Obviously, Noel isn’t comfortable around her parents. Do you have a similar relationship with your folks too? What are some of the interesting stories you have about your parents that make you want to bury your head in your shirt collar?

No comment on the parent thing. Unless you wanna listen to my ramblings for days.
First?
Ha! Thanks for bringing the competitive nature from JefBot over here, Maryz! Although, we don’t get as many comments as our sister strip, maybe we can work towards that by bringing over some competitive karma. We don’t have “shades of firsting” here, but maybe we can bestow “shades of initiative”.
People have one of two reactions to my meeting my mom. Either they think she is the best thing since sliced bread or that she is batshit insane. There is no middle ground..
I don’t suppose you’d care to elaborate…?
Why are the parents inside the terminal if they were outside meeting noel with bag in hand?
They are outside. That is a skycap who is loading the luggage.
Also, because I drew the previous comic at the last minute, and lost sight of this. I can’t get away with stuff like this doing a geek-based strip, can I
The airport I fly into when I go to visit my family in Southern California is like that. The bag claim is outside near where you can get picked up (it is a much smaller airport but it works).
My relationship overall with my parents is pretty mixed. Ever since my dad remarried and my step mom is 5.5 years older than me (we went to elementary school together and I have the yearbook to prove it) they don’t always acknowledge that I am is oldest daughter (this happens more for my younger sister than for me). So yeah kind of crappy to have them talking about their family like I am not part of it sometimes.
If was going to pretend I didn’t know them I would point out that I didn’t find out about my youngest half sister until 2 weeks before she was born because no one bother to tell me about it and it came up by accident. >_<
Rustic!!! Word of the day now! I’d rock a VW van too.
