Men are taught that a complaint needs a solution, but sometimes a complaint is just a complaint. Sluggo is being taught the way of the women – be a companion, be a friendly ear to listen or a shoulder to lean on.
I think I am getting this today and if I am getting this…. I think it is brilliant! But, please correct me if I am wrong… it took quite a bit of thinking on my part to work through everything:
For me, I am thinking that we see a now grumpy Sluggo sitting on the porch with Nancy because he is grumpy about Esther (I think that is Esther) telling him how to fix his situation by “not telling (Nancy) how to fix things”.
So, in effect, Sluggo was complaining (about Nancy complaining).
Sluggo wanted to give advice which Nancy did not want to hear.
Esther gave Sluggo advice that HE did not want to hear.

So, is the next step….. Esther’s twin sister comes up to her and gives her advice and we next see Esther feeling grumpy on the porch? :)

I don’t think that it’s going to help if no one says anything.

Complaining is my favorite pastime. Okay, second favorite.

As I stated before, if I can’t say anything nice about this strip, I won’t say anything at all. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, snort, zzzzzzz.
