True story: Natalie Imbruglia came out with a new album like a month before I drew this strip, unbeknownst to me. I think the ‘Natalie Imbruglia as a very random but also very recognizable one-hit icon from twenty years ago’ joke is still pretty legitimate, even despite that fact.. Natty Im’s new joint somewhat may have blown the cover off of my quaint little joke, but… Shout out to Natalie Imbruglia anyway. Keep doing your thing, girl.
This Café Mange Savoureux is perplexing. They go with a rustic brick motif for the wall decor and choose to go sans-tablecloth on all the tables, yet their servers all wear bow-ties, and the establishment name is in French. I mean, like, what even are they? Get this place on Bar Rescue, stat.
Man, not sleeping is the worst thing. Have you ever just gotten back from a road trip, or had coffee too late in the day, or just torched some lines of cocaine and just not been able to sleep? I repeat, it is the absolute worst. When I was a young kid I had issues with anxiety. Not absurdly so, but I was a nervous little kid like I think a lot of little kids are nervous little kids. When I wouldn’t be able to sleep, though, that’s when I was the most anxious. If I wasn’t to sleep by a certain time I’d get anxious, and that would wake me up more and it would just be my own private hell, as far as that sort of thing goes for like 11-year old nervous kids.
Thank you for watching SportsEye. We keep an eye on sports while you keep an eye on us keeping an eye on sports. You know how SportsCenter has a Top Ten? Well, we have a Top 13, because we keep such a powerful eye on sports, we know there’s always more than ten Top Plays worth showing. Also, we cover minor league baseball and high school wrestling, because we give the people what they want.
Ah, yes. OK. Now we’ve had the two storylines sync up. You may have wondered what was going on when we so awkwardly jumped from the storyline about adults playing in a neighborhood ping-pong based game into a super heavy storyline about a husband and wife about to have a baby. This was the plan all along. But not like ‘this was the plan all along’ in a LOST sort of way, more like ‘this was the plan all along’ in a Breaking Bad sort of way.
