In Security by Bea R. for June 29, 2018

Twenty minutes into Billy Bud, Roy will lean over and wiapwr into Charlene’s ear, “Is this in English?”

Yet last year instead of celebrating all we got was a shot of Sedine’s butt?! Completely worth it! XD

I wonder what opera they’re seeing? “The Barber of Seville” perhaps? We all know how much Roy loves barbers!

If they’re going to see “Salome” Charlene may just lose her man once the actress starts her dance of seven veils! They should go see “Samson and Delilah”, that way if Roy goes on stage he’ll at least get a haircut. XD

I’ve only ever seen one opera performed live on stage, rather cleverly “Subtitled” in English via text display.

And I actually think I know which opera they are going to see …

Pitty it is opera and not ballet.

Roy is all set for some Copland.

My second guess for which opera they might be seeing …

Live opera? Never.

PDQ Bach twice.

As of 2:10am ET, we’re pacing just ahead of “Luann.”

He should’ve worn the mustache.

Roy looks normal only because his hair grows back so quickly. Eyes on Charlene’s barrette. Let’s soon get rid of it. A Night at the Opera? Marx Brothers have it covered.

Roy looks, odd

I’m guessing it’s not the Ring Cycle by Wagner…

Yeah,right,normal.

I hope they are going to see either Bugs Bunny’s “The Rabbit of Seville” or “What’s Opera, Doc”.

Charlene is looking good.

So Charlene is 30 today, woo hoo. Beautiful!

Aww Roy looks so adorable. As for the opera, as long as it’s Carmen you’ll survive Roy. In fact you probably will like it if it’s Carmen your going to see

They almost have matching heel heights XD

Must be a horse opera…

I have always been surprised that Ernie Kovacs never did a music skit with that Aida march.

Three drunks come out of a bar, stagger about, stumble into the construction site and turn on the jackhammers.

His tux may be for Grand Opera, but his boots are strictly for the Grand Ole Opry.

C’mon, Roy. Indulge Charlene for her birthday.

Heck, you could do what Mickey did when he had to go the opera with Minnie on “Bad Ear Day.”

Whoever mentioned “I Pagliacci” has the last minute or so of this playing in my head.

Count your blessings, Roy… It’s either the opera, or the bowl cut.

Why do guys in this comic strip always complain? I’ve been married 32 years and we still go on dates!

Looks like he needs some spurs there…

Actually I have gone to two opera (La Boheme and Madama Butterfly). I enjoyed them about as much as scratching my fingers on a black board (had a headache for weeks after both). It was classic, dignified and yadda yadda, but not my style. Plays I tolerate, musicals I absolutely love, especially dinner theater.

no he looks like a square don’t try to make him feel better tell him the straight truth
