They don't need to. Their disbelief in her finding such a good guy is insult enough

So Charles is like Candace Owens/uncle Ruckus?

The thing that is hilarious about the impending disaster is that Lucy is just as much of a wholesome nerd as Danny, but we all know THAT isn’t going to be what Linda and Charles see.

I´m amazed they managed this many panels without insulting Sal. of course, it helps that they don´t talk about Sal

I completely agree and yet at the same time I am dying laughing at Linda calling Danny 'the goodest boy' because how can she do something so horrible as comparing poor Danny to a dog while simultaneously being so right? Danny is an anthropomorphic puppy, for cripes's sake!

Even when they’re being relatable, the Walkerton parents are judgmental assholes

Thanks, I hate them even more now. Poor Sal.

Having a kid hold up a convenience store at knifepoint would plausibly make things awkward for a lot of parental relationships. I award them the “having a little faith” status for continuing to be involved in both their kids’ education and visiting them (without selling their childhood home or dropping off nine tons of tubs of childhood stuff.)
In attempt to ward off any “if you love them so much why don’t you marry them” comments pre-emptively, I wish to highlight that “having a little faith” is a deliberate and major distinction from saying “they are perfect people who are 110% healthy parents who treat their kids super fairly”.

Man, I feel so much for Sal, wanting to be what your parents want while simultaneously knowing that it's a ridiculous expectation. But then trying anyway!

With one crucial difference, of course.

Their son also bagged a (mostly) wholesome nerd, wonder if that'll come into play at all.

Okay, Charles, I wanna believe you when you say you're 'a big fan' of your daughter's but you kinda ruin it with your disbelief earlier and the current strip. FFS, have a little faith in her!
Out of the two, I have more hope for him. Linda, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop
