Transcript:
Pastis: Okay, Staci, listen... as flawed a husband as I may be. I want to say that being married to you has made me a better person, and even if we can't be together. I want to thank you for the years we were together. Staci: Oh, Stephan, that's so sweet. I don't know what to say, or how to- Larry the Croc: Dis you kid? Pastis: Don't let this ruin the moment, Staci! Baby: HIya, pops.
Am I the only one who gets depressed by these strips? I don’t know if Stephan is actually divorced, but if he is, then this just seems like he’s pouring emotional baggage into an otherwise enjoyable strip. If he’s not, I wish he’d say something to that effect in the comic. Then I’d be able to enjoy these ones a bit better. As it is, they just kind of make me cringe every day that they’re on screen and suddenly Pearls is more of a chore than a stress relief.
