Transcript:
Ann: "Will you come see me again tomorrow, Ox?"
Ox: "Sure! You're nice! Bye!"
Ann: "Bye, Ox! I'll be waiting here for you!"
Ann: "Eeeew. I feel SO low and dirty"
TJ: "What, this is a new feeling for you?"
What suddenly brought THAT on after +/- 25 years???!!!Surely not a sudden attack of conscience. We know whatthe Russians say about conscience…. And sociopaths don’thave one in any case.
Eww! Committed to being there for Ox again tomorrow! No wonder she feels like she needs a refreshing shower! —I guess this means that (however reluctant we are to admit it) even Ann Eiffel is…human.
I’m not normally one who has a problem with places serving food to whoever asks for it but $148 in fast food is an disgusting amount of calories. His father should be arrested for child endangerment.
Unlike Justme725, I love where this is going — after the panel three comments, where can Evans take this — Will there EVER be some sympathy for Ms. Eiffel from TJ? Will she now vent in some way, and take it out on someone else? Ox perhaps? TJ?
Today’s strip makes me think of a customer leaving a brothel. Ann “pleased” him. He feels satisfied, Ann feels self loathing and disgust. And TJ also looks appropriately sleezy.
If she truly feels low and dirty, it’s because she has a concience. Unlike TJ, who turns everybodys lives upside down and doesn’t lose a second of sleep over it.
TJ has no room to be talking at all. He’s treated customers (and friends!) to way more smarmy phoniness and lies than Ann ever did, and he needs to drop the smug superior attitude.
It seems no one picked up on the “see ME again.” and the “I’LL be waiting ior you.” She’s making poor OX feel like it’s a personal thing between him and her. She’s leading him on to pad her sales. No wonder she feels low and dirty.
After half the somewhat mentally disadvantaged find out how well she treated Ox, they’ll ALL come in. And all along she’s hating herself for being nice to them until she snaps…and joins a convent.
It appears that Ms. Hard-boiled egg has a little crack. Honestly, I kind of feel sorry for Ann. Perhaps she’s vulnerable and has to put up a tough and heartless exterior to protect herself. Who knows what she’s been through? Maybe TJ can figure it out.
No Dave. Old Smiley “Accidently” Hurts people by MAKING them look like idiots. Over and Over again.…..And he Take ADVANTAGE of people. INCLUDING people he considers “Family” for pete’s sake. Namely the DeGroots.
When TJ does it, he’s some kind of “hero” to some of you good folk here.
But when Annie does it,,, well You know what most of you’ve been calling her.
And let me REMIND you again of TJ’s defrauding the local fire department; a CRIMINAL ACT whether you return the money or NOT. An “Act” that He SHOULD Have done JAIL TIME For, IMHO.
Its all a Double Standard and as the Late Great George Carlin used to say, “It’s BAD for You.”
So if You want to talk about certain folks getting ther “come-uppence” as someone here said once, you need to add TJ to the list. At the Top. He’s long , LONG overdue for a TASTE of His own medicine.
Rant-Over.
Now LOOK what You’ve done Dave. MY COFFEE is Cold….,
..OX must be getting ready to play football for a major college…they eat like this…She fills dirty because she acted nice..some people believe being phoney is beneath them and totally disgusting…perhaps this is the beginning of the taming of the shrew…
“I`m thinking that whatever AE is feeling low & dirty about doesn’t include taking advantage of Ox & his appetite.”.—Yeah, probably the same feeling a prosititue has when one of her customers is a fat, ugly 90-year-old millionaire.
Well, apart from being a pederast that prefers girls, abusive sociopath (or psychopath, depending on who you ask on this site), shown to use physical intimidation to assault and having no moral integrity apart from her own self-serving purposes, not much wrong with her really. Actually, she’s a bit cute in her own way, and does seem to keep fit.
She got bit by a kid within the last weekNow she’s sucking up a guy that she feels isn’t worth her time.You have to determine what will be your life.As Bob Dylan once sang:
You may be a preacher with your spiritual prideYou may be a city councilman taking bribes on the sideYou may be workin’ in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hairYou may be somebody’s mistress, may be somebody’s heir
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed…
The introduction of Ox into the Ann/TJ arc provides an entirely new dimension to speculation possibilities. I know I’m waiting with bated breath to see if and/or how hard Ann falls, and the future is rife with intriguing options.
Ann has no back story, Greg just makes her evil without any reason. Why is she that way? How & where does she live? Was she abused ? Does she curl up with a kitten at night? Does she have any redeeming qualities? Most stories have a beginning, middle, and end. All Greg’s stories have a beginning, middle, and then fade into the next arc. At least let Gunther kiss Rosa so the world can concentrate on more important matters.
I’m gong to go WAY out on a limb and postulate that Ms. Eiffel is undergoing a long-delayed development of her frontal lobes and is feeling the effects of a budding conscience. I just read up a bit on Antisocial Personality Disorder (the most current term for Ms. Eiffel’s affliction that I’m familiar with) and noted that improvement is rare, but possible. We’ll see. (Of course, I realize that this is a comic strip, dependent upon Greg for its course.)
Ann tries to take full advantage of her good looks. However with TJ’s “help,” Ann is finding out that most everybody sees through her. Only Ox – a fat dumb kid – doesn’t see through her. And this in front of TJ…
Then she must be mono-polar or maybe non polar. Maybe she just needs to be polarized. You could probably find a lot of guys who would volunteer for the job.
DaJellyBelly over 12 years ago
Maybe because YOU ARE low and dirty, HON!!!!
Thatswhatshe over 12 years ago
I love all of Tj’s looks in this strip. I can’t wait to see how Ann falls…
FatTonyBalducci over 12 years ago
That’s what sales is about…….repeat customers……gotta build your database
tmcleland over 12 years ago
After all this time, she admits it.
Mighty_Mouse over 12 years ago
Hard to force your behavior to go against the grain, eh Ann? Awful.
Mighty_Mouse over 12 years ago
And pull your thumb out of TJ’s nose.
swami mommy over 12 years ago
LOL! Good observation Mighty Mouse.
Rakkav over 12 years ago
I wouldn’t have expected a conscience left in her at all, TJ. It might not be a new feeling, but it sure is a long-suppressed one.
auramac over 12 years ago
Yeah- she sure does look deflated… all over.

Where is Luann??? I am getting bored with this story line already!!!!!!
Liam Astle Premium Member over 12 years ago
“I would probably feel like you, TJ, if you had a conscience about forcing people to buy things that they don’t want.”
Tinyman over 12 years ago
Ya finally. Ows it feel to tell the truth about yourself Ms EYESORE.
Mordock999 over 12 years ago
Siiiiiiiigh! Annie is So HOT when she’s being REMORSEFUL!
And Ann? If You want some TIPS on How to REALLY be “LOW” and “DIRTY”, you’re standing next to the RIGHT Guy.
Hey Smiley. Should You be Busing Tables or something?
….Or CLEANING out the Cash Register?

Any predictions folks?

Ho, Ho. Ho.
Purple Morpho 2015 over 12 years ago
Wait everybody maybe she doesn’t really want to be low and dirty… Maybe she feels has to be that way…
Simon_Jester over 12 years ago
Of course what Anne isn’t saying is that for her, low and dirty is a GOOD feeling.
Chuck373 over 12 years ago
If she truly feels low and dirty, it’s because she has a concience. Unlike TJ, who turns everybodys lives upside down and doesn’t lose a second of sleep over it.
prasrinivara over 12 years ago
Anne and TJ are like a dog and a pig in front of a mudhole.
Anne is dirty as the mudhole already, but won’t go in—where TJ, like the hog, enjoys being in the mudhole!
The Old Wolf over 12 years ago
You know, Ann, if you were nice to people on a regular basis, not only would you get more business – but you’d actually feel good about yourself.
eocene82 over 12 years ago
TJ has no room to be talking at all. He’s treated customers (and friends!) to way more smarmy phoniness and lies than Ann ever did, and he needs to drop the smug superior attitude.

Ooh, Ann doesn’t like being nice, does she? Hehehehehehe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She sold herself out for a weenie, ok,

Looks like the Wicked West of the East is starting to melt, sans water, for being nice to a customer for a change.

A great metaphor for the hypocrisy that often infiltrates Corporate America.
Kydex29 over 12 years ago
I knew it! Ann is human, after all. I mean, every person like that was once a beautiful baby, and often still is, to someone.

Eiffels become one of my favorite characters. She’s just so b*tchy!

I worked for a boss just like her!

I think AE just got herself a boyfriend.
Sheriff Mordecai Premium Member over 12 years ago
hold off on feeling sympathy for Ann…
blackdawne over 12 years ago
…and he’ll be back with an engagement ring that she can’t refuse.
amyhre2001 over 12 years ago
Maybe she’s thinking that if Ox keeps paying that much money, she might have to put out to keep the cash flowing. Fast food hookering?

Wouldn’t it be funny if TJ turned out to be the owner?

Some people just find being nice to be too much work.

I love TJ’s comments via his eyebrows in today’s strip. Plenty said.
Fan o’ Lio. over 12 years ago
We seem to have a lot of armchair psychologists, psychiatrists or whatever on board today, but none to compare to Freud, Jung or Lucy.
Fan o’ Lio. over 12 years ago
Then she must be mono-polar or maybe non polar. Maybe she just needs to be polarized. You could probably find a lot of guys who would volunteer for the job.

Wanted to make it en even 100 comments.

ooh! Way to rub it in, TJ!
