Glenn’s “home situation” sounds like a mystery for another day. We’ll get to it, like The Great British Bump Off and Wobbly Head, we’ll get to it.
So he was born a ramblin’ man. Tryin’ to make a livin’ and doin’ the best he can.
Gleen invokes the words of Gordon Sumner: “Must I be the man in a suitcase? Is it me, the man with the strsnger’s face?”
D’oh! *stranger’s
Or
Woke up in my clothes again this morning
Don’t know exactly where I am
“Tonight most people will be welcomed home by jumping dogs and squealing kids and thousands more will ask about their day and tonight they’ll sleep. The stars will wheel forth from their daytime hiding places; and one of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wingtip passing over. “
Poor Glymm. No wonder he always looks terrified.
No wonder he was hanging out at the laundromat at 3 a.m.
I know how it feels, Gerg. There’s a voice that keeps on calling me-down the road is where I’ll always be; every stop I make, I’ll make a new friend, can’t stay for long, just turn around and I’m gone again.
Maybe tomorrow, I’ll want to settle down – until tomorrow, I’ll just keep moving on.
[exeunt, whistling]
That brings back happy memories for me
Littlest Hobo!!!!!! I loved that show as a child. Also – filmed in Canada!
Lottie and Claire offered their help. But the problem here seems too big for them, or (more likely) they didn’t expect to see Glenn go down so suddenly? He has helped them both, but he seems unable to help himself… poor Glenn.
Lottie seems better at fixing other people’s problems than getting her own life in order. Lottie and Glenlivet sorted Claire out. If Lottie and Claire can sort Glenfiddich out (hopefully not like Pepper was “sorted out”), then maybe Claire and Glenmorangie can sort Lottie out.
Y’all called out a lot of liquid Scotsmen there. (I have a friend who’s quite partial to Glenmorangie.)
If Gavin isn’t up to the job, maybe Claire and whisky can sort Lottie out. Or create exciting new problems, either one.
Whoever had “zombie” was not far off.
Ygln, The Driving Welshman…
Is Glurn possibly the reincarnation of famed Canadian German shepherd The Littlest Hobo, wandering from town to town, helping folks in need? Oh, crap, that’s it, isn’t it?
(Sorry if I spoiled a big reveal. But it all seems so obvious in retrospect.)
Or perhaps a different show: Have Jobby, Will Travel?
Wow, memory is amazing. I haven’t thought about that show, which I loved, in…forty years? You mention it and I realize I know all the words.
Now I must find episodes and annoy/inspire the kids!
Home in the darkness, home on the highway, home isn’t my way
Home I’ll never be
Burn out the day, burn out the night.
About a year ago… isn’t that pretty close to when Billie inadvertently summoned the giant storm that miraculously spared Tredregyn as the only good site to shoot Clotted Crime?

Now I’m wondering if Glenn/Glym/Glum has a Tyler Durden equivalent alter-ego.
I don’t think Glynwin is a big fan of Gordon Lightfoot, since we seem to be on a sort of musical metaphor kick. The Early Morning Rain comes to mind.
Claire, who got Glenn’s name right on the previous page (and after having no contact with him for months) has immediately, and apparently instinctively, been drawn into Lottie’s habit of misnaming him. I can’t quite decide whether that habit is just continued “shenanigans” or whether Lottie is genuinely unable to remember, perhaps as an indication that we should read Glenn as an ineffectual introvert. I feel sorry for him.
The interesting thing is that Claire got his name wrong in the exact same way at the exact same time as Lottie did. I think it just shows how in tune she is to Lottie.
I suspect that was planned and possibly rehearsed before they walked over.
Lottie is surely messing with him, much the same as Samantha’s mother kept calling Darren “Darwin” or “Derwood”.
Judging by the fact that she can’t even get it right behind his back when she thinks of him to solve Claire’s LSE situation and still doesn’t get it right with his card in front of her makes me think the gag is to actively refuse to learn what his name is.
I’m reminded of Ryan not being able to remember Erin’s name that she had literally just said. Suppose Grover got sucked into Hell at some point?
Tiny Lottie reflected in Glenn’s pupil is a great addition to the Tiny Lottie canon.
Tiny Horrified Lottie! Now with bonus Tiny Horrified Claire!
I would also put these in a collection with Santa Claus in Shelley’s eyes (from New Bobbins).
The collapse of the home situation is probably a euphemism to mean that the situation is that the home collapsed.
Also apparently Glam Dirndle’s name means “valley of the otters” so I’m gonna blame his home collapse on otter infestation. Otters dug tunnels in his walls and ate his roof’s support beams. Just the kind of things that happen to Gloom Dingus.
I am not impressed by his employers, who aren’t paying him enough to rent a room somewhere as a home base. You’d think that after a year of not having to pay rent or buy much stuff (because he’d have to carry it around with him) he’d have saved enough to get a foothold somewhere. Get yourself a better job, Dreyman!
To skirt minimum wage law, all employees are based in Turks and Caicos and traveling for work
Grlg needs… a careers advisor. Which is what Lottie supposedly tested out to be suited for. It’s jobbies all the way down.
I’m picturing glynn as played by robert powell in full “man loses mind in a hell of his own making” mode
Oh, hey, looks like we’re rolling right into more Solver when this storyline is done.
