Restroom Confessional
Chapter: Season Ten
Characters: Charlie
Happy Friday, everyone. Have a nice weekend if you can.
I will be taking off Monday May 25th (Memorial Day) to recharge my batteries a little bit. I have been working hard on several projects and I would like a day to just rest up a bit. With it being a national holiday in the U.S., I doubt anyone will be angry about it (and if you are keep it to yourself). I will be back on May 27th to continue the arc. Thank you for understanding.
It’s like that Taxicab Confessions show….but cleaner
Shit Storm is the name of a funk band that I manage. Made up of sewer workers and meteorologists.
This comment pleases me.
Gotta love some good old bathroom humour š
I used to be a comedian who specialised in bathroom humour. Until my career went right down the toilet…
*grabs coat, runs for the exit!* š
so no joke but in a game i run a player is the lead guitarist in a band. Shit Storm is legit the name of their newest single as of last session.
So. . . is that Sam back there, or a random stranger? I’m thinking a random stranger, which is way funnier.
Also, that Eye on the Prize poster is giving me some serious ‘Friend Computer” vibes.
My guess is random stranger, but we don’t have much to go on, so you never know…
As long as the guy in the stall has something to go on
Pray for a “random stranger” and not someone like Dove…
PFT you think DOVE would use a PUBLIC restroom, let alone be decent enough to say Happy Birthday?
What about Sam’s brother? He’d probably use all of the usual social niceties in the hopes of getting Charlie to spill more than he has already.
Also seems VERY UNLIKELY that Sam’s brother would make a poop joke and wish someone happy birthday
But his Dad would!!
It would seem that the dangers of monologing are not *exclusively* for villains. Good luck with this one, Charlie.
At least that explain some stuff, but Mel is the least of the problems of Sam. (Hello Trevor)
“John, what are we looking at for weather?”
“Well Stephen, it seems we’re primed to receive one of the worst shitstorms in existence over the weekend, starting soon after breakfast. Shitstorm Trevor, as we’re calling it, seems to be heading directly towards a small gaming establishment in downtown. We’ll have more news after the break.”
okay step one Call in a Code Thanos get everyone together then tell them all at once that way if sam freaks everyone is there
step two get REAL drunk
A few months ago at Eye on the Prize home inspections:/
‘Hey, boss, you know where potential home buyers might appreciate some advertising! The pancake place!’
‘Stacks on Stacks on Stacks?’
‘Yeah’
‘So… what were you thinking, buy a space on their menu?”
“Look, I know it’s unconventional, but I have it on good authority that there’s going to be some inner turmoil going on in there and the symbolism of an impassive observer will really drive the point home.”
“Do we even do any inspecting any more?”
“Not much, mostly we’re contracted out by college students who think half a year of Literary Analysis is enough to write the next great American novel. But I think a freelance gig like this is just what we need to boost eyeballs in that sector.”
“…you did that on purpose.”
What you should do Charlie, is get the whole group together and tell them about her. Let the group make a decision, which would probably be largely based on Sam and how he feels. He might want the closure of seeing her and talking to her again. But it’s not fair on you to take that decision away from him/them. If he’s not comfortable seeing her then at least the group knows and can help. And it also means HE doesn’t have a random, awkward, unexpected, and painful encounter like yours with her.
I wonder if that was Grey.
The worst part is to me I see no good answers on what Charlie can do
Yeah, even just standing aside and letting what happens happen could lead to a big dramatic “Why didn’t you warn me?!?!” situation once they inevitably find out he knew she was back in town.
It’s very much a ‘Damned if you do, Damned if you don’t’ situation.
Page dose a great job of giving us a recap and delivering a good joke on the last panel to help lighten the ton, well done.
Man, I hate using public restrooms and I can see to gauge how clean or horrific they are. Gambling on a public toilet without being able to see its condition first would be an utter nightmare for me.
Funny if it was in a woman’s voice, and he got jangled by stress and is in the wrong restroom. Judging by the sink handles, he just went in to wash his hands and wouldn’t have noticed the change in the rest of the terrain.
Jeanie going full Mama Bear is a terrifying prospect…
Well, at least she’s willing to call people out on their bullshit.
I’m sorry but if Mel left and then ghosted everyone (meaning that not only was she not attempting to communicate but actively ignored all attempts by others at communicating) and now that she’s back she wants to “reconnect” like nothing ever happened? Either Mel has the memory of a goldfish and/or no sense of self-awareness, or she knows exactly what she did and is looking to start drama.
In all likelihood, considering that it seems she has had no contact with any of the group, it definitely seems that she ghosted everyone, and I get the distinct impression she’s trying to stir the pot AKA trying to start something, though she’s definitely gone through some stuff since we last saw her, if you take her appearance into account. She was a lithe individual last we saw, and her physical profile is… larger? I went through probably eighteen variations of that phrase just to find one that seemed the least… the word is lost on me to describe it.
Unfortunately, she also seems to have zero interpersonal awareness as a result, and she seems to have forgotten how many issues she left behind when last we saw her.
Why are so many of you convinced that it’s Dove in the stall making poop jokes and being civil enough to wish someone a happy birthday? I’m confused lol
I swear this is like Retail the comic with everyone and their mom talking about that one guy getting revenge on Cooper whenever literally anything went slightly sour because they wanted the plot to be finished faster.
