Brevity by Dan Thompson for August 13, 2021

Meanwhile, she just sewed her sweater to the quilt.

Dan, don’t quilt your day job.

No, she’s just a little sew-and-sew.

If he doesn’t stop needling her, she’s going to needle him!

maybe she could just reduce the size and make a small comforter…

Good yarn today.

No baby for me. Maybe a grandchild.

There are at least 4 types of puns:BadGoodSo bad it’s good (this one)So bad it goes past good and back to bad

Brevity has them all.

Sew far sew good for the man. It seems he got by with that little bit of humor – that’s probably enough. Be there. Listen. Empathize. Ask if there is something you can do. If she asks you something or asks for something, that’s fine to answer and respond. But … Don’t try to solve her problem for her. Do not give unsolicited advice. … I think?

Amazing how critical people can be about a comic drawing. A slender woman wouldn’t be easy to draw under a quilt and a slim man eating cookies just wouldn’t seem right. On the other hand, a quilt for a baby shower wouldn’t be that large — it would be for the baby and so would have to fit in a crib (~30″×40″) or a car seat (~18″×20″). I have found that moms often prefer the ‘car seat’ size because they need more of them than crib blankets.

I know a few quilters that don’t suffer from this at all – it’ll get done when it gets done.

There are actually people who spell “guilty” that way. I’ve also seen people mention the quitar, and a friend’s last name spelled McQuire.

They are few and far between, but the ones I’ve encountered just make me want to guit trying.

That must have been a blanket statement.
