    Elizabeth snaps him back into the harsh world of reality by saying, “School starts next week!!” Oh no! School! How will Michael ever think about Martha while he is at school, where Martha will be 5 days of the week the same time Mike is at school?

    So is Michael dreaming about kissing Martha, or did he actually do it in a scene not shown?

    Martha looks topless in the first panel. There’s a hint of sleeve hem but there’s no waist hem unless it lines up right where the bikini hip line is. There’s a spine line so it lines up more to her being topless. Yesterday Mike’s blue shirt had two stripes on each shoulder so I think they were supposed to be two colored stripes but the colorist colored Mike’s shirt in all blue. Now Martha’s shirt looks nonexistent. I am not sure who does the coloring but this person really needs to go.

    Lynn’s Comments:The whole time the “Michael and Martha” theme ran in the strip, my son was asked if it was true; if he was really seeing someone called “Martha.” Usually, his friends were able to get past the hype and see that FBorFW was “just his mom’s imagination,” but this story caught fire. Aaron’s friends were sure there was more to this than a comic strip. It was one of the rare times when my work made one of my kids really uncomfortable.

    OK! Lets see how for we can push this silliness; How about Martha’s sub-gluteal crease in the first panel! I’m sure it was a major part of Michael’s fantasy.

    I’m going to jump on Michael here…does any kid really not know when school starts again? It was always at the forefront of the memory of every kid I knew! The dread!
