Artists usually have an “odd bent” to them. We tend to look at things slightly differently that the rest of the world. If that makes us strange… well, isn’t strange relative? Just like art?

Just gonna go out and say it.
This is a terrible idea, and were I Randie I’d probably feel incredibly patronized.
You never know Legacy, one of my friends set me and my husband up without telling us. We’ve been together now for 24 years. Sometimes these things work out.
I would consider myself to strangely relative, and relatively strange. 😀
It’s not the act of trying to set her up that’s the issue.
It’s that the response to her being (justifiably imo) upset that she and Ryan went from talking/hanging multiple times a week to him not being bothered to make contact for a month is ‘Hey, you need a boyfriend!’.
I, personally, would take that very poorly.
There’s a lot of Ryan & Randie history in the archives… here’s some helping links to some “interesting” toons about their relationship.

Some of us odd fellows are actually quite nice…
If Randi wanted an odd, er “eccentric” boyfriend she has a perfectly good one waiting for her in the form of Mouse. Randi being the way she is, she needs somebody level-headed, not eccentric, to keep her going. Besides, she is Ryan’s muse. The last time he was away from her, he could not write (when he followed Emily to London). I think he has forgotten that.
Amazing how attached one can become to the fate of comic-strip characters, isn’t it? And Squish calls Todd odd.
Very true.
I worked with a talented artist who was known to one and all as “Weird Frank”
It fit.
Rather agree with you Michael. I’m still shipping them (My but I hate using that term…) but they both seem willing to remain oblivious.
Musings: I wonder if Squish took greater exception to being called ‘Not Randie’ by Grace than base appearances. I also wonder if Grace isn’t the only person who’s reacted like that.
Further Musings: Ryan and Randie really should pay better attention. They’re the classic ‘pair everyone wonders when they’ll figure out they should be together’. Including themselves at times.

Musical Musings: Randie really reminds me of Landslide by Fleetwood Mac at the moment. “Well I’ve been afraid of changing cause I’ve built my whole life around you”.
Rye, quick, you have a previous engagement! YOU ALREADY HAVE PLANS!
Rich… sometimes odd is the attractable thing. I know several “odd”ities… and they are most lovable in their own way.
Michael… You win points for knowing your Squid history! Ryan was miserable without his muse back in the states… as far as Mouse goes… HE would love it if she suddenly became interested… but he shouldn’t hold his breath… And I am glad you care about the Squid Gang.
Dave… (hello!)… Weird Frank… I know a Frank… he’s kinda weird… (in a good way)… maybe it’s the same Frank!
Legacy… you did some digging! Well done! Nice toon linkage…. I give you kudos. Squish seemed fairly annoyed with Grace in general. I’m sure the comment wasn’t the only think that rubbed her the wrong way. But anybody who dates Ryan would HAVE to know about Randie. … and would have to be okay with it.
…And I love Fleetwood Mac.
Jack… too late! He got sucked into the double date vortex! It’s like a whirlpool leading to the Kracken!
