I have been looking through the comic strips trying to find even one where Jodi and Kit were separated so that I could see who was who. In this one, I note that these two bozos, for some strange and bizarre reason, have opted to go drinking without either of them carrying the keys to get back. The suggestion for how to get in is "Bang on Kit's window". Why not bang on Jodi's window?
I am inferring that this habit of not carrying house keys when drinking is not a first time occurrence for these knuckleheads. Or that perhaps they have been in and out of Kit's window before.
maybe Jodi moved out and Lynn didn't bother saying anything about this because she's a lousy writer? Was Jodi in any other strips? Was Kit, for that matter?
They appear once in about five months when Mike blames his poor study habits on Mephisto, Marl Marx and an inbred simpleton:
and his acting as if it's Elly's job to buy groceries on his housemates:
We never do learn last names or which one is which. It's like in the comic strip BC when Grace told Jane "You realize those idiots think your name is 'Fat Broad', don't you?"
I can see him yelling about the shortage of coffee, milk, granola, clean linens etc. at the Pattermanse- "the service and amenities are TERRIBLE in this place! One star!" And Deanna writing a letter in which she worries that Michael can't get his writing done because there's too much of a crowd, what with those older people and that younger person insisting on hanging around.
It's hard to feel sorry for these people. I would save that for their kids if I weren't certain that being used to chaos is going to ruin them morally.
It looks like she never bothered giving them personalities or much dialogue either.
Right. If you are going simply from the introduction, you would think Lynn had the idea in mind that Weed and maybe Mike, would make romantic overtures to them. However, as dreadedcandiru2 pointed out, they only appear again shortly before they disappear. My point is only that the timing of Mike's breakup with Rhetta in December and Mike getting back together in the summer, indicates that Lynn may have intentionally freed Mike up from Rhetta so that he could make those romantic overtures.
But then, Aaron made the mistake of admitting a woman who died in a head-on collision was a classmate. A regular person would see it for the depressing coincidence it was but we know what Lynn did and why.
That was painfully obvious when she told the story years later and changed it from car collision to a public hanging suicide. That story was about shaming Aaron and not anything else.
This was when she transitioned from whining it was just a story to actively lying about the people in her life because her feelings were hurt. The only thing that sustains a man like me is that when the leopards eat her face, she said she didn't know what voting for The leopards eat my face party means.
In the first of these strips, only one of the women is shown, but the catalog still includes both Jodi and Kit in its "Appearing" tags. So I guess this confirms that Lynn never bothered to specify which is which.

Insert joke about the window not being alone in being banged here.

In that first strip I see the back of somebody's head and a silhouette so how is anyone supposed to know if that's Jodi, Kit or Moe Howard?
"Zippo?" Weed's talking about a lighter now?

He should have been told to buy his own damn cereal and get his own damn house.
