    I think I know what the next point she is going to make is.

    This is one of the best, deepest, funniest, and sexiest comic strips I have ever read.

    Well, she tried soft selling the idea, now she’s going for the hard sell.

    I know where she is coming from; it is hard to kick the habit of being a workaholic.

    She needs to take a month off and just clear the head..Write these ideas down and then let them sit...Then get out of town for that month and go somewhere you’ve never been, but not to check out what other food establishments are doing..Go see the a national park.

    I would love to read how Gene and ML rekindled their friendship (and more) when Gene was away at college. It was hinted at during ML’s re-introduction back in 2008 but never fully explored.

    As Varnes said yesterday, “Panel 3 is the best by far.”

    Didn’t Gene get a degree in something?

    Yep. Panel three is the flip that prepares the bed-hair look that will help close the deal in panel four. He never had a chance. .And he doesn’t care.

    I think he looks a little crowded in that last panel.

    She might be open to some input from Gene.

    this me reminds me of the way my company works. they already have got the plan or the processes or the software and only after the deal is done do they want the workers the folks who will actually have to deal with things to sign on like they had a part in the decision and choices that were made. MaryLou has already made up her mind and just wants Gene to validate her plans. not exactly an equal partnership here. for the most part Gene has been a dupe in their “relationship”.

    Why didn’t they buy the Dock from pop. It was making money.

    Hmmm. Mary Lou might listen to Gene if he had a plan … A plan that was more than not think about it for a while more and just relax. What is his counter idea for his own career? What research or idea has HE been throwing around?

    It seems Mary Lou is getting flirty all of a sudden!

    She might consider going back to college for business, first, being as she didn’t do that while working for her dad and having a unplanned pregnancy. She’s way over her head on this one and will take the family down with her…

    @ladylagomorph76Nope, not preggers. Through rigorous analysis on several web sites, it was determined (and confirmed somehow) that Arlo was the one eating for two.

    Ooo Boy… there is not much you can do when your wife looks at you like in the fourth panel either… all you can do is give in…
