Ryan Work
This is why you need a nice tiki bar in the comfort of your own home. When you work in a loud environment with lots of stress… you just need to come home, sit at your tiki bar with a tropical adult beverage and stare aimlessly at the lava lamp.
I realize it’s a lost cause at this point, but the word you’re looking for is “nauseated”. Something that is nauseous makes *other* people sick.
And I think anyone who’s worked in customer service knows EXACTLY how Ryan feels. I used to come home, shut myself in my room, and refuse to talk to anyone for several hours.
Just had to say it really amazes me the range of emotions you manage to display on the faces of your characters. I think I have started tuning in each day (most of the webcomics on my list I just do a mad dash catchup every 3-4 weeks, heh) just so I can see what faces Randie makes each day.
Truly a talent.
I like Ryan’s implied compliment. “You’re not people… you’re Randie!”
It they stay single long enough, I think they will get married; even in their youth Ryan and Randie have the comfort of an old, loving couple. And if love from others pulls Ryan and/or Randie elsewhere, these two will be best buds forever.
Going out to the pub after a long and stress filled day is something that I used to do. Though now I realize that this is just a waste of money and time. The problems and stress are going to be there anyway, and the next day I’m iritable because I am hung over.
I remember that I used to say ” two wrongs don’t make a right, but they make me feel a whole lot better!”
Randie ain’t buyin’ that.
Well, you don’t exactly need a tiki bar. Your own nice little getaway place is just that, your own, even if you share it with people. Maybe with a trusty dog or cat (uh, trusty?) by your side. Maybe with an aquarium or television to stare at. A beer, wine, rum drink with an umbrella in it, tea, coffee, slurpee, smoothie, milkshake, milk, juice, even a water can be refreshing.
I’m wondering if Rye actually likes the Kalamari Kitchen. If he does, the good things from the day will stand out. If he doesn’t, all he’ll remember at the end of the day is the lousy stuff.
Pete… R&R seem to alternate being a parent to the other’s child.
Squid… Two wrongs don’t make a right, but two Wrights make an airplane.
Squid Man… and three lefts make a right.
Chug… poo.
Wolf… Thank you! I am glad you check in regular-like. As an emotional-type person… I guess it just comes out my hand. Smiles!
Pete… Randie & Ryan tend to understand each other… at times. Whatever happens, they will be lifelong friends, to be sure.
Squid fella… Home bars save you money! Home tiki bars save you more! Tropical drinks are expensive. I dare say that one reason Randie can’t “get ahead” is that she blows her money on Pop’n Tarts and drinkee poos…. and art supplies.
Jack…. I don’t think Ryan’s excuse would fly with Randie.
stick… Ryan had an aquarium once… snif-snif. We won’t go there. Investing in drink umbrellas and swizzle sticks might not be a bad idea.
Wrights, rights… wrongs… and left turns. Who’s musical ’round here? Those should be song lyrics… Lemmie see if that Ukulele player is still around…
brig… Ryan may have lost a familiar fish, but he gained a (trusty?) cat.
A very trusty cat. You can trust him to destroy anything and everything he gets his paws on.
