A Lazy Day

Today’s For Better or For Worse strip provided some good snarking opportunities. But first I had to resolve a few issues with the Candace and Rudy relationship and Howard. qnjones went back to the strips involving Candace and Rudy from February, 2003 and the Auntie Roo shop robbing sequence. At the end of that sequence, Rudy tells Liz that he has decided to stop shopping for characteristics of his perfect mate, and he has chosen Candace. That was the last part of the character development for them as a couple in the strip, except that the Liz monthly letters say they did their year-long backpacking trip through Europe and then settled in Toronto and they showed up in a summer strip this year (the one where Liz goes to a party at a cabin). Given this level of involvement, I decided to make Candace the one who is not settled on marriage between the 2 of them and the one to be interested in Howard as a part of their relationship. This would make the most sense to me.

The rest of today’s postings was all my characters taking turns taking shots at towel-folding and then a lovely lead-in to snarking the Kenny Roger’s The Gambler lines used by John Patterson in today’s strip from Adrianne_p. It was a nice lazy day.

My kids are back in school tomorrow, assuming the Mrs. passes the verdict that my daughter is well enough to go back. I think the Foobiverse kids must have another week off. Tomorrow’s strip shows Liz with her first hangover of 2006, but second in the last year. I wonder if she is developing a drinking problem.
