Jealousy is never good for a relationship.

It’s just a haircut.

They are a couple, and he wants them to remain a couple without outside interference.

Mark sounds very insecure and needy—probably like many gay men when this strip was first done.

Okay, I can sort of get it. You like your girlfriend in a tank top, but not around to many other people.

These two are so wrong for each other.

i think he just wants to stay closeted, so he doesn’t want Mark being obviously gay.

Whatever happened to Chase, anyway? They (spoiler for those new to the strip) married on an airplane, and I don’t remember what happened after that.

I used to get hit on by gays from my teen years on. I’ve learned you can’t judge a book by its cover. Yet I often see men and by their mannerisms, etc., assume they are gay – though I am sometimes wrong. Remember that so many ‘macho’ male actors have later come out as gay.

Many people of all sexual orientations parade it.

Probably didn’t print this in FL. today. I remember the series on Joanie and the young man she met in law school who died of aids. Friend of mine brought me the comics from the west coast, clipped each one for the whole week obviously well before the internet. They didn’t print them in the Houston paper.

Close. He’s acting like a trained psycho.

I don’t know about a PsyD, but he’s absolutely a C. N., Certified Narcissist. Run away, run away; there’s no room in the relationship he’s having with he and himself.
