ERIC: So you’re really all set to move back into school tomorrow?
WREN: Yes, dad.
ERIC: Everything is going well with your roommate?
WREN: Yes, dad.
ERIC: Classes are going ok?
WREN: Yes, dad.
ERIC: You don’t need any money?
WREN: No, dad.
ERIC: You don’t have more laundry to do or anything?
WREN: No, dad.
ERIC: You’re not smoking jegerbombs or shooting up doobies or anything?
WREN: No, dad.
ERIC: You’re not going to spend every lecture spaced out because you miss home?
WREN: Afraid not, dad.
ERIC: And you’re not going to spend every lecture spaced out because you miss her?
WREN: I.. she... wait, how did you know there’s a her?
ERIC: I didn’t, but the straight-face act made me suspicious. Plus your silent weeping through Belle’s song in a Muppet Christmas Carol was KIND OF a tip-off.
I want Wren’s dad to adopt me.
That is possibly the saddest song in the history of puppet theatre.
GLAM BREAKFAST! I <3 Kate Beaton, so very much.
A solid lesson: no poker face can hold a “her” in secret for long. Awesome comics. 8)
