Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for October 09, 2023

Get to the point!

They just weren’t meant 2B together

Alright. Alright. For the last time, stop rubbing it in.

Is that because she hasn’t done anything?

But you Norma are Miss Perfect. Never made a mistake in your whole freaking life! But have you actually ever DONE anything Norma? Huh? No, I thought not!

Very clever, and cute…
