- - This is a comic strip - - Joseph Erkhoff and his friend, Rudy, are at a bar. Joseph sees a nice girl and works up the courage to go talk to her.  Joseph: OH WOW. I THINK I’M GONNA TALK TO THAT NICE GIRL OVER THERE. Rudy: GO FOR IT, MY DUDE.  Joseph: YEAH, I’M GONNA ASK IF SHE WANTS A DRINK, WANTS TO BE MY GIRLFRIEND, GET MARRIED IN LAS VEGAS. Joseph is holding a box with an engagement ring.  Rudy grabs Joseph by his shirt. Rudy: STOP STOP STOP STOP!  Rudy: DUDE, YOU ALWAYS DO THAT.  Joseph: DO WHAT? Rudy: GO TOO FAST. APPEAR TOO EAGER.  Joseph: I AM EAGER!  Annoyed, Rudy pushes Joseph towards the bar. Rudy: JUST START WITH SMALL TALK FOR ONCE. Joseph: SMALL TALK? LIKE, THE WEATHER? Rudy: SURE.  Joseph starts talking to the girl. Joseph: HEY HI HELLO UHM… SO LIKE… WHAT ABOUT THIS WEATHER, HUH? Girl: WHAT ABOUT IT?  Rudy observes Joseph’s foolery from a distance.  Rudy: OH FOR FUCK’S SAKE, JOSEPH.   Rudy approaches angrily, as Joseph is giving the girl a detailed weather report, gesturing over a big weather chart. Joseph: SO THIS HIGH PRESSURE FRONT IS PUSHING ALL THIS PRECIPITATION EASTWARDS OVER THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS…   Rudy pulls him away. Rudy: YOU’LL HAVE TO EXCUSE MY LITTLE FRIEND. HE GOT KICKED IN THE HEAD BY A DONKEY AS A KID, SO… Joseph: BUT I WAS DOING GREAT! Rudy: NO, YOU WEREN’T. SHUT UP.  The girl is alone again and looks a little bedazzled.  GIRL: WEIRD. I’M EXPERIENCING HIGH HUMIDITY IN THE SOUTHERN REGION.
