Maybe J.J. can introduce Mark to some of her friends in the theatre and arts communities.

Is there a way to do a virtual test?

Great euphemism from J.J.

Why’s she so tentative today? In yesterday’s strip she said she’d known it for years.

Mark needs to run it up the flag pole and see if anyone salutes.

“Have you field tested it?” “No. A dead man came to me in a dream and told me.”

At least that is better than the question a weirdly large number of people ask, “So you a pitcher or catcher?” or “Are you the guy or the girl?”

Well, here’s a test, Mark. In your entire life have you ever been physically attracted to a man?

Let JJ run around naked (it wouldn’t be the first time) and see what kind of response Mark has.

He has had a moustache for some time now

So Mike and JJ are leading Mark into it?

So, is JJ proposing a Live field test, or just watching some Porn?

Just maybe J.J. is asexual. Has no interest in sex.

if you are not sure – you are not straight

For almost 50 years I have known many colleagues and close friends who are/were gay. Those who discussed it said they knew by age 5-7 that they liked the same sex, just as I knew I liked the opposite. Never knew one who said they were just too busy to notice till they were well into adulthood.

I have to remember these are reruns; Mark’s hair is brown instead of gray, and J.J. is Mike’s wife, not Kim.
