Confusion.

Jonah is definitely buttering up Maria for something, though I have no idea what. After the first panel, though, the strip sort of peters off into nonsense. It would be a lot less confusing if they weren't so obviously trying to illustrate that Jonah is something. Is Jonah attempting to skip out on the check? Why would he skip out on a check when he's obviously keen on paying? Why, exactly, are Maria Lopez and him out on the town in the first place? I hope we get back to Spider-Man or Doctor Octopus or something soon.
