129 – Trying Again

Discussion (15) ¬

  1. me!

    Jay knows her too well! And it’s a funny connection to the old strip(s) where YOU promised her a puppy. I think she’s gonna have to take the bull by the horns on this one and do what she’s gotta do. As my old boss told me when I wanted to get a motorcycle, “Sometimes you just can’t listen to your wife.”

  2. me!

    And on a technical cartoonist note, I noticed the skyline changing in the windows. Kudos – small details count too!

    HA! Sounds like me and my significant other…only she says…”No. You are not getting another Star Wars toy for the collection.” click ;(

    Great work!
    Big Fan,

    LOL… Maybe Imy should try talking him into a ferret!! ;)

    This is why public transportation is so great. The whole train is empty, yet the stranger with the dog takes the seat beside the only seat occupied

    I like panel 4 – looks like the dog is stretching for more petting action..

    Just keep trying girly! I did this for years before I beat my guy into submission.. and now he’s all ga-ga over the new pup ;0)

  7. tyler_durden

    yea..but what if she wanted to bring home the grandma?

  8. Teresa

    tyler – LMAO!

    Sorry, but I have to side with Jay on this one!

    Oh and they have art on the subway over there??

    maybe jay can get her a stuffed puppy or one of those robotic ones…although everyone knows they are never as good as the real thing… oh i know!! make Ime work in a pet store!! then she always has puppies!! (and then she can also realise how much they poop,pee, need walks and need to be washed)

    Gee, that’s quite different from my usual experiences on the subway. How does she get to sit by the nice old woman with the dog instead of the man who hasn’t bathed in a month or the child with bronchitis?

  11. wit

    I gotta show this to my wife. She’s insane in the membrane about dogs (we have five).

  12. Erika

    Uh oh. I think you need to go see Monica’s website.

  13. Monica

    :-)

  14. Irma

    me! – yeah! That’s what I thought was so fun about it. That small underlying running joke, that sort of ties all of it together.

    Tiki – Thank you!

    Luna – haha! I think he would be even less enthusiastic about that.

    Trent – That ALWAYS seems to happen with old people. Must be a generational thing. They always want to sit where there’s other people, even if there are loads of empty areas!

    dgriff – Oh believe me, she’ll keep trying!

    tyler – Ha! That’s a whole other can of worms!

    Theresa – Imy sticks her tongue out at you :) No, it’s not art, it’s an ad. (but the Stockholm subways stations have art!)

    gilly – Ha! That’s an interesting idea! Although, she might try to steal one.. she HAS tried to steal a dragon, yaknow ;) A puppy would be pie in comparison!

    Heather – You have the worst luck of ANYONE I know on the subway here.

    wit – FIVE. I still can’t get over that…

    Erika – I saw!! SO ADORABLE! I already told her that I NEED to go play with that puppy- ASAP.

    Monica:-P

    If you like the puppy and are willing to take care of/be responsible for it, then go ahead and get one! and damn whatever Jay says!
