First?
…dammit Zoey….
I really like the point that Aristotle made in his Nicomachaean Ethics about music education. Quoting from memory: “A child should be trained to play some instrument well, enough that he can appreciate those who are its masters, but not so well that he could debase himself by playing it for payment.”
They’re really gonna tease us with that marriage proposal and not give us an answer, huh?
The end result of training too hard? Marble.

@ Lurker 2:
noting the selection of music, instruments, and professions around them in classical Greece surrounding Aristotle where not very often very good. Sometimes you got payed well, lived well, but it oft meant you where basically a glorified slave to your often singular patron. playing at their request. or on the streets doing the worst version of busking known to humanity more then once.
the concept of anything like bach or mozzart where in a time far beyond him, let alone modern music. Other arts where well much more respected, Stone carvers and artists where almost heralded among heros, as where writers, poets, but those where also often side jobs of the already well financed.
music was not the greatest place to be just yet.

Then again…
¿Why did she needed him?
Well, After see this i can say Merli was absolutely right.
Herodes was wrong. There wasn’t kill the kids, also the fathers.
Or so in the breakfasts club the criminal said to the athlete “Sounds like your father and my father should just get together and go bowling.”
On the other hand it’s a long time i read this strips and i have to recognize that i didn’t see that coming.
War Steffi Graf nicht blond?
@ Markus:
It references Stefi Graf, but the tags say that is Zoey.
Nooooo!!!! You can NOT do that to us!! Even IF the proposal last time was tongue-in-cheek, you can’t just leave it hanging like that!!

*Alarm* Attention! Season 4 of The Good Place is now available on Netflix! I repeat, season 4 of The Good Place is now available on Netflix!
Until I checked the tags, I’d thought that was Michelle figure skating, and I’d been wondering who that was playing football.
Wait, are those all Zoey’s? At 12-13? Yikes.
@ Raen:
No, just the last panel.
The football dad should be yelling about not carrying the ball like a loaf of bread. That is a fumble waiting to happen. Ball security!
@ showler:
It is Zoey, Steffi Graf is just mention as comparison.
The field equipment for the American Football panel belongs to European Football, which uses cones and flags! American Football typically doesn’t. 🙂
Well, there’s your parental “support”
And for those who actually thought this would have the answer to the proposal:: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s practice, not play. He’s probably practicing doing a slalom around the cones.
Not totally awake and read “coaches” as “cockroaches” at first. I think it still fits. ^_^
The update schedule has been a bit weird the past couple updates and I think it has resulted in the small amount of commentary on this one. Whereas before the comic would update roughly every Sunday and Wednesday night here in the US now the ‘Sunday’ comic may come out on Monday or Tuesday, and the Wednesday comic may come out late Thursday or whatnot. Makes it hard to tell when to drop by and check for an update.

She still is.
Hey, is that Michelle in the first panel?
@ Proto_Eevee:
That answer is pretty much a safe bet.
