no one special:
But see, the funny thing is, Faye's self-conversation in today's strip is totally normal!
...at least for me me it is...
...is that why i don't have a girlfriend? Damn.
NO WAIT! There are plenty of OTHER reasons I don't have a girlfriend. Wait, that doesn't make me feel any better. Damn.
Carl-E:
Why is penelope wearing a NASCAR shirt (Dale Earnhart's number, I thnk)? Or am I missing some other obscure cultural reference (again)...?
raoullefere:
Normal for Faye would be "I can't date! I have ISSUES! My father shot himself dead! No reason! My life is on hold! No room for boys! Relationships scare me! Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down!"
Okay, I made that last one up. But you get the idea.
Oh, almost forgot: "I gotta redirect my rage over my wheel-spinning self and my crack-pot dad by hitting someone!" Shaking is better. A little. As long as Penelope's brain doesn't come loose or something.

Well, I'm mighty glad I don't inhabit your world. If I replied like Faye to a casual, weeknight, no-notice, movie invitation, and I picked up even the slightest hint that the guy was thinking "she's giving me the run-around", I'd write him off as packing way too much of a sense of entitlement. I mean sorry, a guy is not entitled to expect me to drop my plans for the evening at a moment's notice, even if they are just for dinner, a shower, and an early night. But if the guy isn't totally repulsive, "maybe another night" is a perfectly legitimate response. Would you prefer: "Fuck off! I wouldn't go out with you if you were the last man on Earth, and baby Jesus asked me to!"?

Some people would consider that a challenge...
Not me, I'm way too literal...
