I lose it at the second and third panels every time. XD

And yet it manages to be a really rough page too.

Flashback:

Liriel Flaherty:
Are you listening to me? You guys should go before Marc gets home. He's never going to be okay with this.

Fara Bryer:
Do you hear that, Ryan? Your mommy is being a pontificating windbag.

Fara Bryer:
Ryan, can you say "pontificating windbag"?

Ryan Flaherty:
Pasta cat bim-bam!

Liriel Flaherty:
I'm serious. You need to leave. I don't feel like listening to Marc gripe about how I let one of "those people" into the house.

Fara Bryer:
What? I'm not one of "those people". I'm your sister. We're blood.

Liriel Flaherty:
His words. Not mine.

Fara Bryer:
I promise, she was a lot better before she married that prick.

"Vivian" Valverde:
And here I thought she just didn't like you using big words she couldn't understand.

Trivia

The English Wiktionary used Fara's statement to baby Rain as an example of a sentence containing the word "pontificating."^[1]
Marcus' reference to "those people" is very similar to Aiken's reference to "these people" after he learned Jessica and Rain are trans.
