Betty by Gary Delainey and Gerry Rasmussen for October 14, 2018

I am not a fan of Alex. But I suppose in many ways, she’s also a reminder of real people around us. Not bad – but not really admirable either…

Wow, first time we’ve seen Alex in a while!

I don’t use pineapples for decoration; I eat them… real ones, that is.

Another vicious circle.

I have a real saguaro cactus——-he is 15 years old, 11" tall and I grew him from seed. His name is Shorty.

It doesn’t make sense. Cactus should be what replaced pineapple. It`s pen-apple-pineapple-cactus! :D Now, I don’t make sense…

Love the second panel! (The one about vampires.)

Buy what you like. Trends come and go.

It takes me forever to gather the pieces to decorate a room. Once it’s done to my satisfaction, I’m not about to undo everything and start over.

They’re pointing out how ridiculous it is to give a hoot what “is in.” If you and yours like it, then do it. If not, then don’t. Why care whether some fashion reporter has declared it in or out?
