This one originally ran a bit earlier, but 1) Billie is CLEARLY not pregnant anymore, and 2) dang, daydrinking again. So, you know, she’s hopefully using baby formula. But we’re just a handful of strips away from the end of the standalones, so we’re running out of places to logically fit this. So it goes here, dammit!
Anyway, there was a Giant Eagle Market District grocery store at the time that we’d occasionally pay $6 to do wine-tastings at. You’d pay your $6, pay another $1 for a wineglass if you didn’t already have one (we still have a pile of them in the cabinets), and there’d be six stations located around the (incredibly nice) grocery store where you get a sip of wine and also a sampling of food. I am an extremely picky eater, so usually I’d only get the wine, and since I purposefully showed up with an empty stomach, by the end of every trip I’d find myself boozily ordering too much food from the pasta station. Their ploy to lead me into their grocery store with liquor to buy their wares worked, and I am fine with that. We all got something out of this situation.
I’d never shop there normally for groceries. It was too nice a neighborhood and I can get groceries cheaper at the local Kroger.
I feel like Walky’s response in the final panel would make more sense if it was in response to Billie, as opposed to Joyce. Carol wants grandkids, not kids. I think.
That Mike influence rubbing off.
About $4.95 less.
$4.99 less, you mean.
A nickel is worth five cents!
Are we sure that’s not Mike disguised as Walky in the last panel?
Yeah, reading comics without comments under them just feels lonely now.
… since COVID began, we’ve gotten like 85% of our groceries from a Giant Eagle Market District because they had free curbside pickup.
Oh I meant to mention I’m REALLY kicking myself on missing commenting on the apropriate strip :C. I think that last strip was the last Joyce booba.
I mean, you can still go comment on it if you want… the comments section doesn’t close after a day or two like it does for DoA
True! But like I don’t know if there’s a point in commenting on it now. I mean I could but it’d just be shouting out into the empty void “I find this hot!” 😛 Mostly I just like the community and discussion.
My comment up there belongs down here…
Yeah, after reading DoA from the beginning, and commenting since 2014-ish, comics without comments just aren’t the same.
