Jealous ex-wife and the first date is only five minutes old!
How can it get worse (funnier)?
I’ve got it – the Art Crew gatecrashes the dinner with Rex trying to be the voice of sanity (for once) and trying to hold them back!
No, no, not crazy enough for this shower of … “Stellar Employees. Stars each and every one of them. The Company was so wise to hire such a pack of….star employees”
I’ve GOT it – Mace’s ex is there on a date with Baron!
If it’s Rex on a date there with Mace’s ex then I’m handing in my evil advisor robe, my evil advisor license and my copy of “101 ways to ruin the protagonist’s life for a good laugh”
And how does the ex-wife come to be there? Surely it can’t be pure coincidence? Does she generally shadow Mace, or was she tipped off by somebody – and in that case, who?
Also, “Mace, this is why you memorize your ex’s license plate number, so if your spot a similar vehicle in the parking lot, you you’ll know in advance if she’s at the bar or not”.
Last panel, last balloon, last word: “Recipient” instead of “recipiant”.
ONCE AGAIN FIXED thanks to tanstaafl! 🙂

Good ideas abound! But of course The Author can’t spoil the ending 🙁

Oh dear,
We’ve already found out Deedee can’t really hold her liquor – a couple of glasses of wine and she was picking fights with R2-D2
Methinks jealous ex-wife might have metaphorically stubbed her toe on the door frame
Though I do hope Deedee doesn’t Twilight Sparkle her. Mace having to pay bail at the end of the date would be hilarious though
I don’t think I’ve ever drawn any of DeeDee’s toes. I may have to go back and check.

Pssst… The Author’s not one to lean into coincidences.
What Are The Odds?? Seems to be a case of “The wolf in the story.”
See reply to Thorfinn’s comment 😉
Don’t you love it when Checkov’s gun explodes in someone’s hand? 🙂
What, does Mace’s ex fancy Dee-dee too? Are they going to fight for her attention? This could be hilarious.
A catfight seems more likely.
I wouldn’t call Mace catty. He seems more dog-like.
“Taking your date to you old haunts may backfire Mace.”
Maybe he should’ve been told this earlier…..
Also, “Mace, this is why you memorize your ex’s license plate number, so if your spot a similar vehicle in the parking lot, you you’ll know in advance if she’s at the bar or not”.
Why spoil our fun?
We really are a pack of cruel ethereal specatators laughing at the misfortune of these ****Highly valued employees*** aren’t we?
Egging on the author with the cry of: –
“Gott’im down? Great! Now kick him inna fork!”
I don’t know if that’s a Dragonball Super Abridged or a Terry Pratchett refference. Possibly both. Good work!
