Poor Fred. Always the alien dog, never the flower girl. Wenches get everything, man.
Dawn’s Actual Wedding Experience:
We had our ceremony outdoors, and although early November is usually pretty mild here… it was just under 50 degrees that day. Lets just say I’ll bet our photographer never got those group shots done as fast than at our wedding.
The mothers and fathers got along just fine throughout, my dad is not the threatening type, and the lampshade/golf-club-free groomsmen were in their places when my dad and I walked along the rustic patio path from the mansion to the “overlook” stairs where we tied the knot. We did not have a flower girl or ring bearer, or a big procession for that matter. Our ceremony was a whopping 8 minutes long and featured 2 readings by the mothers, one being “Oh the Places You’ll Go” by Dr. Suess.
Snot-Ski? That’s hilarious.
Those flower girl wenches are always trying to upstage the bride too, looking all cute, tossing their petals here and there. Don’t feel bad Fred, you’d made too good of a flower girl, your talents are better served at a royal wedding….or maybe on the Bachelor/Bachelorette wedding episodes.
Have to admit, I borrowed “snot-ski” from my husband. He calls me that when I’m sick and congested. I know, how endearing.
I would put money on the fact that Fred actually watches those shows. Well, of course I would. I WRITE the dang strip! heh heh
I love the little detail of the Supervisor STILL being chased by Lamp Guy. ‘Bout time he got his comeuppance! 🙂
ha ha, glad you noticed! I love throwing in little details.
I love the length of the ceremony, and the chosen reading. Best. Wedding. Ever.
heh, you know ya did good when people who weren’t even AT your wedding (no offense) LOVE your wedding.
Thanks, Winnie ;0)
Yeah, sorry – I guess I could’ve been clearer about the fact that I am living vicariously through Z&F updates and didn’t actually go! (P.S. None taken!)
I literally just started reading this comic last week . It was advertised as a banner at one of the other comics I follow (In His Likeness) and I read the latest couple comics and was drawn in by it and read all the back comics in one sitting. It was very funny and my type of humor, and Fred is totally my favorite. I love that the humans have just accepted he has a sock pinned to his butt with out further question. Anyway, Im also going back and reading posts you have written with the comics and I enjoy your stories. Congratulations on your marriage and I cannot wait to read your new material. BTW, your wedding outfit looks like something Oprah herself would have worn, and was very classy!
You just made my day! Thank you SO much for this comment. It’s very helpful to hear some honest first impressions…. and to know where new readers come from! I have been doing a very extensive ad campaign these last 2 weeks, getting a lot of traffic, and it’s GREAT to hear from someone who the campaign reached.
I cannot believe you read through everything! wow, that’s quite a feat. Thank you, friend ;0)
and that’s the first time I have ever been compared to Oprah, ha. Thanks, I’m glad I am from a time where I can put my own touch on a wedding ensemble.
Keep in touch!
Well you are welcome, I am glad I made you feel happy.

New Reader rocks! By the way, Dawn, a belated congratulations on the wedding! (And thanks again for your anniversary wishes!) Keep rockin’ together, even if it’s a matching pair of rocking chairs. Long Live Z&F!
New Reader DOES rock! Welcome aboard, “JB”.
Thanks Pam, that’s such a cute little line about rocking chairs, d’aww.
Ohh, yeah. Got my darling a rocking chair for Xmas. We got it goin’ on. 😉
Awww…it’s nice to know that Fred is so sweetly sentimental. 😀
