Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for October 01, 2018

It’s going to take a very long time, Pasquale, with your two lovebird parents.

But a kiss has no calories, no sugar, and no carbohydrates. Plus a kiss is very good for ones heart!!

In case anyone missed it, the operative word here is love. There is no substitute for it and no synonym that improves it.

This is what they mean by “a bushel and a peck”.

Pasquale, look on the bright side….at least your parents still love one another and aren’t afraid to show it!

They’re doubling down on temptation.

An apple a day keeps the snakes away.

We have to look at the ultimate objective here, Pasquale. Apples are in there somewhere, I guess; but only somewhere.

Holy Garden of Eden, Batman!

Why not?

Sure they will, Pasquale. It’ll just take longer and be more fun!

Ah to have a relationship like that!!!

I remember seeing a strip in one of my book collections that I have NOT seen here in the archives. Rose was telling Pasquale that she was in a terrible hurry that morning and had to rush breakfast; were scrambled eggs OK? Pasquale replied that he’d rather have “Apples and minutes.” Rose stopped and stared at him. The last panel was on the back porch, munching apples and reflecting that there are various kinds of healthy breakfasts.
