    OK, Mabel – you need to let them know at GoComics that there is more than one approach, and they took the wrong one. Now, press the “No Sale” button.

    From Nancy’s expression it looks like she thinks the questionnaire would be difficult to fill out, yet many people here in this comment page would be able to answer all those questions for Toni. Come on, saleswoman from “Cathy,” give us a challenge.

I’m likely not even going to bother reading comments any more either, since there is no hope for discussion. I’ll miss a lot of you. Bye.

    Toni shops like I do. Flips thru the rack and homes in on one item that appeals to her. My DD did almost the same thing. You just know. That said, sometimes you do have to try on a few things to make sure. And it’s true, sometimes a dress will look better on the body than on the hanger.

    I wonder if Toni finds the perfect dress on the first try. It’s possible, although (and please don’t jump on me for perpetrating a sexist stereotype) women generally check out several items of any items of clothing they wear to normal, but particularly special occasions before they make a decision. Toni might prove to be an exception to that stereotype, or just lucky for love a first sight.

    It makes sense that Toni will find a dress, her perfect dress, immediately without a lot of nonsense. It really does happen that way sometimes. (Yea, I was one of them, first place I stopped, saw the dress on someone else first, tried it on, and that was it, only dress I tried and it was perfect. Also was not a budget buster too!)

Today, I will write again, and hope that I get a personal reply. Today my focus will be on how the “Twitterization” of our community here does not really seem to make sense in regards to their goals to fight abuse from spammers.

    Indeed, Luann’s weird out of control obsession with Toni’s wedding and her dress is puzzling. I wondered if it could be related to Luann’s interest in sketching and designing things (i.e. assignment for Zebo’s class) but she became giddy the minute Toni called up to ask for help. Hopefully all this will be revealed, unless Luann is just getting weirder and more impulsive as time (and the strip) goes on… Even Nancy seemed puzzled by it all.
