“Sorry I yelled. My excuse is that I’m not as big an asshole as everyone else here.”
“Not as big, eh? That’s too bad. But I guess I don’t wish that your Mom drops dead anymore.”

OK so Chud-Lark’s mom is:
A) Passed out from a day of drinkin’ with Gil.
B) Riddled with cancer after a guest spot over at Funky Winkerbean.
C) Dead from boredom after reading the plot of this comic.
At least she enriches herself by reading when she is drunk. And she keeps an immaculate kitchen.

D) Diabetic coma from eating too many Nut Boys. They’re shitty!

All of the above
Comment by Gil'sBarber — July 19, 2011 @ 8:14 pm
BTW, here’s another thought… died from starvation due to the immaculate kitchen.
Comment by Gil'sBarber — July 19, 2011 @ 8:15 pm
I think she’s just majorly bummed out because she too has to drive the Dodge Minivan Crapmobile while Dad’s out scoring major extramarital tail with the Bimmer.

That was E)
Let’s keep it going since it’s too hot outside to do anything else.
For F) Asked her doctor if she should take *whatever* ,in spite of possible side effects such as depression, loss of apetite, loss of hair, loss of job, loss of money, memory loss, dry mouth, infertility… et al

sorry *appetite
Comment by Gil'sBarber — July 19, 2011 @ 8:26 pm
lol semper, I thought that was her brother driving the crap mobile
But we’re up to G)
Comment by Gil'sBarber — July 19, 2011 @ 8:28 pm
G) The Mom’s neck is broken by an unknown assailant. Who done it?
Comment by Gil'sBarber — July 19, 2011 @ 8:42 pm
So this is a huge Comic Faux Pas®
The bottle still has wine in it, and the glass is upright, carefully on the dresser.
Drunk People® simply do not do such. The glass is spilled, and if the bottle is upright it is surely drained dry.
For shame.

Also, how/why is Kenny’s hair dark in close-ups, but blond when he’s in the distance?

In third panel on 7/18, if this minivan is rockin’ solo, then don’t come knockin’?

Look at that 7/19 second panel. “Mom? Was M.C. Escher here working on these stairs again?”

Geez, Mrs. Chudlark, if you’re going to lay around the house drunk in the middle of the day, you could at least wear something slutty. I wonder if Kenny’s ever seen the movie Spanking the Monkey.

Whoa, speaking of “carrying your own bag.”
Comment by Dood — July 20, 2011 @ 7:50 am

Dearrr Diaryyyyy…
Comment by Dood — July 20, 2011 @ 10:43 am
Well seriously, the poor woman. She cleans the house till it shines, and goes up to have a nice glass of wine while reading the library book she just checked out, “Drinking Inside the Box: the Marty Moon Story.” It makes no sense, so she keeps topping up the wine glass (“This is Marty Moon we’re talking about – maybe another drink will help me understand the man behind the microphones!”), and next thing she knows her kid is home from “work,” propping her up and trying to make her drink some strong coffee before Dad gets home. It could happen to any of us. Don’t read books written by anyone who has ever lived in Milford! This has been a public service announcement.

I can only add an important bit of the Milford ethos– the need to make everything look like a 1950s movie. No chance Mrs Chudlark will be found in her housecoat slugging Canadian Club from the bottle– instead she must be impeccably attired in an impeccable house, with a proper glass of wine (unfinished) on the night stand. And in a nod to Jules, that Marty Moon bio she’s reading would put anybody to sleep, drink or not. Now if Marty would tell the real story (hiding video cameras in the girls locker room, anonymously sexting Dr Pearl) it might be worth reading, but “I Was a Small-Town Pervert” would never get placed in the Milford Public Library. Milford, where it is 1958 forever…

Are we missing the obvious? She drinks because she’s aware she’s a character inGil Thorp.

Rob 23– that’s not a golf club, it’s a sawed off polo mallet. Kenlark’s traveling father got it for him in Dubai.
