Who says you can’t still crap in a bucket? Bring one on in and go crazy!! Just remember: if it’s brown, throw it out the window like a clown, if yellow, do it in the shower when no one watches and act real mellow.
At least they are down to only one gun. And Charlene has some nice legs and…uh…assets, well, you know, for a cartoon character. Thanks for manning up Roy.
Love how Charlene’s visit on the branch mirrors their first meeting. That she can climb a tree in that dress, wearing those heels, bodes well for the footwork and dexterity she’ll need raising the girls and chasing down Roy for his annual haircut. While Roy should be reflecting on missing the bear, rather than waxing scatological, the middle panel is especially fetching. Wake up, Roy. Count yer blessings.
Spent 10 years in the Canadian Arctic. Not a lot of small settlements had flush, just good ol’ honey bucket and a can of Mistovan. And the spring ritual of dumping gas on honey bucket hill and tossing in a flare. Easy to spot the honey truck, even the ravens stayed away.
Char makes a lovely bride but I’d prefer my freedom if I were in Roy’s shoes. It’s the 1-2 punch of marriage and a baby that would make me run for the hills… and the bucket!
I protest in the strongest terms! Given his nature, that is NOT the decision Roy would come to. Family life for a weasel like that is abhorrent, and he is a negative role model for kids.¶ He prefers the life of a bear, or living with a bear, preferably his other bride Sing Ho, upon whom he exercised his weaseldom by abandoning her after she had helped set up his inverse seduction by the closet succubus Charlene.¶ When news of the betrayal reaches her, she will probably become a reclusive cave bear, gorging on Hunny until she can’t exit the access port, then dying of misery with only memories of the good times to console her, memories of the high hilarity whenever Roy fell into one of his buckets on nights during the dark of the moon when Nature called.

Charlene’s dad looks disappointed that he didn’t get to shoot Roy.

Take the kids with you. Somebody needs to teach them how to have fun in the woods with bears and fishing.

You showed you were not that into doing your own thing when you did Charlene, Roy.

No, you can’t stay up there forever. Soon’s she climbs down, that branch becomes a free fire zone.

Out of the tree
Now look to see
Our happy wedded couple.
He is a mess
Her stunning dress
Hides lovely legs so supple.
Goodbye to bears
Life of few cares
No thoughts of indoor plumbing.
First child due
Then Gabby too
The joys just keep on coming.

The look of her in the third panel is now melting my heart….mop needed!

Besides – she looks better than the bears… and probably smells better, too.

Hanging out with wild animals should give Roy plenty of practice for raising kids.

Amazing ‘ruffle’ detail on the dress in #1

Did we ever find out who the Nickolas referred to in the August 17 strip is?

Well, Roy, looks like your plan worked a little better than expected… with a slight touch of serendipity.

Odd how he hangs out with bears, yet it’s everyone in her family that can lay their hands on shotguns at the drop of a home pregnancy test.
