And a carefully laid and well thought-out plan has come back to bite in in the posterior. Been there, done that.

Hockey over bachelor’s party ?

Kenny went all caps in the third panel. Did he just hit puberty?

Great going, Delray.

Next time, you may want to think things through, Delray!

Actually, having his own ice rink is teaching Kenny some grown-up skills!

Kenny has a company to run here.

Money talks. So we might guess how this will play out. Party with the junior hockey crowd!

Time to find a strip (gentleman’s) club, I guess.

I think Kenny is a bit miffed at not having his venue thought of as “grownup” enough.

I thought Kenny was in a boarding school somewhere? Anyway, assuming he goes to some school, how does he have time to manage a skating rink?

I thought Delray WANTED the bachelor party to be canceled!

You don’t always get what you want but if you try real hard to manipulate people you just might find you get nothing.

Delray sure is sending mixed signals!

What should have happened is Nicole should have told Marcus how she felt. What should have followed was him explaining that he is a laid back dude and just because he’s not sweating the details doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to get married. Not everyone goes crazy over wedding minutiae. None of this Dana getting Delray to intervene and Delray concocting this complain about the bachelor party scheme.

Haw haw. Delray’s fine plan has exploded in his face.

Now Marcus really does have a reason to think you’re a moron.

“I thought YOU canceled the strippers.”

Isn’t there’s a Playboy Club in Chicago? I have a memory while l was stationed at Great Lakes Naval Station in the seventies…

Worked for Marcus as intended, but Delray got surprised by the blowback.
