This is a great sequence - the one thing that threw me when it first happened was Eve's behavioral shift from earlier comics to now. Reading a second time, it feels much more natural and smooth?
Also: Is it canon that she's on drugs? I ask because of your earlier note...

Is Eve's bed the couch at this point? I think it was for sure at one point - Hannah took over the bedroom? - but then they moved into an apartment with two bedrooms, right?

Contradictions are where the human spirit lives. I'm sure if you took an honest and thorough look at your life you'd find times where a situation didn't work and the other person - fairly or not - made it worse, especially in familial or romantic relationships. Being a human being is messy.

LOL of course you're a butthurt dude, of course. Guess what, that's part of human relationships. People have needs that are sometimes unfair or difficult and they get hurt or disappointed. Sure, you can take this as a searing indictment on all men or you can appreciate that it's relationships and people are sometimes messy and a human being can be disappointed by a lack of connection with someone else.

I'm a guy - married with a kid - and I'm marginally self-aware so I can read, enjoy, and even appreciate this scene because it's not something I take as a widespread rejection of me.

I kind of loved getting them all at once! Like a nice present with a bow (your commentary) wrapped around it. I'm really loving this re-visit.

The New York breakfast sandwich really is a thing of beauty - you can get a good one in New Haven too - but not many other places. It's the rolls; you can't get good hard rolls outside of the region :(. (I say this with great sadness as I live in a city closer to DC now and there are no hard rolls here)
