Let's see how formal, dreary and painful to look at Lynn makes Day 4 of the Settleproposal.

Panel 1: Anthony finally asks if he and Liz should discuss marriage to which Liz responds it would be good idea. He responds to her echo by pointing out they've been friends for so long, they'd be good partners, a proposition to which Liz agrees. Punchline: The fact that they're practically already married has nothing to do with anything to them because they haven't said it out loud.

Panel 2: Anthony actually fucking proposes and the Breath accepts.

Panel 3: Ever a master of the blindlingly obvious, he realizes that they're engaged. Liz echoes her agreement.

Panel 4: They have a moment of silence to let things sink in.

Panel 5: RED ALERT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! CONDITION [BOXCAR]!! I REPEAT! CONDITION: [BOXCAR]!!! THE SETTLEPOCALYPSE HAS BEEN UNLEASHED!!!

Tune in tomorrow as they break the news. You thought John and Elly were happy when they only thought that relationships they felt threatened by might be destroyed. Let's see their hateful glee when they realize their enemies have been damned to eternal frustration.

	Wow. She really did take the word "settle" to heart. While I agree that the conversations about life are far more important than the ceremony, I fully expected Anthony to do something a little, tiny bit, even the REMOTEST BIT romantic. God. What a complete fucking letdown, even for someone who just wanted something to make fun of. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's exactly what I expected from these passive characters. Subject of marriage comes up, and suddenly they come to the conclusion that they "guess" they're engaged. I can't see how it could have been done any differently without going out of character. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	That's it?!? That's what Lynn has been putting off for months on end? A serpentine bit of stilted dialogue and a "back-door" proposal? Shoot me. Or shoot her. I don't care anymore. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Okay, I officially eat my words from yesterday. NOT. A. HOAX. At least the last panel makes it clear that Liz is not a mannequin. I was starting to wonder there for a minute. What's up with that face in panel four? Is that shock or complete, unfiltered horror? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It has arrived.... And Lynn made it even worse than I dreamed it'd be... I've seen more passion from side by side customers in a morgue... And of course Liz has to act like she finally bagged him after years of trying.... We waited months for this??????????? Of course more misery ahead... (Reply to this)

	Not even a kiss? Blah. Maybe in the last panel, she's actually ripping his head off for giving her such a weak-ass proposal. Or even just for being such a freaking lame-o in general. ::::SIGH:::: (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Poor us. We have to read it - the author thinks it's poetic and deep, while to the trained eye a 13-year-old hopped up on Pixie Stix could do better. But, you know the old saying. "You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Too true. And also the "I get to make my friends wear gross bridesmaid gowns!" Who wants to bet that Liz will be a total Bridezilla, displaying all the negative behavior she hated when she was a guest or wedding party member. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)
