Oh great, all those single women to compete against. And Butl telling her that she is “unique” is the same as telling her she is weird. Which we already knew. So Jer isn’t in the running anymore (because Jerry is running, away, as fast as he can) Joy, that isn’t the kind of “alone” she meant. She means “alone” in, bed, at night.
Sounds like they got their lifetime membership at “Platitudes R Us.” I believe that Burl is truly clueless but Joy, I believe there’s a couple of really sharp sisterly barbs in there for Verla. “I’m so sorry you’re alone, you pitiful loser.”
Nah… Jerry could be back tomorrow or next week, or not for a month of Sundays…. maybe as Verl’s one and only, or maybe as a lying cheat…. (he’s often both.)
Another example of the way Julie uses and re-uses panels, situations and even complete strips….
there’s NO continuity.
Just because Jerry is forgotten one day, or Burl is sick, or Dale got fired…it doesn’t mean the same will apply tomorrow.
Every now and then, Julie digs up related strips, and we see a three day run of a vacation in Florida or a holiday, like Christmas.More often, they’ll be at the Grand Canyon one day and Crust Foods the next, Dale will have two birthdays in three months, and someone will get a Christmas present in October…
What she means is that she wonders if she’ll ever meet someone who doesn’t suddenly remember that he’s in the middle of running a 10K marathon. (When you can’t hook up in Crustwood, you KNOW you’ll never find a place with standards low enough.)
(Hmmm. What’s that? Separate whites and off-whites. Can you guess which pile their underwear goes in?)
(Trick question. Doesn’t matter. They only rinse it out.)
(After, of course, turning it inside out for another wearing.)
BUNS OF STEEL? Must be referring to her hair-buns, which must be ironing-board hard most times from lack of washing and all the hair spray applications. I heard that an errant bird flew into that t’other day and died on impact!!

And PacoP … are you kidding?Both sisters think Burl is a major catch.
Joy adores him, and thinks he’s brilliant; one of the only saving graces of this strip is their devotion to each other.
Verla is torn between admiration and envy, wishing Jerry were half the man Burl is, and would stand by her the way Burl stands by her sister.
Excuse me… I think I need a little Brain Bleach….have you tried our “Creamy Hot Chocolate” flavor?It’s great with a little brandy.

“Lots of single women?” Is she trying to tell us something about her sister??? I need some more brain bleach. Yikes!

Time for Burl to consider fundamental Mormonism.
