Transcript:
Jazmine: I don't think I'm pretty. Who would want to marry me? Do you think I'm pretty, Huey? Huey: Uh huh, sure...whatever you said... Jasmine: Really!? You think I'm pretty? No one ever said I was pretty before. I guess we'll be getting married then! Huey: Whoa...what was that!? Jazmine: Oh, Huey! You're so wonderful. I'll always remember how great you are. You'll make a perfect husband. We'll play house and stuff... Huey: Excuse me!? Jazmine: But wait...you don't like playing house, do you? How can we be together if we don't share interests. Huey: Um, I'm confused. Jazmine: We're having problems, Huey. We have lifestyle differences. I don't think it's going to work out... Huey: Um, but... Jazmine: Oh well, we can still be friends. Bye!! Riley: Yo, what was that about? Huey: If it was a foreshadowing of grown-up relationships, I'd like to stay a kid for a long time...

Amen, Huey, amen.

Teenage girls can take you on that roller coaster, but I’ve found that actual adult women don’t (at least not the one that I’ve been with for the last 40+ years).

‘Fraid that’s what relationships are like, Huey…. least in your teens and twenties.Course, since you’re a) a comic-strip character and b) your strip is in permanent repeats, you need never worry about growing up.

I do not think the three people in today’s strip are yet teenagers

This wouldn’t be such a problem if people (especially young girls) didn’t learn about relationships from what they see on TV
