Killed us some breakfast, I see.

Location: New York, New York
Amber very briefly reassured that she may not actually be blackmailing Mike into a relationship. Suddenly: wait, am I the one being non-conned?!?!?!
Their courtship has a problem of infinite regress: it’s assholes all the way down.
Oh right, Jason was Mike’s drinking buddy. Weirdly, he may the one character who knew him pretty well both ways.
so at which point did the blackmail turn into a proper relationship?
I’m gonna say around the panel where Mike caught her in midair.
Just noticed how Jason cuts her off before she can suggest she’s blackmailing Mike
He really DOES know, huh
Before she can say anything at all. It doesn’t matter what her explanation is, she’s wrong. Don’t need to hear how she imagines she’s doing it.
Man, I’ve missed these guys, can we stay with them instead of going back to the clustermess that is Joyce and Walky and urrrrghfine.
I mean, the Shortpacked! archive is still up and running.
“… it’s assholes all the way down.”
That was a Slipshine, wasn’t it?
Sadly, no.
…
Not yet anyway. **eyebrow waggle**
Amber has a good question: agent?
It’s how he managed to get all those TV roles/appearances.
Very disappointed we never got to hear Jason’s story about Honey Bun eating its agent.
I love the last three panels of this strip.
Mike Warner, now Mike Hunter-Gatherer
...wait no
I chuckled more than one ought to at panel four. “Separated by a common language,” indeed.
FWIW, I don’t think that Mike ever really worked out to his own satisfaction why he did what he did beyond the fact that he loved Amber the way she was (mercurial, cunning and broken).
Well well well… How the turntables…
Killed us some breakfast? You could probably feed most of the City with that.
I guess Amber doesn’t watch teen comedies.
that was one sentence too many, Jason
