter! (Or Red Rascal’s literary agent.)

Jeez, I’m glad those days are over for me. Here’s a scenario when my wife was carrying our first one:Me: (coming in the door from work) “Hi, honey. How are you?”She: WAAAHHHH!!(I’m thinking, “Oh my Gawd, miscarriage”) “What’s wrong? What happened?”“You don’t love me anymore because I’m fat and ugly and pregnant.”“Aw, that’s not true. What made you think that?”“What you just said.”“Huh? I said ‘Hi, how are you.’”“Yeah, but it’s the WAY you said it!”

Seriously, Alex. Shut. Up.

I think Alex should learn to jump to the end of her imagined scenarios and then she’ll be able to chill out!

Sheeze, it sounds like Alex was doing some weed with Zonker to come up with this strange line of thinking.

Hormones.

“You don’t love me anymore because I’m fat and ugly and pregnant.”“Well, now that you mention it.”

Get that woman some ice cream! STAT !!

At least she has it all thought out in advance.

I WISH this strip was about Zonker! Where the heck is Walden Puddle?!

Toggle needs to introduce Alex to Skye’s wife.

imagination, sef-fulfilling prophesies & a culture of celebrity-worship & trophy wives, easily discarded

and moans.

It’s time for hubby to lay the loving on his girl. She needs it bad.

Actually, that joke was “How do you make a hormone?” about 50 years ago. And please don’t shout.

This reminds me of my own wife (who is not pregnant): go straight to the worst possible outcome. Without the happy ending. Whatever is happening now can only get worse and will go on forever.

I love Alex’s flights of fancy. This made me laugh out loud.

She watches too much E!

twins?

Leo is doing a great job. More admiration for the strong character GT has brought to life.

SOMEBODY GET HER A TYPEWRITER!!!While Jeff struggles to create more war porn, Alex could be creating a fresh new batch of mommy porn.EAT YOU HEART OUT, FIFTY SHADES OF GREY!!!

And you can name the babies ‘Jules’ and ’ Verne’.

The end of this story is that, like her mother and grandmother, Alex will run off to “find herself” and leave hubby with the babies. Except for Lacy and Kim. Trudeau’s women are self-centered and unlikable.

“We’ll always have Paris…”

… Marc Bolan, Kurt Cobain, Freddie Mercury, Brian Jones, Keith Moon, Jim Morrison, Sid Vicious,

Keep smiling, the insanity will pass in time.

Hah! Great punch line.

It isn’t just musicians, it happens to a percentage of people that make a lot of money and do not know what to do with it or how to handle being famous.

< joke> Apart from the ice cream, sounds like the recipe for keeping a cat happy :) < /joke>

The survivors are in Paris, helping Alex with the kids.
