By John Zakour (writer) & Scott Roberts (artist)
Maria is a kid who sees things her own way- and expects the world to see it her own way too! Her friend Joey is more practical. He helps keep her grounded, though that’s as easy as handling a Thanksgiving balloon in a hurricane. Sue is special and she knows it- better than anyone. She’s writing her autobiography now, but she’ll live it later. Bob takes things slower. Ms. Payne is their teacher- she enjoys her job, she truly does. She’d enjoy it even more without the students.

We don’t know that that’s the case. Maria sees the media image of hot guys and can’t compare here Dad to them.

Yeah, because let’s face it, a guy who’ll stick around, help raise the child, acknowledge and fulfill his responsibilities, what a loser, what a geek, what a bottom-feeder. Nope, not at all like those elite, hot guys who have umpteen children by different women, pay nothing for child support, yep, those guys are the winners all women should want!

I like this strip. It’s like a female Calvin.

You just described the man in Wisconsin who has fathered 9 children by 6 women, owes about $100,000 in child support, and was recently ordered by a judge not to have any more children. Obviously there are several women who are attracted to this kind of man.

I think it’s really awesome how you guys communicate with your readers. Your strips are great and your comments put it over the top. Keep up the good work.

Well, there might be an age difference there, though it’s hard to say for sure since the skin tone is not coming through in the strip.

@comicsssfan
???? Is that in response to someone’s comment and I missed the connection? Age difference? Skin tone?

I misunderstood. But some people do regret marrying.

I avoid those types like the plague!!
I regretted my first marriage which technically lasted 2 years. The only good thing I got out of it is my son. Second marriage is still going for almost 32 years.

Again- this is just Maria’s innocent misreading of the situation.
Too young to know about real love, she just figures women should go for hot guys like the ones she sees int he media.

So I guess Maria’s mom was so desperate to marry someone she can have kids with. I don’t blame her.

No that was just Maria’s interpretation.
