Drabble by Kevin Fagan for April 28, 2023

facepalms in disbelief

I’ve always thought it very silly for men to physically fight over women as if the victor gets the prize, it’s her choice which 1 of them she wants and after this display (which resulted in her getting hurt) she may very well say “neither!”

She should say no to Neil because he egged Norm on, then ducked like a coward! He could have blocked the punch.

Oopsie…..

ooooooohhhhhh………………………welp, now they’re BOTH single!

Neil had that planned so that Echo would leave Norman for him.

Whatever. My initial reaction was, “Ooh, that’s not funny.”

Never, ever hit someone in the face (unless you’re wearing boxing gloves). You can hurt your hand doing that.

Whenever 2 guys fight over a girl, it’s the loser who always gets her.

More classic ‘80s Neil: “My dentist has an interesting method…he uses stereo headphones.” Norm: “I think I’ve heard about that…you mean the patient wears headphones so he won’t hear the sound of the drill?” Neil: “No, MY dentist wears headphones so he won’t hear his patients screaming.” Although the current arc is not demonstrating the amazing potential of the classic Neil character, we are still thrilled he has been reintroduced after a lapse of almost FOUR decades. This is what we have been working for since the dawn of the Internet, when Mr. Fagan was accessible to his fans. Society For the Advancement of Neil In Drabble.

This is getting stupid

Run, Echo, run!

In Junior High, I got into a fight with a guy over a girl who was playing both ends against the middle. I won the fight but lost the girl to the other guy. Promised myself never again.

whoops… :o

Whoa!

If Echo enlisted Neil to play this role to get Norman jealous, too bad for her.

It looks like Norm is going to the doghouse.

Big time OOOF…

Oops.

Well that went south in a hurry.

Coward.

I truly hope this is a dream and he is realizing he loves Echo. I know there are some who hate “For Better or For Worse”, but at least it rarely was stale since the kids actually aged and “grew” as people. Anytime Idiot Boy learns something the next week he’s back to being hapless.

Why does the last frame not surprise me?

Her fault for not telling them to grow up.
