| Out There - Monday, August 25, 2008 | Miriam: Whoa. I think I just hit upon an important realization.
/ Chuck: Yeah? / Miriam: I‘m not sure I’m happy in our relationship.
/ Chuck: Oh… well… we should probably talk about that. / Miriam: Or maybe it’s just that I hate this show we’re watching.
/ Chuck: It *is* pretty terrible. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080825.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, August 26, 2008 | Miriam: Actually, I’ve been sort of unhappy for a while now. But I thought it was mostly because our schedules make it difficult to spend any time together.
/ Chuck: Yeah, that hasn’t helped. / Miriam: But now, I dunno… I’m wondering if in addition to that, maybe we’re just not “right” for each other. / Miriam:... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080826.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, August 27, 2008 | Miriam: I think I knew this day was coming for awhile, but it’s still really sad. / Chuck: So… that sounds like you've made a decision…
/ Miriam: I dunno… yeah, I think so… / Miriam: What do *you* think, though? Do *you* think we should be breaking up?
/ Chuck: I dunno… it's not an easy decision. / Miriam:... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080827.html |
| Out There - Thursday, August 28, 2008 | Chuck: I hate to say it, but I think *should* break up, Miriam… You know the whole time we’ve been going out, we’ve never once mentioned the word “love”? / Miriam: Well, it's not because *I’m* afraid to say it. I tell people like *Sherry* or my *mom* I love them all the time.
/ Chuck: And…? / Miriam:... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080828.html |
| Out There - Friday, August 29, 2008 | Chuck: Actually, we're lucky. It’s better to realize we’re not right for each other too early than too late.
/ Miriam: That’s true. / Chuck: I want you to know I have no regrets—and I think we’re going to be very good friends now.
/ Miriam: Yeah… / Miriam: You know what else is good?
/ Chuck: What? / Miriam:... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080829.html |
| Out There - Saturday, August 30, 2008 | Miriam: So we can still hug and stuff, right?
/ Chuck: Of course, friends can do that. / Miriam: But we probably *shouldn’t* go very far beyond that.
/ Chuck: Probably not, no. / [[Kissing]] / Miriam: You wanna break up tomorrow instead?
/ Chuck: Probably. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080830.html |
| Out There - Monday, September 1, 2008 | Miriam: Chuck and I broke up.
/ Sherry: *What?!* Awww, sweetie… / Sherry: Are you okay? You could probably use a hug.
/ Miriam: I’m okay, and I can *always* use a hug. / [[hugging]] / Miriam: How long should I wait before I go back to indiscriminately dating zeroes who I don’t care about and who don’t... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080901.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, September 2, 2008 | Miriam: So anyway, he and I both came to the realization that we're not in love, and that was that. / Miriam: We gave it all up, just like that. Just because we aren't "in love." I don't even know what being "in love" *is*. / Sherry: Yeah, well, I don't either. Maybe nobody really does.
/ Miriam: I... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080902.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 | Miriam: I need to get my mind off of this right now. How are things going with you and John?
/ Sherry: I dunno… / Sherry: I really like John, but we’re not what you’d call an “item.” I enjoy our time together, but it’s as platonic as it gets.
/ Miriam: So he’s never made a move on you? Have you guys even... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080903.html |
| Out There - Thursday, September 4, 2008 | Sherry: You know, I’ve always tried to make sure John knew where I stood. Not that *I* always knew where I stand… / Sherry: …Basically, he’s either not interested or just *very* respectful.
/ Miriam: Oh yeah. Even as *I’ve* shamelessly flirted with him, he’s always known that I was actually unavailable. / Miriam:... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080904.html |
| Out There - Friday, September 5, 2008 | Sherry: Miriam, you and Chuck broke up, what, a couple hours ago? And already you’ve set your sights on John?
/ Miriam: Maybe my sights have been on John the whole time anyway. / Sherry: Maybe. And maybe what you need to do is take some time to think about things. / Miriam: Hey, do you realize what... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080905.html |
| Out There - Saturday, September 6, 2008 | [[James is watching TV.]]
/ Chuck: Miriam and I broke up. / James: Huh. That sucks. Or, that’s cool. I mean, well, whatever, man, y'know? / Chuck: Score?
/ James: Tied. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080906.html |
| Out There - Monday, September 8, 2008 | Miriam [[thinking]]: I really need to get my head together. Was breaking up with Chuck a good idea? Hell, I don’t know. / Miriam [[thinking]]: Should I really consider starting something up with John? Is there any reason to think John would be interested? / Miriam [[thinking]]: I should talk to somebody... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080908.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, September 9, 2008 | James: C’mon, Red, you *know* it was the right thing to do. The man had *nothin’* in common with y'all. / Miriam: You’re right… pretty much. Well, we had a *few* things in common.
/ James: Yeah, and I don’t need to hear about them. / James: Heard about 'em enough as it is. Those walls are thin, man.
/ Miriam:... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080909.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, September 10, 2008 | Miriam: You were always opposed to me and Chuck being together anyway. I’ll bet you were happy to hear we broke up. / James: Look, Red, it’s not my fault I could see something that the two a’ y'all *couldn’t*. It was obviously doomed from the get-go, ya’ll just didn’t want to *face* it. / James: I... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080910.html |
| Out There - Thursday, September 11, 2008 | Miriam: It’s nice that Chuck has such a good friend to help him through this difficult time.
/ James: Damn straight. / Miriam: I admire that kind of loyalty. In fact, I find it to be an *intoxicatingly* attractive trait. Too bad that loyalty would probably prevent you from discovering just *how* attractive... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080911.html |
| Out There - Friday, September 12, 2008 | James: Red, I ain’t an idiot. Don’t be *playin’* with me.
/ Miriam: You’re right, James, I’m sorry. I’m really not myself right now. / Miriam: You have to understand, this is the first break-up I’ve had with someone I really cared about.
/ James: Yeah, I can tell you’re all broken up about it. That’s... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080912.html |
| Out There - Saturday, September 13, 2008 | Miriam: So… what’s Chuck doing tonight?
/ James: Oh, you know, moping around, muttering that his life is meaningless without you… / [[Miriam's eyes widen]] / [[Miriam's eyes narrow, brow furrows]] / James: That was just meaningless flirting, man… if I ever mean *business*, you’ll *know*.
/ Miriam: Yeah,... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080913.html |
| Out There - Monday, September 15, 2008 | [[John is sitting at the table, Sherry breathes in deeply]] / Sherry: Okay… I’m kind of interested in dating now but I’m not even completely sure *we’re* not dating and Miriam and Chuck just broke up and I might be interested in Chuck and I’m almost *sure* Miriam’s interested in *you*. / [[Sherry breathes... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080915.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, September 16, 2008 | John: Okay, let me address your first concern… I never was under the impression that we were dating. / Sherry: Okay… that’s good… I think… I mean, I wasn’t either, and it would probably be a bad idea anyway, you know, with you living here and working for me… / Sherry: Would you like a raise?
/ John:... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080916.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, September 17, 2008 | Sherry: So, anyway… about Chuck—I’ve kind of been attracted to him for awhile. Ever since I met him, actually. / Sherry: I never really considered what I’d do if he and Miriam broke up… I’m kind of thinking I shouldn’t do *anything*. / John: Yeah, these kinds of situations can be awkward… but I’m inclined... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080917.html |
| Out There - Thursday, September 18, 2008 | John: Araceli’s ex? Where'd *that* come from?
/ Sherry: His name is Rod. Apparently he’s interested in me. / Sherry: It’s crazy… for the longest time, I had *nothin’* goin' on. It seemed like there wasn’t a guy in the world with any interest in me. / Sherry: Then all of a sudden, you and I are hanging... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080918.html |
| Out There - Friday, September 19, 2008 | Sherry: Is this obnoxious? Should I not be telling you all this?
/ John: No, it’s all right. / Sherry: It’s just that I respect your opinion, and I know you’ll give me good advice.
/ John: I’ll give you my opinion if that’s what you want, but I don’t think you really need it. / Sherry: Maybe not. I don’t... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080919.html |
| Out There - Saturday, September 20, 2008 | Sherry: Thanks, John, I guess there’s nothing else to bother you with right now.
/ John: No problem, Sherry. / [[Sherry has left the room, John is sitting alone]] / Sherry [[poking her head into the room]]: Um, I guess there *was* something else. I feel bad for burdening you with it, but the sooner... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080920.html |
| Out There - Monday, September 22, 2008 | Miriam [[holding hands behind back, head down, looking at John out of the corner of her eyes]]: Hi, John…
/ John: Hi, Miriam… / [[Miriam still holding hand behind back, smiling, eyes are now closed]] / [[Miriam turns back to John while playing with her hair]] / John: "Shy" is a brand new look for you,... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080922.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, September 23, 2008 | John: Sherry told me that—
/ Miriam: —Wait, just let me say what I want to say, okay? / Miriam: The truth is, I’m not 100% sure that breaking up with Chuck was the best idea in the world, but what’s done is done, you know? / Miriam: Now, I know that I’ve been *technically* off-limits to you ever since... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080923.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, September 24, 2008 | John: Miriam, I think I know what you’re about to say.
/ Miriam: So let me just say it, okay? / John: I’m just trying to spare you the—
/ Miriam: I don’t *want* to be *spared*, John! I want you to let me *finish!* / [[Miriam abruptly grabs the back of John's head and kisses him forcibly on the mouth]] / Miriam:... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080924.html |
| Out There - Thursday, September 25, 2008 | Miriam: Oh, jeez, now I get it. You’re completely uninterested in me. You don’t even want to kiss me.
/ John: I *did* kiss you, though. / Miriam: No, John, that wasn't *you* kissing *me*, that was *me* kissing *you*. *You* didn’t do *anything*.
/ John: Miriam, I’m sorry… I *do* like you, you know that… / Miriam:... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080925.html |
| Out There - Friday, September 26, 2008 | Miriam: Well, I feel completely humiliated and depressed right now, so if you’ll excuse me—
/ John: Wait, Miriam, just listen for a sec. / John: This has nothing to do with *you*. I don't want to be involved with *anyone*. I don’t expect you to understand. I just want you to know you have no reason... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080926.html |
| Out There - Saturday, September 27, 2008 | Miriam: This is devastating. I always thought you didn’t pursue me because I had a *boyfriend*. Turns out that had nothing to do with it. / John: It didn't… but it's not *you,* Miriam. I *like* you. I like Sherry, too, but I didn’t pursue a relationship with *her*, either. / Miriam: You gave her more... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080927.html |
