| Out There - Monday, April 7, 2008 | Miriam: I miss my roommates! I hardly ever see you guys!
/ Sherry: You see us everyday, hon. / Miriam: Yeah, but it’s not quality time! We’re working, or eating, or passing each other on the way to the bathroom. / Miriam: And I never see you at the same time. I feel like a third wheel, because you guys see each other more than either of you see me. / Sherry: Yes, and every moment away from you is spent in a passionate embrace.
/ Miriam: Is not. I check your bedroom daily for signs of amorous activities. / Sherry: Ewww!!! Why would you DO such a thing?!
/ Miriam: I don’t. But I LOVE a good ewww. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080407.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, April 8, 2008 | Sherry: C'mon, Mir, you know John and I are just friends, not that it’s any of your business. / Miriam: I know it’s not. And I’m all for you guys doing whatever makes you happy. I just wish I could hang out with you once in awhile. / Sherry: Actually, Mir, this is kind of your fault. You were the one who pushed for me to have the bar open every day from 6 am to 2 am. / Sherry: And I’m glad you did that. But yeah, it definitely reduces our opportunities to spend time together outside of the bar. / Sherry: But fear not, sweetie, we think of you often when we’re out having fun and you’re slaving away.
/ John: Sometimes we even refer to you by name. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080408.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, April 9, 2008 | Miriam: We should try to figure out a way to go on a double date. Even though you two are allegedly not dating. / Miriam: Wouldn’t it be fun to go to Oceanic City or some place?
/ Sherry: How would we do that? Who’d work at the bar? / Miriam: I dunno, couldn’t we just say we were closed for remodeling? Just for a weekend? Or maybe for two slow nights in the middle of the week? / Sherry: Wouldn’t Chuck have a tough time getting days off in the middle of the week?
/ Miriam: I could write him a note. “Must have time off to entertain hot girlfriend.” / Sherry: I could see where that would garner him a lot of sympathy.
/ John: Particularly at the unemployment office. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080409.html |
| Out There - Thursday, April 10, 2008 | Sherry: This isn't the best time of year to go to Oceanic City, Mir. Most people go during the summer. / Miriam: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, if you don't want to spend time with me, just say so. You don't have to make up excuses. / Miriam: Wow, I didn't even know I could DO that. I guess I picked that up from my mom.
/ John: You should NEVER use that recklessly. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080410.html |
| Out There - Friday, April 11, 2008 | Sherry: All right, Mir, maybe we’ll do this Oceanic City trip. But let’s plan it out. None of this let’s-leave-tomorrow nonsense. / Sherry: Are you even interested in this, John?
/ John: I’m not all that interested in the destination, but I’ll go. / Sherry: Maybe Oceanic City isn’t the best idea. Maybe there’s some place we’d all like to go. / Miriam: Why Sherry, I didn’t know you became so malleable when you’re “not dating.”
/ Sherry: I'm NOT malleable, and we're NOT dating, Miriam! / Miriam: And you DIDN’T purposely just spill orange juice in my lap.
/ Sherry: Obviously not. It would have been coffee if I did it on purpose. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080411.html |
| Out There - Saturday, April 12, 2008 | Sherry: I always feel like I should apologize to you for Miriam’s goofball behavior. / Sherry: But that’s silly, considering you knew her before you knew me. You were probably used to it before you even got here. / John: Not to mention the fact that her behavior isn’t your responsibility anyway.
/ Sherry: No, it isn’t. / Miriam: Here. You have once again inspired my latest behavioral anomaly. Wear them with my compliments. / John: What exactly IS that? / Sherry: If I’m not mistaken, it’s a pair of my underpants, soaked in orange juice and coffee. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080412.html |
| Out There - Monday, April 14, 2008 | Stranger: Hey, you’re not Sherry!
/ Miriam: You’re right. But you don’t have to sound so disappointed. / Stranger: Oh, heh, sorry. You just took me by surprise. I haven’t seen anyone other than Sherry behind that bar for quite awhile. / Stranger: Uh, she’s still here, right?
/ Miriam: Yeah, she’s my boss. She cracks the whip and I say “Yes, ma’am.” / Stranger: Cool, I hope I’m around to see that sometime.
/ Miriam: Actually, I meant it more figuratively than literally. / Stranger: Yeah, I know. I recognize banter when I—
/ Miriam:—Because she doesn’t even own a whip. We think a riding crop is more ladylike. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080414.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, April 15, 2008 | Steven: I’m Steven.
/ Miriam: Hi, Steven, I’m Miriam. / Steven: Whoa! THE Miriam? Sherry’s best friend? I’ve heard about YOU!
/ Miriam: Oh, hee hee. All good, I hope. / Miriam: What? / Steven: Are you doing anything tonight?
/ Miriam: Yeah, working, and then putting duct tape over Sherry’s mouth. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080415.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, April 16, 2008 | Steven: I assure you, Miriam, Sherry never spoke a bad word about you in my presence. / Miriam: Nevertheless, I should probably inform you that whatever she did say about me probably doesn’t apply anymore. I’ve changed a lot. / Steven: Hey, that’s cool. Anyway, I’m pleased to meet you, no matter how little you resemble the person Sherry used to talk about. / Steven: I’ve changed a bit too since I last saw Sherry, so whatever she said about me may not be relevant anymore either. / Miriam: I’ve never heard of you.
/ Steven: Cool! Off the hook, then! http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080416.html |
| Out There - Thursday, April 17, 2008 | Miriam: Okay, lemme think… maybe Sherry did tell me about you… Steven, huh?
/ Steven: Yeah. / Miriam: Is that Steven with a “PH” or with a “V”?
/ Steven: A “V,” as in “flying V”. / Miriam: What does that mean?
/ Steven: It’s a guitar. / Miriam: You’re a musician, huh?
/ Steven: Yeah. Now do you remember? / Miriam: Maybe you didn’t make as big an impression on Sherry as you think you did.
/ Steven: Maybe your memory is gappier than you think it is. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080417.html |
| Out There - Friday, April 18, 2008 | Steven: Maybe I’ll just head on upstairs and say hi. Do you know if she’s home?
/ Miriam: I think she might be out with John. / Steven: Is that her boyfriend?
/ Miriam: You tell me. / Steven: I guess she doesn’t share as much information with you as I would have thought.
/ Miriam: No, not so much any more. / Steven: Strange, because she sure shared a lot of information ABOUT you.
/ Miriam: I guess if I were anybody but me, I'd be annoyed by that. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080418.html |
| Out There - Saturday, April 19, 2008 | Steven: Don’t be too hard on Sher. She really missed you, that’s why she talked about you so much. / Steven: She must have been ecstatic when you finally moved out here.
/ Miriam: I guess so. When I’m not complicating her life, she appreciates me. / Steven: I’m sure the story of how you complicate her life is a fascinating one.
/ Miriam: You’ll have to ask Sherry. Unlike her, I respect my friends’ privacy. / Steven: Damn, I shouldn’t have said anything. Now I’ve probably started a fight between you two.
/ Miriam: Yep, I’ll be breaking out the whip tonight. / Steven: I thought you said you didn’t own a whip.
/ Miriam: I said SHE didn’t own a whip. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080419.html |
| Out There - Monday, April 21, 2008 | Sherry: Hey, Rock Star! Good to see you!
/ Steven: Here she is, the Queen of the Tap! / Sherry: Were you on tour this whole time?
/ Steven: On tour, recording, and busy with other things... / Sherry: Uh huh. How many of these “other things” are giggly, starstruck innocents whose parents may kill you someday?
/ Steven: No comment. / Sherry: Mir, I take it you’ve met Steven?
/ Miriam: Yeah, how come you never told me about him? / Sherry: I'm sure I did... We dated for about six months.
/ Miriam: It's possible I was a teensy self-absorbed during that time. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080421.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, April 22, 2008 | [[ Miriam is standing behind the bar, while Steven and Sherry are sitting in front of it ]]
/ Miriam: Sherry, I swear I don't remember you telling me about Steven.
/ Steven: Yeah, what's up with that, Sher? / [[ Zoomed in to just Sherry and Miriam ]]
/ Sherry: Maybe I only mentioned you once or twice... when I could get a word in egdewise during Miriam's monologues detailing her escapades. / [[ Zoomed back out, looking from behind the bar now ]]
/ Miriam: Maybe you just mentioned his name and didn't tell me he was a rock star.
/ Sherry: Oh, he's not really a rock star, he's just a guy in a— / [[ Sherry puts her fingers to her chin, looking at Steven, while he and Miriam stare at her ]] / [[ Sherry puts her arms around Steven's shoulders ]]
/ Sherry: Okay, he's really a rock star.
/ Steven: I don't say you're not a real bartender.
/ [[ Miriam stands with arms crossed in front of her chest, smiling ]] http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080422.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, April 23, 2008 | [[ Miriam is in the foreground behind the bar with her arms crossed over her chest, Sherry and Steven in front of it ]]
/ Miriam: Okay, I do remember hearing about you now. I just didn't realize you two were that serious. What happened? / [[ Perspective changes to behind Sherry and Steven ]]
/ Sherry: Well, we weren't that serious... Steven isn't really the "get serious" type. / [[ Zoom in to Sherry and Steven ]]
/ Steven: Well, what about you, Ms. Married-to-your-bar? I don't remember you pushing for any commitments. / [[ Pan to Sherry and Miriam ]]
/ Miriam: Wow, so you guys just used each other for six months.
/ Sherry: Well, I wouldn't call it - / [[ Back to 1st panel perspective ]]
/ Miriam: - that must have been so nice.
/ Steven: It had its moments.
/ Sherry: They were infrequent. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080423.html |
| Out There - Thursday, April 24, 2008 | [[ Miriam standing behind the bar, Sherry and Steven sitting in front of it ]]
/ Steven: Miriam tells me you have a boyfriend now.
/ Miriam: Sherry, I didn't say— / [[ Zoom in to Sherry ]]
/ Sherry: He's not a boyfriend. He's just a good friend who I go out with so I can feel like I'm not a pathetic, unattractive loser who can't get a date. / [[ Steven and Miriam stare at Sherry ]] / [[ Sherry turns to look at Steven ]] / [[ Zoom in to Sherry and Steven ]]
/ Steven: Were you joking?
/ Sherry: I thought I was, which pretty much proves I AM pathetic. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080424.html |
| Out There - Friday, April 25, 2008 | [[Miriam and Sherry chat while Sherry is about to go to bed]]
/ Miriam: So what's this Steven guy like? / Sherry: Well, you met him... He's a bit too full of himself, kinda takes the rock n' roll god image a little too seriously. / Sherry: His band is pretty good, though, and he's a good musician and has a pretty interesting voice. He's kinda arrogant, but he's not a bad guy. / [[Silence]] / Miriam: No, I mean, what's he like?
/ Sherry: Oh. Not bad. But not nearly as good as he thinks he is. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080425.html |
| Out There - Saturday, April 26, 2008 | Miriam: Sher, you haven't really dated anyone since Steven, have you?
/ Sherry: Not really. /
/ Miriam: Did he like, break your heart or something?
/ Sherry: No, but he helped me realize what I wanted out of life, and what I don't want. /
/ Miriam: So what do you—
/ Sherry: Not him. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080426.html |
| Out There - Monday, April 28, 2008 | [[ Miriam and Chuck are in bed, talking. ]]
/ Miriam: If I met a guy who I found attractive, would you want me to tell you about it? / Chuck: I'm sure we both see attractive people every day. / Miriam: That didn't even come CLOSE to answering my question.
/ Chuck: You don't need to tell me unless you THINK you need to tell me. / [[ Miriam, somewhat peeved, looks at Chuck. ]] / Miriam: Who are these attractive people you see every day?
/ [[ Chuck rolls his eyes. ]]
/ Chuck: I dunno. I always close my eyes at first glimpse. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080428.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, April 29, 2008 | Clayton: Morning, Sherry.
/ Sherry: Good morning, Clayton. / Sherry: Steven was here last night.
/ Clayton: Steven the pretentious rock start wannabe? / Sherry: That's the one.
/ Clayton: I hope you didn't succumb to his buffoonish, posturing advances. / [[Silence]] / Clayton: I said I hope you didn't—
/ Sherry: It's so sweet of you to be concerned, Clayton. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080429.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, April 30, 2008 | [[Chuck & Miriam sitting in bed, chatting about Steven, Sherry's musician ex-boyfriend]] / Miriam: I'm all your, hon. My eye no longer roves, it just occasionally bumps into something and stays to look at it for a minute or two. / Chuck: So who was this guy?
/ Miriam: Some old boyfriend of Sherry's. He's a musician. / Chuck: What is it about musicians?
/ Miriam: Oh, it had nothing to do with him being a musician. He was just really good-looking. / [[Silent panel]] / Miriam: Um, it had a LITTLE to do with him being a musician.
/ Chuck: That's a little reassuring. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080430.html |
| Out There - Thursday, May 1, 2008 | Sherry: You really don't like Steven, do you?
/ Clayton: No, not particularly. / Clayton: And frankly, it's all I can do to keep my futile attraction to you intact, knowing that you once dated THAT idiot. / Sherry: That's a shame. Well, maybe you can now turn your attention towards some new, NON-futile attraction. / Clayton: Well, any new attraction would probably be futile as well, so I may as well stick with the familiar, well-worn, dog-eared one. / Sherry: I AM NOT FAMILIAR, WELL-WORN, AND DOG-EARED!
/ Clayton: But you ARE known to date IDIOTS, so I guess I'll just keep on drinkin'. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080501.html |
| Out There - Friday, May 2, 2008 | Miriam: If you had anything to worry about, I'd tell you. But you don't. / Miriam: It would be very hard to find someone sexier than you, you know.
/ Chuck: If you say so. / Miriam: And I'm not worried about it either, because it would be damn near impossible for you to find someone sexier than me...
/ Chuck: That's true. / Chuck: Good thing there are more important qualities than that to look for...
/ Miriam: Yeah, good thing there- / Miriam: ! http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080502.html |
| Out There - Saturday, May 3, 2008 | Sherry: See, I'd never consider going out with you, Clayton, because you don't really respect me.
/ Clayton: Sure I do. / Clayton: I suppose the Prima Donna rock dork respected you?
/ Sherry: Not Enough. That's why I'm not going out with him now. / Clayton: I think you're too hung up on this respect jazz. I don't care if anyone respects me.
/ Sherry: Yeah, I can tell. / Sherry: I guess in a way, that's admirable, that you don't go out of your way seeking respect. / Clayton: Hell, no. And if someone accidentally left some at my doorstep, I wouldn't even bother to pick it up.
/ Sherry: But I bet you would bother to stumble over it. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080503.html |
| Out There - Monday, May 5, 2008 | Rod: This is the bar you've been raving about, Ari? Looks pretty divey to me.
/ Ari: Oh, it's divey all right. / Ari: But we're not here to drink in the middle of the day, because we'd NEVER do that, would we?
/ Rod: Of course not. / Rod: So why are we here?
/ Ari: We're here to eat. You're about to taste the best chili on the east coast. / Rod. Chili? Ari, I owe you a meal. You could have gotten a lobster dinner out of me instead you choose to come to— / Rod: OH, I think I understand now.
/ Ari: No, Rod, I'm telling you it's the chili! http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080505.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, May 6, 2008 | Miriam: Wow, that's a good-looking guy Ari just walked in with. What do you suppose THAT'S all about?
/ Sherry: Ari? Who's Ari? / Miriam: You know, everyone's favorite long-legged latina l-
/ Sherry: Oh, you mean ARACELI. / Sherry: What's the big mystery? He's probably her boyfriend.
/ Miriam: Uh, I don't think that's very likely, Sher. / Sherry: Why not? She's friendly, pretty, smart...why WOULDN'T she have a good-looking boyfriend? Anyway, can you please go take their order? / Miriam: You really need to spend more time in your own bar, Sherry.
/ Sherry: And you need to spend more time WORKING in my bar. Take their order. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080506.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, May 7, 2008 | Miriam: Hi Ari. You guys eating, drinking, or both?
/ Ari: Hi Mir. We'll both have the vegetarian chili and some spring water. / Miriam: Oh, of course. My mistake, I forgot you don't drink.
/ Ari: It's okay, Mr. Rod here knows I'm a pathetic lush. / Miriam: It's not true at all, Rod. She's a successful and highly respected lush.
/ Rod: I'll consider that next time she demands a raise. / Miriam: Well, since that's out in the open, what do you really want to drink?
/ Rod: Scotch and soda.
/ Ari: Still Just the water for me. / Rod: She sets such a shining example, I'm half considering switching to water myself.
/ Miriam: I'm not.
/ Ari: That will be all, Waitress. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080507.html |
| Out There - Thursday, May 8, 2008 | Rod: So which one do you like, Ari? The smart-ass redhead of the quiet bespectacled brunette? / Ari: I like them BOTH, only as friends, you pervert.
/ Rod: Look who's talking. / Ari: Anyway, Miriam and Sherry weren't even here when I discovered this place. The other guy, John, was the reason I came back.
/ Rod: Really? / Rod: Is this a sign you're switching sides again? Should I be getting my hopes up?
/ Ari: 1) No, and 2) DEFINITELY NO. / Rod: Aww, and I was looking froward to whipping your ass in a sexual harrassment suit.
/ Ari: At least in the COURTROOM, we'd be able to muster up some PASSION. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080508.html |
| Out There - Friday, May 9, 2008 | Miriam: I got the scoop. Apparently this guy is her boss or her supervisor or something. / Miriam: It still seems like there's more to it than that, though. Look how flirty she is with him! She's worse than me! / Miriam: I'll have to quiz her about it next time she comes in. Ari and I are pretty good friends now, I think I've earned the right to be nosey. / Sher: Well, if she's such a good friend, I'm sure she'd appreciate your not sticking your nose where it doesn't— / Sher: Wow, he is good-looking.
/ Miriam: Anything specific you'd like my nose to ask her? http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080509.html |
| Out There - Saturday, May 10, 2008 | [[ Araceli and Rod are at the bar. Miriam is serving them food and drinks. ]]
/ Miriam: Will there be anything else?
/ Rod: One more thing. Your phone number.
/ Araceli: Rod-- / Rod: But Ari, you assured me you weren't interested in this fetching redhead, indicating I would not be out of line in pursuing her myself. / Rod: Far be it for me to jeopardize our friendship. Say the word and I back off.
/ Miriam: Doesn't make any difference, sport. The fetching redhead's spoken for. / Araceli: See, I COULD have spared you that humiliation, but you would have had to LISTEN to me...
/ Rod: Psshhaw. I can't BE humiliated. / Rod: When my girlfriend dumped me because she wanted to date women, did I APPEAR to be humiliated?
/ Araceli: No, sadly, he was actually GIDDY about it. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20080510.html |
