I'm afraid I don't get the connection between "10" and "hawwwt" though.

It's a reference to the "hotness scale" where someone's attractiveness/"hotness" is rated from 1 (low) to 10 (high). As we saw a few strips ago, apparently Riff is dead sexy.

I see. Thanks. Regarding Riff's steady stream of girlfriends, which he didn't seem to have in the early years, I've been figuring that he probably eventually got his chick magnet to work more like he intended.

I just wanted to chime in and say that I am so very proud of Kiki. Oh yeah, great set up and timing, Pete. ;-)

I took Pete's word for it. @Rreed243 - Just because the first meeting didn't seem promising doesn't mean it didn't have life-changing repercussions. (Ha! Unravel those negatives!) It became meaningful in retrospect. LB

Tearing up a bit over a silly comic. Guess I'm just too much of a hopeless romantic.
