Transcript:
Alex: Who could've foreseen I'd find myself in a trailer park - and happy! My life would make such a great movie! I can't believe all you're handling now, Leo - the studio job, college, the band, all your therapy... I don't know how you have the mindshare for a girlfriend - especially one as high-maintenance as me! I might as well pack my bags now. Why would you want to worry about me when you have so many challenges of your own? Why? Because it's a lot easier to manage if you're not alone! A partner's support can keep you strong! That's why! Nicely handled. Toggle: Got yourself in, f-f-figured you could walk yourself back.

If Gary’s reading this, Leo has been a great addition to the family. He is such a nice guy. Leo and Alex are perfect for each other.
BTW, re: that comment about her life being a great movie in panel 2: Alex still has a touch of her mother in her, doesn’t she?

y’all are just over-thinking this.
they are both doing well and are happy and enjoying each others company…a little love maybe with alot of understanding.

Since Leo has a service-connected disablilty, he really doesn’t have to live in trailer park with his mother.
He should have a full VA Disablity Pension.
Alex could just leave if she wanted. She doesn’t have to be there either.
That’s what Leo/Toggle meant. .
You must not be very familar with the post-Bush VA.
If only real Girlfriends were that easy to talk back after they whip themselves into a meltdown.

What Leo meant was the she’s worrying over nothing and if he gives her a minute, she’s smart enough to figure it out. It was not some veiled comment that she could leave the trailer park, especially since that part was not said out loud.

At least she didn’t ask Toggle if she looked fat.
Justice22 over 14 years ago
That’s 50% disability, Toggle has one eye left and he has a job. Good for $800-$1200 a month according to the state he lives in.

Toggle is one smart guy and he and Alex are a great couple. Keep it up, Gary.

“Suppport” and “F-f-figured.” They’re starting to talk alike.

Ilove those two.

Hmmmm. Seems like someone on here (I won’t mention who, I don’t want to embarrass them) likes to ramble on about them selves that has nothing to do with the subject of the strip. I noticed this when I first started watching before I joined.
Now, as for the strip; You GO for it, Leo. Get some!

misspelling or no misspelling, this is one of the best strips of Trudeau’s I’ve seen. Near perfection.
