In Security by Bea R. for May 01, 2019

He must be a hardcore masochist.

That’s an argument that is hard to debate.

Odd to see the duplex in a straight-on view.

That should read. Be happy with what you have: ME… Or else!

The look on his face in the last panel is that of a man who realizes there is no escape from his fate.

Figures Sedine makes this about herself, if she could she’d rename the comic: “Sedine: Beauty, Love, and Tragedy”.

Sam has been presumably planning this for at least a few months and this was the extent. Well what did I expect? Gabby is the brains on this strip after all. XD

At least Sedine’s not mad at him, in fact they seem closer. Kickin’ some tail must make Sedine frisky! ;D

Did she just put a curse on him?

This is wise advice…almost. I get Sam doesn’t like the idea of a relationship built on a lie (and let’s be honest: Sedine’s also just enjoying the show and doesn’t want it to end), but they’re both idiots and in the end this will work out.

Those are not mutually exclusive, are they?

This is your fault – said the girl who set up this charade in the first place. Okay, Sedine – a little explanation, please…

Sedine, Sedine

Our whip-ass Queen

Hubbs and Sam were busted.

Nurse wound and bruise

Naught left to lose

Sam’s not to be trusted.

To spill the beans

Know what it means

To break one’s word to wife.

Sweet match-maker

Her moniker

The best part of Sam’s life.

Ok so it is a dress. I thought it was a nightie with tights for the past three days.

A Sedine in the hand is worth…..

It’s nice of Sedine to hug Sams Ice pack for him.

Especially since she is the reason he needs an ice pack.

Sam is just as confused in panel two as he is in panel four.

He wanted the big cake, remember?

I think some sort of destruction would’a happened.

There are times when I would be happy to be Sam, except when Sedine goes all Clo-Chi 1.0.

I still like the idea that Hubbs knows (or at least strongly suspects), but so long as he can keep the idea that Al is a guy in his mind he won’t collapse into a puddle of abject terror. Eventually, he’ll keep in his mind that Al and Ellie are the same, and he felt so comfortable with Al, so Ellie won’t frighten him anymore. Much. Maybe a little.

Anyway, I hope.

Okay, Sam, back to square one. You need a plan that doesn’t originate anywhere near Sedine. And work is not good either, since Roy is there and would snitch on you. So first step, find a safe place to talk to Hubbs.

It’s moments like this that the comic strip’s name is particularly appropriate. How does Hubbs knowing the truth about “Al” threaten Sedine’s relationship with Sam? Is she that insecure? (If so, you would think she’d be the first to want Hubbs & Ellie together…)

Slipping a bit into Harlequin Romances, are we?

If they have not figured it out by now, they will never figure it out absent some outside action…
