One of Nicole's greatest traits is naming things. (Inspired by Luke's attempt to make a stromboli from scratch earlier this week.) (Also apparently Stromboli is uppercase?? And maybe not everyone uses that word?? I never heard it until I started dating this Pennsylvania boy, so, if you don't know what it is, hereletmegooglethatforyou.)

I spent a lot of the week catching up post-vacation and finally implementing a comment section on the Elephant Town site! So now if you wanna go revisit Early Miranda*(Chapter 8 just went up), you can comment below the comic whenever you wish! 

I know comment sections are generally avoided these days, but everyone is so good and so civil at the Girls With Slingshots site, I figured Elephant Town deserved one, too. :)

(*Also I just realized "Early Miranda" is actually "Miranda from Last Night," this comic really does move at an elephant's pace!!)

Omg I love Stromboli. It’s a great party meal.

Poor kitty, being given a name like that. It makes sense that she is frightened. I would be too.

William Cole

Grew up in NJ right across from Philly, and We definitely had Strombolis there.

Lesley Mitchell

Poor kitty. I'd have the same reaction to Nicole, tbf.

Andy Ihnatko

Miranda is doing something for the kitty that I think she wishes someone could do for her: provide timely Nicole interventions.

Siobhan

I, too, had not heard of a stromboli until I started dating a boy from Pennsylvania.

I just noticed that, in the last panel, the wobbles in the surface reflection in the water cup parallel the flutes in the cup’s edge; it made me think for a mo that the whole thing was wobbly! The brain does strange things…

I love me a Stromboli, but I'm also a PA boy, so I had no idea it wasn't a more general phenomenon.

When I first saw Miranda, I wondered who had the facial features to inspire that representation. I could kind of imagine it but I had never seen anyone who looked like what I was imagining. Then I tried a new restaurant and there they were. I saw this server and saw Miranda. I was kind of elated to recognize them but I had, of course, to keep it to myself because telling someone they remind you of a highly stylized cartoon figure might not be taken as a compliment though that's the only way I would have meant it. Anyway, at least one "Miranda" exists in this world, and they were very nice.

I tell my cats they are rolly polly Stromboli all the time :D

dcorsetto

Ahh!! Since creating her, I've seen SO many Mirandas, both onscreen and off! Glad you caught a glimpse of one of them. :)

Strombolis are good, but I grew up eating a particular regional variant: https://www.nicolapizza.com/ It's so tied in with my memories of summers in Rehoboth Beach... every time we visit there now, we buy a case of frozen ones to bring home...

I was told a stromboli is a calzone that *must* contain meat. But that may be just a Massachusetts thing.

Ruth Merriam

Now I want a panzarotti like I used to get in 1977. Nicole has the absolute *worst* boundary issues. I can almost hear Miranda thinking, "But I'm not even sure that I have a cat, yet. And I can't even afford food for it."

dcorsetto

Panzarotti! Geez Italians come up with the best names.

Steve Boyko

Nicole is SO LOUD. I would be cringing any time I was around her. Also, I've heard the word "stromboli" but I never knew what it was. I've learned something today.

dcorsetto

Hahaha YESSSSSS one Nicole lover!!

Minzoku Bokumetsu

Nicole is me around cats I know better, but CATS

NJGR

Ha, the difference in their steps! :) And you could get Stromboli in Minnesota, so it's around for sure. Seen recipes on the internety thing as well. - - Neal

Theadora

I am not a Nicole lover because I feel I *was* Nicole and learned better. Yeah, you gotta be you, but you gotta also respect others' boundaries. I look forward to her growth.

Kestrel Keller

I'm soooo curious to see where Nicole and Miranda's characters go! :) I've def been on the Nicole end of less extreme versions of the reserved/boisterous dynamic and I want to believe they will learn from each other!
