Now we know what John looked like as a young author.
Run away John. Run far, run fast. She’s not the funny sidekick, she’s the crazed stalker.
The carpet(s) don’t look as though they match the drapes.
I’m running, Dave. Well, it’s more like I’m crawly quickly. But I’m moving away as fast as I can!
With drapes that color, I’m not sure there’d be carpet. But there’s definitely a wild tat sitting on the carpet!
OOPS. The drapes don’t look as though they’d match the carpet.
I’m so tired that at first I thought Tom Harley was going to autograph the comic book. What… Mail it to him with a postage paid return envelope? Why not have him autograph the entire print run and charge $.15? So confused.
More coffee. Must have it. Not going to take the risk of using the stove to make a breakfast.
First, a quick continuity note:
She’s holding the book written by the guy at a book signing by the guy and she’s surprised to see the guy?
Good point, Rex. And my explanation is…I have no idea. It makes no sense!
Let’s just say she’s conflicted. And maybe a tad delusional?
Probably so. But, hey—isn’t everyone these days?
With that out of the way, on to the “funny”:
We can’t see them, but has she tried to shape her breasts into pyramids?
Callback, anyone? Hello? Is this thing on?
Her breast are already pyramid shaped—with tiny mummys (or Mommies) inside.
She could get away with pink eyeshadow and lipstick, but the blue and pink hair should have been a clue that she was the funny sidekick.
Whatever her role, she’s prepared for it to be a Technicolor rom-com.
The ’80’s are calling, they want their colors back…
They can’t have them. I bought them fair and square at blue book prices and I’ve got the pink slip to prove it.
