There's also weights at the Day and Night Spa. He runs into Dot's mom there while she's being scolded by some old prude, and asks her to join him for lunch.
The service is clumsy, but at least they get seated, which isn't always true here.
"You gonna protect me from Mrs C, here?" "Sure thing. I can take an old lady." "Don't count your chickens. She carries a gold brick in that purse."
"My husband's crystal ball says they're going to take the charts by storm."
"Crystal ball? What's he doing with that BS?"
"...He's a professional psychic, I'll have you know, and very good at it!"
"Oh."
"You should be ashamed of yourselves! There's at least 30 years difference between you!" "Excuse me?" "Hey, I'm not a kid and this ain't a date." "I know what people get up to in saunas. Swimsuits are bad enough!"
Well, now he needs a massage…dealing with antis is so exhausting!
"I'm calling the cops on this whole establishment! I know what 'massage' is code for!" "Look, if you're not in the market for what you think this place sells why are you even here?"
Sorry guys, I have company over and its been hard to draw and post this week. However, here is Yesterday’s warm-up Calumon!

Crystal loves raising the roof.
Alas, the article does not have the impact she'd hoped.
Oh, well, writing obituaries is interesting. The only cure for career blues is a party, so Mag makes some burgers and some phone calls. Only the girls and that nice local man she met when he was trying to place a "free puppies" ad show up. But a party is what you make it.
"This place is nice, but aren't you afraid you'll get lonesome out here in the middle of nowhere?" "It's not the middle of nowhere at all. Cyd, you live here - tell them about the social opportunities!" "I'm not really the right person to ask. Not very good with the friend making. But a lot of new houses are going up. And you're close to the Harts, who are very nice. The second Mrs. Hart is, um, a real sweetheart and she knows everybody."
When Axel comes home he brings a co-worker with him, having learned that she's the mother of one of Daisy's band mates. "Of course she jumps at the chance to be in a band, and I wish her all kinds of well at it, but there's inherent dangers in the lifestyle and we'd feel better if she were in the sorority." "Oh, but she'll have so much fun! And with JoAnn in charge there's nothing to worry about, I promise you. If JoAnn could get into trouble, my Dot would've dragged her there a long time ago."
"We haven't gone out to see their place yet, but Daisy certainly seems happy there."
Are they looking at us or are we looking at them?
The Marshalls and Enik, grouped around a crystal matrix table in the Land of the Lost
It's not Daisy's party, but she feels responsible for it. JoAnn's bash will not tank on her watch! "How you coming on that Best Friend tally, Ida Juana?"
"Maybe your folks need to downsize? Take fewer risks?" "Maybe, but good luck convincing them of it."
Dot's mom seems to have taken against Helen for some reason. Never mind, they'll sort it out.
Oh, thank goodness. "Pizza's here, y'all! Stop poking each other and come help yourselves!"
"I know you wanted me to be a doctor -" "Look, I'm proud of you whatever dream you follow. Maybe Janis or the new baby will doctor up."
"My mom was pretty old when she had my little sister, too. It wasn't easy getting birth control in Widespot in those days. But we've never ever regretted it because Delta's great."
"Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah yeah." The vinyl collection gets a workout. Real musicians are never snobs, and JoAnn can't think of a better way to spend her last moments on campus than dancing.
But Janis isn't having fun, so JoAnn sisters up and sits down with her. The baby issue is not a trivial one to a future free babysitter.
"I mean, I suppose I could do all the cooking if it meant never changing a diaper -" "That's…not how diapers work, hon. Whoever's around changes the diaper. But it won't be so bad. I mean, it's not fun, but little sisters are worth a little trouble. And so is getting that crying to stop. Seriously, there's something primal about the rhythm they scream in."
