Oh, Meredith. *headdesk*
You know, it’s one thing for your characters to take over a little bit and surprise it, it’s another thing entirely when they flat-out disappoint you.
We’ll just have to see how (and if) she manages to fix this!
Meredith sure came off a little bitter on Tuesday, didn’t she? But, you know, enough mis-matches will do that to a girl (or guy). I think it’s more frustration than outrage, and she seems to have an open mind about Archer…
Now, wait, before you get your boxers in a bunch please note that while the characters may have a few things in common with their creator, they do not always equal my opinions. These classifications are those that Meredith has come up with over years of looking for a geek of her own (apparently she hasn’t checked out SoulGeek, huh?).
Oh, looks like Archer’s got some plans for our Meredith!

Hey, gang! I’m going to be in Mobile, Alabama, for MobiCon this weekend. If you’re in the area or already planning to be at the Con, please stop by and say hello!
If you don’t recognize the food their talking about, you are obviously not a Star Trek fan. For the curious, recipes for all 3 (and plenty more besides) can be found in the The Star Trek Cookbook. While blood pie wouldn’t be my first choice (not a huge fan of organ meats), both the gagh and racht are made with noodles–much safer for the average palate.
Considering the original Klingon dishes are made with worms (still wiggly ones, at that), is it any wonder their names are somewhat onomatopoeiac for one’s reaction to them?
Wow, look at that: Ink!
Apparently all I had to do was threaten my hand with a trip to the doctor and it started to clear right up. Mostly (there were some twinges while I was working but it’s much improved).
Now, for the record, one should always be wary of accepting rides to unknown places in unknown cities with virtual strangers. This strip is in no way meant to make light of abductions or the very real possibility that everyone is not what they seem. At the same time–this is a comic and it’s meant to be funny, this isn’t the kind of story where horrible horrible things happen just to happen.
Granted, I tend to meet my strangers in a public place via my own transportation but I’ve done plenty of other stupid, potentially dangerous (but 100% legal) things during my club/dating years that I walked away from unscathed and with a good story or two. I suppose I’m lucky that way (though I no longer wish to test that theory).
Bottom line: Be safe out there, ‘kay?
