Brooke appears to be working overtime on being in touch with his feminine
side. The sex angle is coming out of left field, IMO. But then again,
I'm a guy. Most guys are straightforward enough that when the issue is
sex...or lack thereof...there won't be any beating around the bush about
it.
Unless there is a new monthly letters section, all I've seen is mutually
agreeable frustration on the sexual front of their relationship.

There's no reason to think Isabel is right. This comic is about her
personality, not Edda's or Amos's.

The problem being that this is Amos - who is generally as
straightforward as a Rebus puzzle made with heiroglyphs.

Given what we know about Edda and Amos (Hell, given Edda's own words),
is there any reason (besides "Isabel's an evil bitch") to think she's
wrong?

Oh, I agree with Isabel's assessment. I just think Edda's explanation
of the problem is coming out of left field.

Maybe Dann's spoiler space was unnecessary (so are comics themselves, for
that matter), but it was *funny* spoiler space.

IDK... It was overly verbose, dripping with intellectual snobbery, and
wouldn't stand up to a simple retort of "What does that *mean*?"
That sounds like Edda in a nutshell.

I thought it was a little strange, too. Maybe we should
call Homeland Security.

I agree. It sounds just like Edda. But focusing on sex doesn't make any
sense as they had both agreed that mutual frustration was where they
wanted to be.
The more I think about it, the more I think Amos has grown just a bit.
He's gone out and learned to dance for Edda. He has shown continual
restraint despite the usual hormonal impulses to act otherwise.
Perhaps.....and I am channeling my inner Brooke at the moment....Amos is
ready to go from being chaste to being chased....rather than being the
chaser. Perhaps he is ready from Edda to grow up enough to accept that
not every hot babe in the world is a threat to their relationship.
Of course, if there isn't any imminent character development, then all of
the above will wildly miss the mark.
Won't be the first time.

So? That doesn't mean she can't get angry about it and blame Amos anyway.
All heterosexuals have to choose between celibacy and tolerating a partner
who is, by the standards of one's own gender, insane.

True. And Edda is certainly capable of blaming Amos for their problems.
He isn't blameless after all.
I just don't see her as focusing on sex as the source of the problem.
Perhaps I've over-estimated her in some way.

We're in luck. He showed up in the June 13 strip. Maybe that will help
with the character development.

Well, if they *must* avoid sex they can take the Clinton route and
have "non-sex"; blowjobs, handjobs, ti- . . . ok, not with Edda's
mosquito-bites, but the other options are on the table. Edda'll be
happy to add "giving good head" to ballet and violin; and Amos will
find his finger cans do more than play good pianos, a long nose had
its advantages, and talking isn't the only way to tire one's tongue!

But the "Everything But" route is for the plebes. True maturity is a
choice between blue-balled frustration and full-abandon debauchery.
Compromise is for beefwits.

As I said before, I think the latter is the direction where this is
going (as far as syndication can allow, anyway; see "Arlo"); my post
was a lot I just wanted to get out in the open . . . and actually
seemed like a good idea at the time . . .
