Gag me with a spoon! Okay, I get the joke; it’s actually a funny contrast and it doesn’t involve a lame pun. I’m impressed that Rivera carried it off. I might even go so far as to think that panel 1 is also a dig on pre-Rivera departure scenes where Mark and Cherry are always so lovey-dovey. It’s an attractive and plausible scenario, but that may be reading too much into it. Do you agree or not?
