What I posted on February 16th:

Maybe it isn’t Alex whom Angus likes.

Notice how Mike’s hair style changed between the third frame and the fourth—with seemingly no effort on his part.

Nice move, Angus…good bye!

This actually happened to me once way back in the day when someone made such a comment to me about my wife but had no clue I was her husband. When my comeback was not unlike Mike’s in the strip, his reaction was absolutely hilarious. I kept a very straight face to throw the guy off, but I was close to falling on the floor laughing my buns off.

SO much wrong here…. I honestly don’t remember any of this either…

Now!

Oy! Whodathunk?

Oops

Poor Alex. Imagine how she’ll feel when she finds out.

Oh oh. Might be a new horse in Mike’s stall soon.

This really happened. New guy at work talking to Joe his boss. Sees one of the girls walking by, a real cutie. He tells Joe he’d like to “nab” that!! Denise, the girl, is Joe’s daughter, LOL!!! Whoops!!

Mike isn’t concerned about Angus. He is in a good crowd with all the ex-boyfriends.

C’mon, last panel. Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!

A movie with Mom? I didn’t think JJ and Stupidhead lived nearby?

Everybody loves Kim.

Okay now I think Garry completely forgot that Angus is 15. (Actually that probably would have been too young for him to even work there, at least without being a family member.)

Hit him with the desk.

Definitely AFTER Mike hits him.More fun for us viewers that way

“You can stay. She is so far out of either of our leagues that she won’t be bothered by you. I hope you can stand rejection since she’s already chosen me long ago.”

Angus, not as dumb as he looks.

In another world, Mike could end up as a friend of angus since they have similar attractions.

Like her, but don’t touch her.

I’d forgotten about this part. So Angus doesn’t think he’s dating Alex; Alex thinks she’s dating Angus.

At least he has good taste.
