That's a "breakthrough", not a "breakdown" - though an argument can be made that the latter has already taken place.D.B.

I look forward to Ted eventually going stir crazy and channeling Michael Keaton.<BR/><BR/>Sally will come home one day to catch him muttering "220, 221, whatever it takes" and "Honey if you call and I'm not home I'll be at the gym or the gun club."<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the blogroll link, btw.yellojkthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592683505688819187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735001702817172149.post-38419083173198400152007-07-07T23:34:00.000-04:002007-07-07T23:34:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735001702817172149.post-45266561720211876292007-07-07T21:17:00.000-04:002007-07-07T21:17:00.000-04:00What I find vaguely puzzling about Ted's "prolonge...What I find vaguely puzzling about Ted's "prolonged unemployment" is it's just a matter of weeks at this point (unless I've missed the introduction of compressed time into the strip). In terms of average white collar unemployment time, Ted's not even close to the median.<BR/><BR/>I say take the severance package and work your way through the complete DirecTV listings, channel by channel, a day at a time, or leave flaming bags of dog do on Ralph's porch while Sally's at work if you really want to help out, Ted. Enjoy the time off. Declare yourself to be a Stay at Home Dad for Hil's awkward and never-to-come adolescent years.<BR/><BR/>By the way, the elegy to firecrackers made me tear up and cry, out of my good eye.
