Stuart is gay and/or a eunic and/or socially retarded and/or denying any attraction to little Susie, because he thinks, in his deluded imagination, that he can get himself a Penthouse Pet.
If only the latter two conditionals are true, then Susan, who is obviously the shy type, should wait for the next office party, get good and liquored up (and hope Stuart does as well), come up to him, squeeze his behind and tell him, "I got your fish dinner right here, mister.".
Hey, don't laugh, that's how an ex-girlfriend of mine picked me up (sort of).
Doc Pettibone is an obvious smoldering queer.
Cathy and Stephen already have made reservations for an evening at the Comack Motor Inn.
Mr. D see's a dominatrix twice a week, and calls her "Mommy!"
The unseen Bernice is married, with three chideren, and a couple of grandkids. She hasn't given her poor husband sex since Golden Girls got cancelled.
I ain't even gonna touch what's going on with Gus.
The walrus is a metaphoric Angel (a low ranking one) of the Lord, and thus is not prone to sexual proclivities.

Wow. I didn't know the Comack Motor Inn was world famous. I actually grew up not far from there.Rip Tanion wrote:Cathy and Stephen already have made reservations for an evening at the Comack Motor Inn.

Short stays OR overnight -- yes, folks, the Comack Motor Inn is well-known for its hourly rates.

Completly random theory:
Both Bernice and Susan have called Stuart "Bucko". An allusion to the Pirate theme? Or!...
As every one knows, walruses have ludicrously oversized tusks which equals buck teeth. Hence, you would tend to call a walrus "Bucko", if you'd rather not to resort to such cliches as "Walter" or "Wally". Perhaps Stuart has wal-resh origins?

I don't know if it's world famous, but anyone who grew up in ear shot of NYC radio or TV, is probably familiar with the cheesy ads they've ran for years, at odd hours.Alexander D. wrote:Wow.

Actually, I haven't seen one of their adds in a while. I'm trying to remember...was it Comack that showed the couple in the giant, heart shaped, bubble-filled Love Tub?
As for Susan, I can't stands to sees a women cry.

I don't recall the ads, honestly. But the Theme Rooms page does reveal a heart-shaped Love Tub, so yeah, that's gotta be them.Rip Tanion wrote:Actually, I haven't seen one of their adds in a while.

Also -- make sure you visit their page with sound on. They've got the most honest theme music ever.
As for the walrus -- I think he's just sad that Stuart isn't ordering fish after all. I'll bet he thinks Susan got what she deserved, after she so thoughtlessly deprived him of lunch.

And Susan probably lives in an all-female boarding house, where no men are allowed upstairs. Which means, even if Stuart does come around to seeing Susie as an "object of romance", they're still gonna have to find some place to "do it." Well, we're back to the Comack Motor Inn.IronSpike wrote:Betcha Stuart still lives at home with mom and has a curfew.

Haw. Susie probably considers kissing open-mouthed "going all the way."
Can't you just picture the two of 'em, snogging in the back row of a theater at a late afternoon showing of "Finding Nemo?" priceless.

Yeah I have to say I like the characters in this comic. Even though nothing much has happened, the personalities are very entertaining.Christopher Lundgren wrote: Seems like they could be the subject of their own spin-off series.
On a different note, can anyone read the title on that magazine, and on a slightly divergent note, how dooes one spell "magazine"?

Woohoo!
"But No One Ever Noticed the Walrus" is now the longest Morning Improv discussion thread both in number of pages and number of replies.
But how could it not be now that Scott has added monkeys to the mix!

After much squinting I'm quessing it's GAMES magazine. Do I get a ZWOL No-Prize? (I'm still waitiimg for my last one) Scott, I'm sending you the bill for my next trip to the eye doctor.Kris Lachowski wrote:On a different note, can anyone read the title on that magazine, and on a slightly divergent note, how dooes one spell "magazine"?
As for Susie, I once dated a girl sort of like her (a little better looking, though), and she wasn't nearly as innocent as I thought she'd be. I'll bet there's a smoldering sex-pot underneath those specs, freckles and tied back her. The moment she got Stuart alone, Sue would pull him down for some hot, MONKEY love.
