It’s tough, knowing yourself the way others know you. Mal is discovering what people outside his head think of him, and that’s a jarring experience for people who think they’ve got a good bead on the World.
I’m crankier in the real world than I am inside my head.
How about you? Have you made this voyage of discovery yet? What did you learn?
Heh… I’m crankier inside my head than I am in the real world. At least mostly; the occasional deliberate jackass can set me off in the real world. But if I were always as cranky in the real world as am inside my head, I could have my own show on Faux.
What do you mean, that people don’t see me as I see myself?
I’m perfect.
Was Mal’s brother at the OutdoorsFest? There’s an amiable guy of similar aposarand who shows up in one of the Crazyball events (some other character is afraid of moving, in case she “wins” and ends the game)
I went on that journey way back in 1971. Friends sent a rescue party but they claim they never found a trace of me (not sure if they actually looked, or if they never left the bar…)
Is “Bait your hook” a euphemism?
Possibly.
I am both crankier in my own head that in real life and have recently learned that most people think better of me than I think of myself.
I believe it is because I know of all the selfish ‘nice’ things I do to get people out of the way of my own goals
You know what just dawned on me? How long has Ryan been there? I know he made an appearance two strips ago, but I never saw him “arrive”.
And frankly, I’m surprised Mal has a younger sibling. I don’t know what made his parents decide to try again, but so far, it looks like they got it right this time.
Savage roast.
