Maybe you shouldn’t have dumped that handsome dude way back when, Opal

Is that Steve Canyon?

Time to hit the Trail, Opal!

I always wondered if the people in the funnies were real…

Except for references in other comics, I haven’t seen Mark Trail in decades. I’d forgotten about Cherry. What, she’d be Opal’s age by now?

This is what they call getting old and senile!

Time to go and read the paper Earl. That might bring Opal crashing back to reality.

Oh let her dream. Part of the fun of watching anything on TV is if there is eye candy to look at and a lot of it is half my age. Men do it all the time so why not us ladies?

Is that Mark Trail in her fantasy? Looks like it to me, and he is another comic character.

Mark Trail is alive and well and online at Seattle Pi

She just got tired of looking at Earl, and dreamed up some nice eye candy

I wonder if Earl is imagining Daisy Mae.

machushlalondra Well put!

I’m sure a lot of us out there would like to have a “do over” about one thing or another. The ones that don’t are fortunate!

Good one, Lonewolfe.

When late in life you think you would rather have your druthers, go ahead and look up your druther. You may well find your druther to be disfunctional, ugly or plain dead.
