    Am I really the first one to comment??
    Oh gosh. It’s such a big responsibility, I don’t know what to say.
    I’d like to thank everyone who helped me get here, I guess.
    I think I need my support Pooka now.

      Your support Pooka is here, Fang FanGirl. And I’m just as pleased as punch you’re the first one to comment. You handled the awesome responsibility splendidly, as you always do. Hugs!

      I’m also delighted to see Cypress, Helen, and Ryann have worked things out between them. Best wishes for many happy years together, you three!

      I think lots of cookies, brownies, and cakes are in order to celebrate this happy time. Do you agree, Fang FanGirl? 😀

    Excuse me but i don’t understand that sentence "I know you’re an item"

    Have item any other meaning than object?

    Sorry for the disturb

      When you say that two people are "an item" it’s a way of saying that they’re in a romantic relationship.

      Think of it as meaning their relationship is "an item of news." Or as the great bard Raitt put it, "Let’s give ’em something to talk about."

          another way of thinking about it is that the two people are being called one item, like a package deal

        A shovel has been used to induce fatal blunt-force trauma before. The same device can then be used to help hide the evidence.

          Use of a shovel in sandy and rocky soil is also good for removing blood and other organic materials from said shovel. Not perfect, but it gets rid of most of it…

    Hoping Rich explains how this works, because right now, it seems to be a circular triangle (like the recycling triangle) with the arrows just going one way ie A likes B likes C likes A, but B doesn’t like A doesn’t like C

    So far, it seems: Cypress likes Ryann who *really* likes Helen, and Helen use to like Cypress but now *really* likes Ryann who kinda liked Cypress at one time

    Will admit that I am most likely wrong and looking at it too deeply (there is a triangle in another comic with two males and one female and the female is only interested in *one* of the males… so it’s not really that much of a triangle, more of a poly, or maybe a V: two people are both interested in the same third person and only tolerate each other)

      I think you’re misreading it. All three of them show every sign of liking both the other two quite a lot, but had been trying to keep their distance from one or both the others so as not to betray their own current partner or ruin things for their friends!

    • MidnightDStroyer
      December 29, 2020, 6:40 pm | # | Reply

      From what i see so far, acknowledging a triangle is the first step of *resolving* the triangle to the mutual benefit of all.

    Rich, this is such an incredible strip.

    A case of everyone coming together to say, "I love you two too much to mess up your happiness with each other." And that love allows it to grow to encompass all of them.

    Once again, alternative lifestyles are supported <3

    So happy the 3 realized they care enough to step aside, and that the other 2 were as well. Great foundation for a relationship, added to the friendship 🙂

      The ultimate goal being of course to remove the notion that they’re ‘alternative’ at all!

      Not only is love being discovered here, but also independent thought outside of presumed/learned strictures.

      Younger people are usually better at seeing through that kind of crap than adults are – and especially better at doing something about it.

        Yes, it wouldbeyond fantastic if it became the definition of alternative wasn’t to a "norm" but that everyone has alternative 🙂

    In WWI soldiers used shovels as both entrenching tools and for close quarters combat.

    As it was with the earliest of the human species, designing & making a tool specifically for one purpose can also be used for multiple purposes…

    Hey, this is historical truth in what I laughingly refer to as "the real world" so i see no contradiction to its usage in a fictional world either. It helps to encourage "suspension of disbelief."

    ALL THE WARM FUZZIES

    So they were all best friends since *real* young, as was established. So Ryann and Cypress were into each other but avoiding talking about it; Helen and Cypress were into each other and Helen went after Cypress, then felt bad about it; then Ryann and Helen realized that they were into each other that way too… nice to see the warm fuzzy happy resolution.

    Helen x Ryann x Cypress?!? That’s fantastic! I mean, I know that Helen had a thing with Cypress, but I wanted it to work out with Cypress and Ryann, but then that whole thing with Ryann and Helen really looked _heated_, but I didn’t want Cypress to get hurt… this is _wonderful_ news! ❤️
