I have been told this by someone who kept trying to poach boyfriends. Legit bad person, but insightful.

Hmm you know what the logic there absolutely tracks xD

And it tracks for women with errr… less obvious qualities, too.

I remember that, for the longest time as a young adult, nobody seemed interested in me, even when i really, really emitted (as clearly as possible for a young, unexperienced person anyway) that I was available. Until I got a boyfriend. Then, right after, 4 other people admitted they had feelings for me.

I guess it’s pretty understandable that, if you want to find a mate, you’d rather have one worth the energy put in the dating game…

I think she forgot to say and relatively thin. Hard to say possibly with the art style as sometimes she’s looked bigger and others not so much, also the art style has changed since the beginning.

…I will be your Tarzan!
Me will protect you, from girls who will try to steal you.

[Hee, hee, hee!] :D

Dentist bills suck majorly. I just got done paying a $1300 one, so I feel your pain. Heh, literally. 4 teeth pulled, sucks.

That last pane tho. Love it!

New art style just dropped. I propose the rest on the comic be draw in this new style.

You bet!

…Or how about, maybe: Jackie draws this style, for about 4 pages, every 4 months?

This new style would be like a spin-off comic, sort of like: an Archie [tm] comic, + a Little Archie [tm] comic, sort of thing. That would be fun!

:D

I love the last panel’s shift in style to illustrate Carol’s premise. “Defenseless Idiot” really made me LOL. Now I better contribute something to your teeth in compensation for your great improvement to my morning.

Here in Canada we recently got free dental care. Our most XXXX like politician is losing his mind over it… It seems to be popular among the general population.
Hope you are felling well. Cheers. ~ulrich

Accurate. ?
My ex-husband found that out the hard way, when he suddenly didn’t have all the options he left me to pursue once he was single. And was very bitter when I started dating after the divorce ?

okay so the entire time you’ve ever made comics it’s always been “realistic”

and then I come to today’s strip and I get gut-punched by panel 3

incredible work Jackie

I argue that both Jess & Nina showing an interest in Thomas showed he had value even when they didn’t know he was dating Carol. The logic seems flawed somehow.

To be fair Jess is a habitual flirt so not really saying much and Nina knew Thomas as well if not better than Carol. So the logic is at the very least internally consistent.

And in doing that defense, is blind to those who still want Her. As we see at this location.

Is that $1000 with dental coverage? Blue cross and others can help if a thing that can be done.

Im not sure I agree with this logic. But it seems sound enough.

The premise that those physical qualities denote an ability to make babies is flawed, for starters. Similarly, boob size has no bearing whatsoever on breast feeding ability. But for those who haven’t tried (or had peers/family who tried) it’s a widespread assumption. She’s correct about the desirability quotient of an attached person, though.

Those traits are visual indicators of reproductive health in humans and have been for millennia. At a glance they are all useful in making a judgement. They appeal to the ape hiding inside.
