This is one of those where there's nothing to say till we see what comes next.

Yeah, I don't think I understand the last panel at all.

Yeah, the last panel should be the first panel of the next strip. Obviously one of those 'reads better in the archives' deals.

I like this strip simply because it underlines that advice isn't necessarily good just because it sounds wise.

What side is Lyle's hair parted on? I know Onstad takes flippy shortcuts, but that is hella lazy.

Wolcott,
Don't you know that it's insane?
Don't you want to get out of Gainsvillle?
Out of Gainsville tonight?

I took it to mean that next time he saw her, exactly the same thing happened, down to Wolcott telling him to let her go and calm down.  Then when she flipped out on him again, Wolcott wasn't there to dispense his booze-soaked advice, and Lyle went after her to continue the argument, leading to the breakdown of the relationship.

I took it to mean that Wolcott was trying to get him to ignore Darlene, get her angrier so he (Wolcott) could get with her(Darlene). Which is why Wolcott isn't there the last time Lyle sees her (presumably to leave Lyle for good) - he (Wolcott) has achieved his goal and made himself scarce. I think Oball's solution is better though.

Edited for clarity.

I'm just going to say that no one from Florida would call a highway "The 58."  This is an affectation that I didn't encounter until California.

Carry on.

lister is 100% correct

it's i-75 or route (rewt) 60 or the interstate or the turnpike or the old mill highway, which in actuality is a way old state route (rowt) that fell into disuse oncet they put up t'innerstate

here in cali all the freeways and state highways have names, which throws me off, especially when the douchebag on the radio tells me "the santa monica freeway is slow from crenshaw to la brea" and i'm like "wait crenshaw and la brea don't run through santa monica"

Well, I said better, not right.
In a perfect world Lyle was not betrayed by his friend, Teodore is out of the closet, Molly is not a bitch and Beef's swaddling clothes was a wonder bread bag tied with a shoe string instead of an extension cord.
But we're not in that world now, are we?
