I mean it’d be amusing because actions would finally have consequences in this strip. Just like how it’d be amusing if Bernice or Stef finally made one snide comment too many and received a knuckle sandwich. There are too many doormats in this strip; it’s past time for somebody to stand up for themselves.
Edna’s treason began in October 2009, and Bill’s endless wandering started in November 2013. Those stories are most certainly not worth your time though, particularly the latter one as it goes on for over a year and is endlessly repetitive.
Good point, especially since Jonah was a groomsman. I wonder why Toni’s friend from EMT class wasn’t a bridesmaid though, since she was at the wedding too.
Hard disagree. As a former infantryman I felt rather insulted by Brooke’s clear disdain for “the common man.” All of his WW2 arcs were about how one of his pretentious artistic types were the real hero of WW2 despite the fact that they were nowhere near the front lines (or ran away from the front lines as soon as possible.) Are you forgetting how Edna committed literal treason by feeding her Allied bosses false intel so she could keep boinking her Nazi boyfriend? Of how about how Bill spent weeks meandering around Normandy with his psychotic Mary Sue girlfriend instead of with his unit where he belonged?
If you have that much time to have sex during a war it means you’re neglecting your actual job. One gets the feeling that Brooke thought ground combat was beneath his characters. No, they all had to do something sexy and glamorous. His arcs felt like he was looking down his nose at actual soldiers.
Just because Brad and Toni aren’t Shannon’s parents doesn’t mean they should let her do whatever she wants when she’s under their care.
