Better love lives
Updates are now Monday to Thursday. Working on getting far enough ahead to be able to plug the Friday gap too.
Len and Peter’s relationship clearly goes way back. In whatever painful divorce they went through, it’s clear that Len got the neckties and Peter got the hair.
So happy you’re doing a (semi) daily again. Please don’t die or get kidnapped.
Can I kidnap him if I promise to make him draw comics every day on a life-support machine of my own invention (*note:* work in progress)?
TIM. NO. STOP. You remember what happened last time!
This story is a large loving cat which is carrying me along in an oversized sock knitted out of confusion and slight concern. It’s extremely comfortable and I’m glad to be here.
The other big romantic advantage of East Germany was that the constant surveillance by the Stasi made it easy to keep track of grocery lists and the like and to solve family arguments about who said what when.
“Did I not tell him that my mother was coming over?” a housewife might inquire into the flower vase, whereupon the spy in the attic would check his notes, knock twice on the ceiling to signal agreement, and send the husband to a re-education camp
SPECIAL, maybe? Oh, right. Special projects.
So East German lessons are that a) men will use any means necessary to woo a woman, being sensitive and thoughtful are a last resort, and b) that tactic must work. Otherwise men would be forced to be sensitive in West German if not everywhere already. This comic is making me sad.
On a lighter note, some women feel pity and have a sense of humor in their life choices, as my wife and two kids stand as proof of. Thank goodness for women who see their biological imperative with a little mirth.
