Oh my God. Panel Three for the ULTIMATE WIN. Four comes in a distant second, but only because I saw it a mile away.

Oh my God. Panel Three for the ULTIMATE WIN. Four comes in a distant second, but only because I saw it a mile away. And since Sunday was the 50th anniversary of Валенти́на Влади́мировна Терешко́ва's first female in space, let us praise Bonnie Dunbar for her achievements as well. If I am not mistaken, she was the last female to fly Challenger before that fateful day in 1986, but I have been wrong before.

All right, that's... pretty random

Well she's just a whole lot of Cat Lady, isn't she?

Panel 3 - sheer bliss!

I like your LOUD FRIEND. Can you ask her where she gets her cardigans, please?

Wow, new character who would be most annoying if encountered in real life, but is just funny within a comic strip.

Laughing hard right now.

I KNEW Allison wouldn't disappoint! Thank you, Mr. Meyer.

Wow, for such a small town, Sunnyside has produced quite a few notable citizens - according to Wikipedia entry

...AND SHE SHOUTS A LOT.
Calm down, Al.

I think we need to meet Al's friend MR. GARBAGECAN.

Shouldn't it be Farthest?
so if Oregon is jealous of Cali, is Washington jealous of Oregon? :D

Is she the female Gilbert Gottfried?

I hope the "BI Allison" is a severely exaggerated version of the real-life Allison. Oh, how I hope so.
I mean, I know somebody who has the voice, and I know somebody who has the personality, but put them together? shudder

Frank (rude and loud) and lively (annoying and loud), but not vivacious (fat and loud).
I think I might last three seconds with her before my head exploded.

So is Scott having to "entertain" this... creature... while Missy gets ready to go do something with her, or has Missy arranged one of those spousal "play-dates" for grown adults?

Hmmm. This is coming out all kinds of stabby. Allison is rubbing me all kinds of the wrong way.

Sometimes you laugh at the first panel. Sometimes you laugh at the last panel. But sometimes you laugh at every single panel.

NICE JOB THERE MEYER!

HI! NEW FRIEND!

I love the new art for Allison. Did she have trouble standing still long enough to get her caricatures 'traced' into Scott's library?

Wow. I've known people like Allison. They're terrible to talk with, but funny to watch other people talk to. Panel three is great, but I can't believe people are siding with Panel 3 and 4 over Panel 2... A whole country's worth of Oregon. That's totally amazing and awesome.

And once again, I will have Paul Simon in my head all day from the "call me Al" line....

Meyer, you are the master of the subliminal song bomb. Curse you.

And the cardigan, strange. Don't forget the cardigan . . .

Strictly speaking Valentina Tereshkova is the first woman in space, Laika was the first female.
