I always enjoy your well thought out/well pu responses!

Thanks! The poop was all Melissa's doing. Wow. That sentence could really be taken out of context. :D

True, but nothing quite fills Norm up.

I could be missing something but I think this is just a spot-on depiction of a classic Lockdown Mood.
I have a lot of existential angst and a fair amount of religious baggage, and when I'm exhausted and miserable and overwhelmed, sometimes instead of feeling grief at the prospect of my existence being finite instead of eternal, I feel relief: "Eventually this will be over and I will be dead." It sounds dark and alarming, but it's a nice counterbalance to feel like this one life is plenty. This taps into that moment for me.

I don't think I've ever related to Norm more than I do right now.

I thought it was hilarious. I walk everyday before signing on to work and I am with Norm on this one. Anything to get out of work.

... but then I got to thinking, Ed, how did you write the last panel for Melissa? -
"Squishy leaves a present?"
"Squishy s**ts?"
"Squishy drops a turd?"
... I guess I am asking for a level of detail on how you two work together?
OH - P.S. I just got my copies of Volumes 1 and 2 of the Sokora Refugees. I already have my SCvD, Ed, so you have a few pennies from me, too ... Just letting you know I am trying to support both of you over and above Patreon ...

Oh - I have days like this too, so I found it at least funny, if not outright hilarious.

I know Norm's a frustrated creative person (as so many of us are), but this is the first time I've seen him depressed to the point of wishing for obivion; I hope he cheers up and realizes how important he is to the people who love him...and remembers to clean up after Squishy.

Thanks so much for the gratuitous doo.

I don't really think this is dark. I do know this feeling well, i am no longer quarantineing and that hour long drive in to work is a special type of hell. What I would not give for an extra hour of sleep. ^_^

Yeah, that IS dark. He has a lot of love in his life: a wife, a baby, and (best of all) Squishy.

WOW ...That IS Dark. I am surprised Norm doesn't walk on train tracks with noise cancelling head phones
