Dave is happy, with a big smile …
Haven’t seen this in a while
From him …
Dave has got a girlfriend!

Helen, Mell, and Artie thinking,
“We know Dave’s not stoned or drinking,
So …
Dave has got a girlfriend!”

Man, this scene is such a trip!
Our nerd in a relationship!
Dave, you stud!
He says, “Oh, crud.”
Face-palm!

Dave is happy, cheerful, singing …
Sure sign of the End Time, bringing
Doom!
Dave has got a girlfriend!

My goodness! The panels, they are so wide! I can see everything! I know everything! Oh!

I’m going to assume Artie isn’t shouting that announcement in panel 3 in quite the same gentle mocking tone as the ladies.

Night Shyamalan’s modus operandi. Here, though, it obviously falls under a subcategory of foreshadowing.

Perhaps the “opposite of dramatic irony” ought to be termed “dramatic shyamalany”? <grin>

Speaking of irony and the Tinasky Study, if dramatic irony is when the characters make ironic statements because they’re unaware of things the audience is aware of, what is it when the characters make ironic statements because they’re aware of things the audience is unaware of? ‘Cause whatever it is, we’ve got a lot of it coming up.
