P1: Mimi orders a chunk of log with a stick poking out of it. So does Corina. Nobody has any idea why, but it’s the Milford way.
P2: Alexa’s Dirty Sanchez is Milford’s new fashion craze now that the Mood Rings craze has petered out.
P3: “So, Random Skanky Looking Waitress who has obviously been ridden hard and put away wet, what should I do with the life changing decision to move to Milford and surrender to the Twilight Zone? I value your opinion more than anyone else in the world because you have no idea what we’re talking about and that makes you completely objective.”
“Don’t look at me, Honey. I just give the boys the cherry pie that they all see me for. They don’t come as often any more because at this age they’re all sour cherries. Lately, it’s just been the pits.”
It is obvious Mimi doesn’t know that GilPa and Maureen had an affair going back in the day. Maureen was a pretty hot item but it is clear that the years have not been kind to her.
Subject for snarker’s approval. Notice that we never see GilPa and Maureen in the same panel? So help us, R & W made Gil and Mo one in the same in P3! They both use Grecian Formula.
P3 In the color version I almost had to turn away in fear. I thought Mo’s brother Moe was working the shift, and the only thing missing is a bolt through the neck. Looks like Gil’s haircut.
“… I just serve pie…”. You are hilarious, you old busy body…. you also can’t wait to squeal to Pheebs mom about every thing you overhear at that greasy spoon
P1 – Wait, what? Now she’s meeting with Mim(i), despite how much she hates authority? Why? Just so she could score some free fries and a drink?
P2 – No, that’s not a good answer! You want to know who provided the food and she said “No way I’m telling you!” and that makes you happy?
P3 – Good for Maureen, another appearance! But holy hell, she’s yet another 10 years older than last time. She’s going to look like The Crypt Keeper if she appears next week.
And speaking of appearances, these characters all make the most of their appearances in Mopped Up Thorp. With much better dialog!
Today being Sunday and Mo’s day off, she changes clothes are reports for her other job. Coincidentally, she runs into one of her long time pie eating customers.

On the juke box in the diner in panel three:
Well, I’m not the world’s most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Well, I’m not dumb but I can’t understand
Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man
Oh my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
