I knew the “other side of the family” would somehow sneak in. Batten down the hatches,mateys, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!

Uncle Stupidhead will blow their cover before the night is over.

How’d she convince Uncle Stupidhead to go along with this? Isn’t he supposed to be in Hawaii?

And no cameras on JJ?

@capndunzzl: That’s Mom.

Cap’n — the blonde “guy” is Alex’s mother, JJ in disguise…. she and Zeke, AKA Uncle Stupidhead," are posing as bartenders for the event, to which they are not invited.

Kinda hard to believe that Alex, Mike or Joanie wouldn’t have already recognised them, though….I think I’d know my mom, daughter or ex-wife (if I had any of those) in spite of sunglasses and a vest, I have to remind myself that it’s ComicsLand…. the place where Lois was fooled for years by Clark’s glasses.

Ah, there they are.

really funny

Performance art hits an all-time low.

sunglasses – ornament of the shady in this world. why do women settle for guys who not only lust for other women but feel they have to detail (a they might with another dude) the hotness level to their not-as-hot longstanding mate? why? masochism? shortage of good guys?

you are indeed to assume it. ever heard the expression “here comes trouble?”

Some of the guests must be on to them. Uncle Stupidhead is always wrong. He couldn’t find his own fat rear end in the dark, even with a flashlight and a GPS system.

Hot enough to give Mark a semi.

Alex did not want uncle stupidhead to be there and her mom wouldn’t come without him.

Talk about a pervert!

Of course they know those two are there, but keeping in character will keep them out of trouble for at least half of the time.

Now. now, this is a HAPPY occasion!

They’ll just toss him in the “Puddle”

Hard to believe that Drew graduated from MIT. I could understand a pretty girl going to an Ivy League school and majoring in English or History. In real life girls like Drew almost never matriculate at MIT or Cal Tech.

I studied physics in college, and the only girls in class were the nerdiest of the nerds.

cue the creepy music………..

Still no sign of Jeff. Was he excluded too?

Unbelieveable…Here’s Stupidhead with access to all the liquor…and he’s actually managing to stay sober.No wonder no one is on to them.

I guess Drew doesn’t know that it was Alex that banned her mom from the wedding, bittersweet or callous?

It’s like Lucy and Ethel crashing one of Ricky’s performances.

Their “disguises” were as convincing as Bugs Bunny putting on a dress and playing a girl bunny.

Keep those blinders well tightened, J.J.
