PuddleGlum, what a horrible screen experience! I saw the movie opening weekend and still recall the cries of awe and delight in the audience when ENTERPRISE appeared on screen. The movies did get better I grant you, but this was a new frontier.
Hey gotta snark on this “30 seconds earlier” thing. It’s trite and steps all over the joke. Far better to reverse these panels, and stop it please MR B!
In addition to staffing concerns for Montoni’s, what irritates me here is Mindy’s smirk, the anatomically impossible rearrangement of the mouth that Batiuk so often uses to oversell a joke or an awww moment. It’s wink-wink drudge-drudge manipulation.
I really doubt it, and wouldn’t risk my car’s fine leather upholstery without a towel for safety (it’s a 2005 Hyundai but still). Then you lose the heater benefit.
As much as I love all the snark here everyday, this strip did make me laugh out loud. I think it was “lurking menace” that did it: such an uncharacteristic phrase like nobody ever said, and the dog in therapy topping the topper. I’m not saying it’s great, but this strip does work at the level of absurdity that similarly can make me chuckle at Ed’s malapropisms and puns. The trouble usually is that somebody in-strip always blunts the pun by correcting it or grimacing.
