Just want to restate how non-relevant this is to our situation. It was a wine bottle I broke over Rick’s head, not a lamp.
But seriously, the poor guy is covered in poison ivy from all the landscaping work he’s been doing. I don’t feel anything but bad for him right now.
Haha – almost lights out!! 😉
something tells me he might not even have noticed.
What happens after a 14 months? oh wait…I keep saying I have my own company to my wife…*snickers*
Unless she is your accountant too.
yeah, that could get tricky, LOL
Wow! I think my wife used your strip as an instructional handbook. She added in “So are we supposed to eat these pretty little pictures?” herself, though. 🙂
ha ha… that might fall under the “gentle persuasion” category. Or maybe the 5th week: Annoyed sarcasm.
does sound very familiar. But I do have a day job, thank goodness.
NOT THE LAMP!
it’s always the lamp that gets it.
The TRUE ways of women. You just gotta hit us up side the head. We’re like mules…
Hey, do I see some tones in her shirt (or are they called textures? I’m such a dork)! In the “old days” we had to cut and stick those tones on using an X-acto knife!
yeah, you stubborn @$$es. ;0)
Yup, I downloaded a bunch of B&W patterns for Illustrator. Need to use ’em more, forget I even have them! And yes, I know about the “old ways”, X-acto knives and spray mounting pattersn, I’m glad I just waited for technology to catch up. Besides, I did that stuff enough in college for design projects. It’s amazing I still have all my fingers.
‘scuse me aliens — you are observers and are therefore forbidden to interfere or it will taint your research. Let the lamp come down.
And umm — if you want more impact, to the crotch. I’m just say’n.
ha ha, yup… no interference, just like 3rd Rock from the Sun! Oh well, it’s funnier to interfere. That, and being a sorta family strip, trying to avoid excessive violence.
We have all learned from Funniest Home Videos that it’s always funnier to aim for the crotch.
As an owner of one of those “crotch” thingies, we’d appreciate if you aimed a tad higher. Thank you.
actually ive seen that done with a juicer
oh, and a tool box
ouch!
Very perceptive and timely stuff. Of course she will have better results by not using the lamp and instead just shut off his food supply. Nothing gets them off the sofa faster than being hungry. This is a great comic strip and I’m hard pressed to find anything that needs to be changed to make it better.
Hi, and thanks for the comment! Good idea about the food- I should work that in somehow. Maybe the grand finale– how he finally gets motivated: strict vegetarian cooking! LOL
Appreciate the rave reviews!
