When Brooke McEldowney isn't fucking around with Nazi love triangles, he's often writing some of the best dialog in the comics section. Today's strip is a good example of that. There' nothing much happening. It's just two people talking. But the conversation is just so well done. It's a very natural sounding joke.So, in short: fewer Nazi love triangles, more stories about two people talking.
I think this is a rare example of good writing in 9 Chickweed Lane. Most of the time it's just pretentious.
