   Elly, that was NOT a compliment!

   Eww, and yet guys like that think they’re just so witty and endearing. Very sad.

   Is that the insufferable jerk Ted? Sure sounds like him.

   And why doesn’t John set the record straight and shut this guy up??

   To OpenWings: Elly knows it’s not a compliment, that’s why she says it’s insulting.
   As for Ted being full of wit, I could think of another rhyming word to substitute but can’t say here because of the bleep factor.
   Yes, John should say something or risk embarrassment by having Elly have to say something on her own defense to his best buddy. He’s been married long enough to know better.

   John has really been getting on my nerves these past few strips.

   Hope John begins to evolve soon. He’s acting more like a jerk than I remember. And Ted is a creep. Unfortunately, there are too many guys like that around. Can you say Arrested Development? They never get out of early adolescence.

    John is not the culprit in this particular strip, Ted is, if that’s Ted, I sure hate to think there are two guys as stupid and asinine as that. John has not been given the chance to respond. I hope tomorrow he puts this gakhead loser in his place. What a jerk. Go home to mommy, Ted!

    Remember what happened with the real-lifre “John” (can’t recall his actual name) and why Lynne is single these days.

    Why doesn’t Elly tell him where he can stick it, instead of just having thought bubbles about it? She seems to bristle at sexism internally, but she isn’t confrontational about it to the jerks that perpetuate it. She shouldn’t let them get away with saying things like that without putting them in their place.

    There was a time I felt like there must be something wrong with me because I wasn’t a typical man.
    Now I’m pretty proud of it, my lady friend appreciates it.

    Some of us guys kind of enjoy the banter … and also have a hard time telling a “friend” the truth of a situation.
    Just telling it like it is!

    Teds a jerk.

    Why did John tell Ted or whoever he is that Elly is his wife?! If I were in John’s shoes, I would punch that person’s stomach and tell him to keep his mouth shutting up. Elly is sub assistant to help out with John in his dentist office while the assistant takes on the vacation. Sheeshhh! Duh!

    The guy (may be John’s Dr. friend, Ted) already knows that Elly is John’s wife, Wildmustang.

    You think professional men should behave more maturely. Ted’s behavior was juvenile, like a high school boy.

    Hey algurka thanks for the heads-up ;o)

    I guess it’s what you’d call a backhanded compliment.

    Just figured I’d make the point anyway just in case any other ‘Teds’ dropped by to read the comics. Maybe they might have learnt something. Er, cough, cough

    John doesn’t look too happy in panel 2…he knows Ted’s being a jerk. I hope he’s going to chew Ted out and comfort Elly…if he’s smart.

    I think she’s so cute when her eyes are just little dots.

    @Doctor Toon, good for you, you’re MY kind of man also, I bet there could be a whole bunch of women standing in line!

    Does any other man care to claim he’s like that too (i.e. as “non-Ted like” as possible)?

    I remember hating Ted the first time I read this series. It’s coming back to me… this part I could well do without…

    Earl, YOU’RE fired… sheesh!
