OK, what the heck? So Liz worked with this guy at the garden center for all of two seconds and suddenly he's harassing her, following her home, and now what, attacking her? If the guy can go from zero to rapist in 4.2 seconds, how has he fooled all of Canada until now?
I'm with the commenters at FOOBiverse: Pull a Cartman, and kick him squa, in the ... well, you know.

And again, after reading the strip this morning I immediately clicked over here to see your opinion. What is up with this story line anyway? Not only has he been on the accelerated stalker track, but this is the second storyline recently that seemed to hint at Elizabeth's undeniable desireability (see: Anthony). If he's following her home she should have a) called the cops and b) told Lawrence by now. Way to show how to handle a situation, Lynn.
Count me among those that came to PCJM today to see what you said about weird Howard. It's the oddest little storyline that developed out of no where. Pull the Cartman, April....NOW!
Agreed, I came right over here. :-) Agreed, Tara, her father storms out into the night instead of sitting her down and explaining to her how to protect herself, who to notify, what to do. And it occurred to me this morning, looking at that strip in the paper surrounded by other, funnier strips, that FBOFW has turned into "Brenda Starr" -- a serial soap opera. I have some of the early FBOFW books, including one autographed by Lynn, and they just used to be a lot more humorous.
Who's rescuing Elizabeth today, do you think? Lawrence or her dad? This is like only being permitted to read a single paragraph of a Kafka novel once per day.
I used to love FBOFW, and have been reading the strip since I was young. Lately however, especially with the whole Howard storyline, the strip has been going steadily downhill. What is with this guy? I don't get why Lynn is introducing this storyline. It's pretty awful. Hopefully the stories will improve soon.
