Olivia actually tries to say “Does the Innkeeper’s wife have naturally curly hair?” which is a line from A Charlie Brown Christmas (by Frieda, when they are casting the Christmas Play)…she loves Snoopy and the Peanuts cartoons (and comics), and when she says this quote she even pats her hair like Frieda does in the cartoon. It is true that I can grow a spectacular afro, but have not been allowed to in the 18 years Melissa and I have been together (essentially the deal is that I can grow it if I want to, but then I can’t go anywhere with her). The last time I had one I was 13, and a good 6 years removed from the decade that would have made that a cool thing…and yes, today’s Melissa Zinger was an actual one-liner she said to me when I mentioned wishing I had been a young adult in the 1970′s so I could have been cool with an afro.

Thank you to everyone who has been voting for “Clumsy Love” on “Top Web Comics,” I am hoping to get it into the top 100 some day!:

Thanks again, and see you Monday!
