    No pet name that starts with Ol’ will ever win her over. I like Dorothy Glenn’s idea … catch yourself in time to change that “Ol” into “All”.

    Evidently “Ol’ Yeller” was too accurate.

    If my hubby told me “I love my Ol’ Ball and Chain” I’d reply, “That’s nice you Old Fart”, with a smile. It’s all a game.

    My Grandma called me Pookie when I was a child. I kept the “tradition” going by calling my husband Pookie (with a y)

    Pro tip: The female partner’s nickname should never ever be something that rhymes with “nookie”. Particularly offensive is “wookie”.

    NEVER call you wife “Ol’ Sourpuss”, “Ol’ Ball an Chain”, “Ol’ Faithful”, “Ol’ Foot Warmer”, “Ol’ Titslinger” or any other variation that contains “Ol’”….

    Arlo should have stopped after “Pookie.”

    Don’t know the background of their ages, but I suspect Arlo is a tad older than Janis. If anyone should be called ol’ it’s him.

    My initial impression here is that Arlo stopped in time and didn’t add what he thought was a “term of endearment”, when he realized that he, as a mere husband, didn’t have nine lives. But apparently there was an “exchange” of some sort between panels 3 and 4.

    I have often told my wife that whatever wrinkles or smile lines or stretch marks or whatever that she sees on herself does nothing to diminish her beauty to me. Both because I certainly have them and they represent the lessons I have learned in life and because I can’t imagine having a relationship with someone who didn’t have some life lessons already. If I were in a relationship with someone who doesn’t have that – I don’t know what I would really have to offer, because such lessons are part of the experience of living. It doesn’t change that we do what we can to keep our bodies and minds healthy.

    Arlo should have been sporting a black eye in the last panel to make more sense.
