snubnose:
Nice comic.
I'm more fuzzed about the fact people start bashing on other people so quick. Personally, I can perfectly well understand Wil's complaints. Such jobs dont have the habit of being intellectually stimulating.
BryanP:
I'm suddenly reminded of a friend complaining about not having any money. She was a medieval studies major, her husband was a philosophy major. I told her that humanities majors should never marry. Each of them was supposed to marry someone with a practical career.
innermoppet:
I'm holding out hope for Wil but he's sort of pissing me off right now. "Dreary Manual Labor"??? Seriously? His "goddess" Penelope works at a coffee shop and I'm sure she wipes down tables and probably washes dishes.
I hate pretentious people who think they are ABOVE doing work with their hands. I am a writer so I get the whole artist thing, but I also have a full time job, because I get the-not wanting to be a useless lump who has to be taken care of- thing. What floors me is that it never occurred to Wil to get a job before he asked if he could live with Penny. Did he seriously think she'd be his sugar mama when they still barely know each other?
Previously I thought Penny was being kind of a bitch to Wil but I should have withheld my opinion. I've dated enough lazy-ass pseudo-intellectuals to be wary of guys who expect to be taken care of.
plethora:
Yeah, but does anyone ever really want to wash dishes? Surely it would be anyone's last resort. Because as snubnose said, it's not particularly stimulating, plus it's not very pleasant. And, it's not great money, either.
So, that high horse you're on? Dismount.
And before you ask, yes, I've done it.
maddness:
^ What he said!
I'm sorry, but everyone who's harping on Wil for hoping to avoid dish washing and table busing is high like a muthafuckin' kite! Who the hell wants to do those jobs? Nobody dreams of growing up to be a dishwasher. If it's all you can get then you take it and suck it up, but most people would avoid it like the plague if they had a choice.
