What's not scary is Katie having the sense to screen her mail to keep her from learning about the ho yay. She'd lose her religion if she were to learn what people thought her inability to understand how men act looks like.

Ah, the ho yay TV trope. I am not sure Lynn has religion to lose, but frankly, I am looking forward to a careful examination of just how often this came up with Weed and Mike.

All Michael showed was that he knows how long he has to give information before the beep. It doesn't say he "knows the answering machine well" and there's sure nothing "scary" about it. What a stupid line, even for this strip.

"Dear Michael, thanks for the email. Here's my reply:

1. I didn't apologize, as I have nothing to apologize for. I guess you mean that because I dumped you, I spared you any impulse you might have had to apologize for being such an awful boyfriend. But I never expected you to apologize. Pattersons don't apologize. Too human."

2. Yeah, I have no inclination to cry. I've never been happier."

3. I've already started over. You'll probably end up with some girl you knew in third grade.

4. You're welcome. And thank you for promising this is the last thing you say to me. But I don't trust you to keep that promise, so I'm blocking you.

P.S. you were the "other guy." You've been the "other guy" for a long time now, gutless."

There is something else she could say:

5. You're too bloody stupid to listen and too full of yourself to understand what you look and sound like.
