    Will that novel Rat is writing even win a Pulitzer?

    In more ways than one, this is a lackluster story.

    It’s still a better love story than Twilight.

    I’m bracing myself for the chapter on the Orthodontist.

    Too much lust going on. Not realistic.

    Nothing about the cat horking up on the carpet? What a fantasy…

    I guess they’re not staying up for New Year’s.

    I wouldn’t mind having to think about replecing the roof. We are 7 years into a 50-year warranty. I’ll be 109 by then!

    I haven’t put gas in the truck since 2009. There cupboards and fridge always have food even if I don’t go shopping. Somehow, the floors get vacuumed after my sewing mess is done. If I don’t want to drive to the fabric store, he takes me. Bonus- he has a very cute behind- he’s a cowboy and I love to watch him walk. Now THAT’S romance for me after more than 30 yrs.

    Real life has a nasty habit of interfering with one’s expectations.

    The third year can be dangerous as well.

    Rat could be the author of a long-running continuing series of Romance Novels—one for every year of marriage! The sheer excitement boggles the mind! Tales of Lusty Lust, vol. 37….

    Completely unrealistic, Rat. There’s no way in heII he looks like that after 10 years.

    Such a spot-on comic that I’m adding it to my favorites! Another hit, Stephan!

    And that’s the end of my run through all the 2017 Pearls Before Swine strips! Whew, almost 10 months in just 3 days… Not too shabby! Maybe the next time my other favorite comic strip, Big Nate, goes on a long 6-month rerun-filled hiatus, I would continue reading and commenting Pearls strips until that hiatus is over, and after the 11th Pearls treasury comes out and I read that, then I would continue filling in the blanks. Know what I mean? Goodbye for now, Pearls fans!
