Transcript:
TJ: Check this: a newly enlarged pantry to store food for 3! Toni: why are those shelves labeled? TJ: Oh, that's space for our personal snacks. Brad: Why is mine so big?
You know on this arrangement that TJ has fashioned they (the three) had agreed on this arrangement, and apparentlly per some reading I have done on millennials these kinds of arrangements are common as a way to save money. Expenses have increased faster than wages have so rooming has talking on a new perspective. I don’t know if this is what is being followed here, but I thought I would just add that comment.
I never noticed the size difference in the pantry. I surely didn’t see an insult to either Brad or Toni there. I did notice that there is at least on more storage area below the three marked ones.
Argythree, i recall there was a NYT article decades ago in which a number of top chefs were asked what their guilty pleasures were. They all had them: from certain premade snacks or packaged cookies, to canned soups and packaged foods. It was too long ago for me to recall details but being able to cook well did not stop each from having some treasured far-from-gourmet food pleasures.
note that TJ’s shirt front is also slightly flatter in panel two. No, I think it’s just an inadvertent drawing difference made by Greg without intent. Neither guy is ’sucking it in".
Since Broni tied the knot, this strip has truly jumped the shark. And TJ has got to go. His heart is in the right place, but his welcome has been worn out.
Brad isn’t fat and he isn’t out of shape either. He recently passed the fire fighter course and that shows he can pass a physical fitness test. Sure, he isn’t the Rock, however, that kind of body doesn’t portray fitness. The Rock is a body builder. Have you ever looked at NBA players? They don’t all look like LBJ. I think Brad was drawn “young” earlier. Many young men don’t truly develop until after the age of 18. It’s pretty common, even for athletes, to change quite a bit after 18.

Is no one going to mention the fact that Brad is sucking in his tummy in the second panel?

At least they do not say “His”, “His”, and “Hers”.

It almost seems like the “redecorating” is one long troll by TJ….

Looks like TJ is molding nearly every aspect of their home lives.

Poor Brad, all that work to lose weight and bulk up, only to be insulted by his SO-CALLED “best friend”

More importantly….Toni is now the woman of the house….she should have some say so as to how her kitchen should be….but then again size matters….lol

If there were sitcom laughter in today’s strip, I think it would likely be the canned kind…

The chuckle factor has dropped dramatically in Luannville lately. Can we move on?

I am slow so please tell me why this is okay with Toni? Any other newlywed woman would be having a first class hissyfit!

For being “newly enlarged” it still doesn’t look too big.

Boring. Seriously. Who cares about the house. And not a joke in sight.

Brad is a big snacker, TJ a medium snacker, and Toni a light snacker according to the shelves. Ok.
.
Hmm. Well….. uh, nothing more to add…. not really that much showing today to talk about.
fb5119ab over 7 years ago
I get the feeling that Toni will straighten out a bunch of stuff in the near future.
Code the Enforcer over 7 years ago
I don’t think anyone has said, but anyone else notice the ‘knowing grin’ on Toni’s face right when Brad says, “Why is mine so big?” …
.And I’m referring to the SNACK SHELF here! If you’re thinking of something else … just quit it, will ya’?! Happy Thursday! :)

The wedding strip from December 11th got only 16 more comments than the toilet paper discussion got on January 3rd.

Stereotypes are kinda boring
Surely not as boring as monotypes … I am a smart-ass today. sorry.
jayaresea over 7 years ago
why are the cupboards empty? they aren’t just moving in…
Airman over 7 years ago
I think that’s the same question Toni asked him on their wedding night.
Sisyphos over 7 years ago
Do you really have to ask, Brad?
Toni’s is very small.
Hint, hint.
Of course, you will both have more space once TJ moves out!
HINT, HINT!
Luanaphile over 7 years ago
Time for “the reveal”
1) Toni’s shelf: one 6oz container of glutin free health crackers: 10 calories
2) TJ’s shelf: truffle stuffed escargot, $25 cabernet, 15 year old manchego cheese
3) Brad’s shelf: 75 Snickers Bars, one 3 year old deep fried twinkie, a pound of pork rinds, and a case of Bud light.
