    I thought about dating Catherine-Zeta Jones, but then she ran off and married some old fart. Speaking of old farts- HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GT!!!

    Cricket? Is that the insect or the British colonial pastime? I’d love to see Zipper married to a spiny-legged insect of medium size.

    My problem is when someone I think about dating thinks about dating me.

    No girl, no job, no ambition – if Zipper’s rich parents weren’t paying his tuition he’d be a BUM!

    Is it possible…is it just within the realms of the imagination…are Zip and the Red Baron…gay?

    I like where this strip is going.

    Hey, go ask Uncle Zonker for advice.

    I’ll chip in, but I gotta say… that guy is kind of Steinbeckian. There’s already another Donate on his site for his mom’s house fire. I’m just hoping the coffin doesn’t get washed downstream in a sudden torrential rain.

    P.S. here’s the link to Pab’s current crisis. LINK

    Because he didn’t want her writing a song about him after they inevitably broke up?

    These rich spoiled know-nothing kids are REALLY full of beans.

    “I’m in love but I’m lazy…” the Beatles skewered guys like this a long time ago.

    All you have to do is circulate, get some names…check for possibles…go thru the names and meet and see who’s good and who needs some time and warm up…pick and choose.

    Warm some up slowly, some you can pick and eat, like ripe ready veggies or fruit…others need prep. Take a cooking course…and apply basics to prep. Bring to boil slowly, etc…

    Lazy dumbums who spend more time with the hypnomachines…you know, also called eye-candy electronics? don’t mate much. Male and female alike. Just another stumbling block on Love’s True Path.

    I find today’s strip to be a bit prophetic. I suspect, sadly, there are millions of idle, jobless, and dateless young men doing exactly what Jeff and Zipper are doing – wasting their lives, sitting around playing video-games and fantasizing. ’Unfortunately, this type of behavior, can sometimes spawn the sort of individuals responsible for the Aurora or Columbine shootings.

    Pretty big jump to your conclusion there, Linguist. Gazillions of young men waste their precious lives in front of video game screens without ever shooting anyone in the real world.

    Rascal, right! Had that funny feeling…

    And I bet just as many sign up to the army and go and shoot up people in Afghanistan and Iraq, where nobody’s counting.

    The qualifying word was “sometimes”. And I confess that the original purpose of my comment was regarding the futility of such an existence, not the violence – which came as an after-thought, since yesterday’s tragedy was on my mind.
