Rick: Sorry I'm a little late, babe. I got tied up at the office. Joanie: A little late? Try a half out! Do you know how embarrassing it is to be here puffing away without you? Woman: Excuse me, is that your husband? Joanie: Uh... yes, it is. Woman: What a relief! You looked so alone! We were beginning to feel really sorry for you. Joanie: See? Do I need this? Man: We thought you were an unwed mother or something.

“Tosser!” . . . I like the sound of that!This strip calls to mind: back when I was working, I was interested in doll collecting and creating, and would bring a doll magazine to read while I had lunch at PoFolks. When I brought my husband along one night, some of the waitresses were swooning with delight, to see that I wasn’t just an old maid sitting alone with her doll magazines.

After I retired, I tried my hand at doll design and creating, and was bored out of my gourd! I much prefer reading GoComics and pontificating to you guys.
