    She’s worried about attracting a nutcase? Um, has anyone mentioned that she IS and nutcase?

    That had better be a typewritter she’s using. There was no on-line dating service in the 70’s when this is supposed to take place.

    My guess would be that she’s writing a personals ad for the newspaper. That’s what lonely people did to meet someone before the internet.

    A keyboard isn’t that loud, must be a typewriter. “Ding!”

    that aint no typewriter with a flat keyboard like that. a typewriter in 1978 or so was big and noisy. I’m guessing it’s updated so she’s using a laptop and the internet.

    She’s got the same kind of “issues” as that nutcase with the octuplites plus 6.

    Awww, I can tell the way Connie feels. She is sooooooo lonely. She needs to be loved so badly. Mmm, I think she is going to cry a little bit. snif, snif! waaaa!

    doctortoon – I like your new icon.
    Macushlalondra and Wildmustang1262: I agree with you.

    Connie is too desperated!

    I think Doc Boy from “Garfield” is single. Does she like cow tipping?

    I would love to give her a little bit of my sweet lovin’, but I’m not sure if I want to spend out my entire life savings on her and her kid, only for her to divorce me and kick me to the curb in a fit of rage over unpaid shopping spree bills of hers, while stealing my house in a divorce proceeding, and leaving me broke, as so many men are, once they become the victim of a low-self-esteemed divorce-o-holic, who is never happy with themselves or the men they victimize. Oops! I forgot. This is a comic strip.

    Search only for a man who’ll be ‘a husband’; and yes you’ll find plenty o’ nutcases. Search for a guy whose interests and personality might make him your best friend, and you may find a soulmate, Connie! Then you’ll actually have a chance at happily ever after….

    Norman, I don’t know many women who wouldn’t put their kids first. Arceedee, right on! :)

    AssofDoom, I used a Selectra that had a flat keyboard. ? Maybe that’s what Lynn was visualizing when she drew this.

    Also, to misquote Mr. Kennedy: Ask not who will keep you company in a relationship, ask who needs your company, –you might find someone nice.

    hey thanks kfaatz! And I totally agree about women putting our kids first - it’s just about hardwired into most moms…
