So what is the message?

seems time for Dan to head to therapy too…

I’m guessing Dan is embroidering one of those samplers that says, “God, grant me patience – NOW!”

meet the new boss – same as the old boss…

You’re not the autonomous collective including me.

I get this… given growing up with an overcontrolling mother, even when I tell myself stuff like “stop eating so much” I’ll scream at myself “stop telling me what to do!” or, “I’ll show you – I’m gonna eat the whole thing!” Yeah, that’s telling myself – eyeroll. Though it’s hard to get in any word when I seem to be constantly thinking foodfoodfoodfoodfoodfood…

ATG said languid.

P.S. My Favorite Part™ was “eep!”

Yah. It was liberating the day I burned those tapes and destroyed the tape player.

Eep!

What you need is a therapist that can make you feel good about stress eating.

Hmmmm. The Boss lets you be you ;-) …. but will send you messages now and then about various things. Not a bad deal really. eh? eh?

Eep indeed. What kind of snacks trigger an old message? I want to avoid those snacks.

Part of therapy is having safe people in your life to talk to. You’re rocking it Manders! XOXO

“Eep” lololol

When that happens, belt out the “They Might Be Giants” song, “Boss of Me”. Repeat as necessary until smiling.

Eep is good, but the eyes are one again my favorite… is eep the result of the pupils burning through Amanda’s glasses? Dan’s eye roll in panel 4.

Languid therapy could be an entire school of therapy… beyond Reality Therapy… to steal a joke from someone I know, reality is better for everyone else.
