SPARROW: Get in line.

PAGE 16, PANEL 3

Caption: The time they were locked in that walk-in freezer with only two hours left to live...

Bob offers to cuddle for warmth. Ice cream containers visible in background.

BOB: Lets cuddle together to keep warm!

SPARROW: Id rather freeze to death.

PAGE 16, PANEL 4

Tuna at a chalkboard explaining the Blonde Law to Rachel.

TUNA: Its the Blonde Law. Sparrow is blonde and has large breasts. This makes her appealing to males. Of course everything gets handed to her.

CHALKBOARD: A=dumb, (o o)=xxx, dumb+xxx=desirable

RACHEL: Why does Sparrow always get what she wants, and I never do?

TUNA: But shes vile and conceited!

Here we are establishing Sparrow’s relationship with Bob, or rather, his one-sided affection for Sparrow. Whether Tuna’s conclusion is correct remains doubtful.

Also, the freezer scene gently pokes fun at badly written sit coms and soap operas where two characters are forced to open up to each other and remember scenes from the past season while the writers have a vacation.

    Manga/anime version of The Freezer: the terrible thunderstorm where character X is either A) Terrified of Thunder and / or B) Soaked and unumbrellaed and character Y comes to the rescue. Feelins ensue. :-} Great reference!
