If you check out Monday's comic, it shows what happens to the Trudi-Rutabaga relationship. Very funny.

You are funny. Maybe an English Cucumber???
Sassy, that's how I like to judge my friend's boyfriends when I haven't met them yet. If the name can be yelled out in passion without sounding funny, then it's a good one. For instance, Wilbur...not so good. Fernando...good.
