C'est la Vie by Jennifer Babcock for July 23, 2010

Mona, if you want it, order it.

Mona’s beginning to get the look, and Raoul’s beginning to feel the wrath…. Panel 3 expressions are a priceless study!

I agree with margaritem

As I said yesterday

….grrrr…baring her teeth

There’s the look we all know and love.

Desert him!

This new spammer is sneaky. It’s pulling lines from other people’s posts…

Well, at least it’s not 50 lines long.

Not wanting to take Raouls’ side - ‘cause hes a J@g— He could’ve run outta $$, Good recovery would be to ‘share’ a dessert - more romantic…..and cheaper.

Still really like the drawing style in these strips. Are these from old sketches, or are they, “I gotta be quicker and get some work done on my dissertation.” sketches?

If Mona has to get by on just her salad, she’ll make sure that Raoul gets his just deserts…

I suspect that Jen is as painstaking (or nearly so) in making these “sketches” look the way she wants them to as she is with the regular strips. There may be sketches of these sketches at some point in the preparation chain…

I’m in agreement Doctor Toon.

Although the drawings are black and white, I’m thinking that Raoul has brown eyes.

Bear in mind, he’s very young.

I wouldn’t want MY romantic sensibilities judged according to what they were when I was 16…

She’s sabotaging herself. No need to be angry at Raoul.
