The one where Gord's dad shows where Gord gets being a dolt from.

Synopsis: When Mayes Senior is sober, he reminds us why Gord is a peasant buffoon who paints his legs with shoe polish when he gauds up the truck he gave his son.

Summary: At least it's not packing peanuts. It takes a RICH degen to stoop that low.

What Lynn is trying to do is walking back ruining a character in the name of cheap theatrics. It doesn't work that way. Connie will always be the hysterical idiot who treats Lawrence like he's an ungrateful anomaly whom she can only tolerate.

what's with this floating bullshit? you don't get to arbitrarily screw around with the level of what is realistic in the same strip.

When another arrogant failure is called out on that sort of arbitrary, make it up as he goes nonsense, he says that it's called writing. He doesn't like being told that it's inept writing.

And of course, the ultimate example of Lynn creating a designated hero who we are supposed to love in Fucking ANTHONY who's beloved by Lynn and the Patterson family for his ability to sustain a relationship.......with his girlfriend from middle school, Lizardbreath:

First strip: Why even ask where the truck is? What difference does it make? Oh right- to set up the punchline.

Second strip: Tracey's response to listening to Gordon drone on and on about his love of another girl is "you're incredible, Gordon." We can't see her face, but it ought to be twisted in disgust by now. Since she's in this strip, she's probably falling in love with him with every word about Allyson. There's nothing even close to incredible about anything Gordon said- it just gives clueless, whiny, entitled incel vibes for me.

Third strip: "Yay, our daughter is the Other Woman, having an affair with a married man with a child! High Five!" I just can't.

Last strip "Now she spends more time at work than she spends with us." Is she at work right now, Anthony? Who is this "us?" I see a man spending more time with his ex girlfriend than he does with this child.

1. It's like the laugh track in Happy Days. We're supposed to think it's hilarious when Winkler poses when he eats time entering a room.
2. This is the same jerk who talks smack about Miss Pace Car because she can't have someone who doesn't remember that she exists. She deserves Truckercap McHormoneattack.
3. Elly doesn't know Eric or Paul and doesn't want to lest she see herself as the entitled cow she is. It's why she'll die happy knowing that Martha is a menacing stranger whose motivation is opaque.
4. Not spending time with Weird Frenchy Girl is a good thing because it keeps him Liz-oriented.

When Liz and Anthony go to the NYE party together, this is while she is dating Eric, and Anthony has just become engaged to Therese, which he tells Liz during the party. However, yes, Elly and John high-fiving in that strip is just gross.

No comments on this one either. I guess it means that we're supposed to see riding off into the sunset in a half-ton as absurd too.
