I'm beginning to think that maybe Anthony's wife has a good reason for her attitude...

I sure wouldn't want my husband hanging out with somebody who thinks the only way he can be part of her life is if they have an affair.

I mean, why can't they just go out for coffee? Surely it's still legal to have married friends?

But no, Elizabeth's first assumption is "OMG SEX!"

She's clearly insane, and I want her away from any guy I might possibly be interested in ever.

I don't know. She didn't say "I don't want to have sex with a married man," she said "I'm no home wrecker." This, to me, doesn't necessarily carry an implication of sex; it just carries an implication that whatever it is they're about to do, from sex to drinking coffee, is something that his wife wouldn't approve of and would be angry about if she found out.

It's obvious to me that E doesn't mind talking to him, because, well, that's what they're doing. "I just want to talk," he says, and she chirps back with "OK!"

But then again, maybe deconstruction of individual comic strips is a waste of both our time. :D

I'm more in agreement with your perception of it...and with the physical way he's been reacting and the things he's been saying, I can see where she feels he wants to be more intimate with her (if even emotionally so).
