Another shotgun wedding, Roy’s was entertaining, didn’t think it would happen again. Anyone want to suggest names, I vote for “Ethan” for a boy, and “Selene” for a girl, such a beautiful name that doesn’t get used enough.
Oh my goodness, I am deliriously happy for lovely Ellie but not sure that Hubb’s is ready for any of this. I am happy that they are together though, makes my heart sing.
Ow sleeps through the drama. While it is not in keeping with what we know of Hubbs’ feelings for him to speak of uncertainty, Ellie’s shotgun does move the narrative along at a brisk pace. The snow family will become a reality sooner, rather than later. Might Mama be the boulder that baby stops cold? Love will win.
She knew that Hanky panky with Hanky Spank can lead to a little bundle in a blanky but apparently he didn’t. (Remington would be a nice name for the little bundle of joy although Ithaca could do in a pinch)
Getting them together is stretched out for months, yet we’re going for “instant family?” But then, I guess the process of learning about each other and adjusting to each other was handled during the “Al” period. (And Hubbs still has to bring her home to Mom…)
On one hand, time skips always knock me on my butt. It did with Norm and Reine, and it just did here too. I feel like accepting Hubbs and Ellie as a “couple” needed some extra stories. My evidence is Panel #2, where Hubbs is looking so contentedly and calmly at Ellie, when we’re SO used to him being sweaty and freaked out to him being in the same room together. Not that recent events wouldn’t help him along, but that’s why time skips are always so jarring. He obviously did get used to Ellie, and we missed that.
But on the other, BeaR has done everything so well in this strip that I have absolute trust in the decision, and know that it’ll work just fine. It still has the comedy and the FFFFS (Frustratingly Family-Friendly Fan Service), and insane quality of artwork.
So between having trust, but also feeling like I’ve been hit with a pico-pico hammer….it’s a strange feeling.
My big question, moving forward, is how a “time skip” implies “time progression.” Will we see Roy’s kids age at all to compensate for the new baby, or are they staying static ages the way they’ve seemed for the last few years?
As usual, Hubbs is in a daze…they must have been really really busy. At least Ellie is smiling at his “wrong answer” But where has she been keeping the shotgun? It was suddenly very handy
HUH? A shotgun wedding between two characters we have been assured are soul mates just doesn’t ring right. Why all the run-up if the end was so predictable in any cheap-saloon, cheaper-motel scenario meant for fans of Harlequin Romances?
Hubbs has already showed he wanted a life with the girl of his dreams. Why is he reacting this way to a further bond of his love?Why does Ellie, who spent so much time in drag pursuing her beloved, now think he might run out on the arrangement?
We have been promised a Waterford crystal conclusion and we are being served five-and-dime glassware. This is either space aliens at work or someone has poisoned the coffee with second-hand psychedelics.
Ok… knowing that the time was short, I am hedging my bets that Hubbs is having a dream about being a father and what we are ‘seeing’ in these panels are the result of that dream.T The reason I say that, is that Ellie is not the type to use a ‘shotgun’ to force Hubbs into a marriage. Because Ellie is not the type to use ‘weapons’… she would use her bare hands. I mean, she didn’t have to use any ‘weapons’ when she finally told Hubbs the truth, did she?

Point the shotgun at something he uses and needs, a.k.a. not his head. And the baby needs to be named “Al”.
