No, you don’t know me wellIn every little thing only time will tellBut you believe the things that I doAnd we’ll see it through -

Baby, you know that dreams, they’re for those who sleepLife is for us to keepAnd if I chose the one I’d like to help me throughI’d like to make it with youI really think that we could make it, girl

(Bread, “Make It With You”, from “On The Waters”, 1971)

“♪Our House Will Be A Very Fine House ♫”“Future Memories”

or“A Good Time In A Timeless Space”

When a husband and wife enjoy expressions of love together, in a private and cozy space, far more, yes- far more than the physical enjoyment that they enjoy, an emotional bond is formed, that builds a house that no real estate developer could ever hope to sell, that no contractor could ever build, let alone maintain… – It is crafted, day in and day out.. so that whether time is lightning in the air, or crawling as the sleepy shadows of the night, it will be the memories that are the fruition of these bonds… it’s the memories that feed and nourish the mind, heart and loving spirit, as well as stoking the flames of passion… so much so, that that memory echoes on, even when the body does not always keep pace…

“Brought to you”, by:Stallmark Greeting Cards… “When you wanted to send the very best, but forgot to do it, yesterday”… – Al Urgie, Florist… “Looking for that extraordinary, matchless special touch? Spray… uh… that is, say it with beautiful flowers!”… “With Al Urgie’s, it’snotaproblem!”… – And by… Cribbuilder Records.. “Your musical home of ‘Luooooove, Sweet Luooove’ from all of the greats… have you heard of Barry White, Lou Rawls, Ronald Isley, the Righteous Brothers, Barry Manilow, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Marvin Gaye?… Yeah, we have, too!..”

“Sweet Love”, Anita Baker“Baby I’m-A Want You”, Bread“Our House”, CSNY“Call It Love”, Poco“Wonderful, Wonderful!”, Johnny Mathis

“Will we ever notice?” There is a promise to be kept.

Humminahumminahummina!!!

No we ain’t gonna notice!….Cause we gonna be bizeeee!!!

Nostalgia, or Brad’s parents don’t notice their bedroom decor either.

Relax, and enjoy the superior feeling you get when you realize that you are not being the infantile one. She is just teasing you.

Somewhere, Levi is crying in his beer, for he was surely hoping they’d have ample time to notice.

53

Just the fact that they’re focusing on other things, like the home tour, shows that they have spent much time “together”.

People who write"1st" on comment boards are either 30-year-old virgins living in their mother’s basement, or 13-year-old dweebs who will become 30-year-old virgins. We shouldn’t deny them the only pleasure in their dull, dreary, boring, miserable, useless lives.

Wait till he shows her the shower….

“Hi Memory.” – HA!!!!

Cute, Toni; very cute. Yes, Brad is a memory made in that bedroom. And, yes, you and he will in due course be making some memories of your own.I like the direction this is taking, but am wary of possible pitfalls ahead before the long-anticipated wedding actually takes place.

1st-Hey kid, how many times did you click into this strip before the day changed, just to be first?

You are aware that the strip is posted online about 11 minutes after midnight CST1

I think we can safely say that Toni’s final comment definatly falls under the category of “Hint, hint, wink, wink”

You’re over the top with your cuteness. Put a lid on it. ^Let the recor(trilled r sound)rrd show that the word ugliness was nowhere to be found….

Why the Hell is Brad showing Toni his parents bedroom for? What about their privacy? What are they going to do now rummage through his mother’s panty drawer?

“And Here is My Parent’s Bedroom?”“Lot’s pf Memories were MADE Here?!!?”

YE CATS!!!!

ATTENTION Greg Evans: No, Let Me Repeat, NO Single Guy In His RIGHT Friggin’ MIND would take ANY Girl, SHOW Her His PARENTS Bedroom and SAY Something as RIDICULOUS as THAT!!!

Brad, You Might as well had gone on with the Rest of Family to Aunt Vicks and Endured one of Her Bone Crushing Bear-hugs because that looks like the ONLY Action You’re gonna GET This Week, BONE-HEAD!!!

And, too, a home run isn’t always off of the first pitch… sometimes, the other times are just “practice”, Lol!…

might as well paint it FLESH colored…that’s the only color they’ll ever see!

Today’s strip brought to you by the colors lavender and teal, the number 17, and the letters B and T. ^ Funny, too, how the color teal started showing up in sports teams all over the place during the 90s, like with the Hornets, the Jags, the Pistons, the Grizzlies, the Marlins, the San Jose Sharks, among others…

Wow! Lavender and teal bedroom, Ochre/Puce Kitchen… hate to see the basement…

WHOA !!!!! I like her style !!

Sucks to be you.

Well, of course he’s not cherry. None of these kids are, except for Gunther. They’ve all been doing it. Brad isn’t a virgin either. Toni for sure isn’t, and has been around the block a few times…

Wonder if after this weekend they will have to have the wedding earlier?

DOH!

Well, of course not.

They’ll be sleeping, and it’ll be dark.

Duh.

0:)

Don’t be mean.

So, were you hoping no one would comment on your fixation on people who post first?

Just let ‘em have thier little victories. It’s not hurting you…

Hotttt whew!!!!!!!!!!!

Yawn…

or barf…

Surely the theme song today is the Dean Martin hit, “Memories Are Made of This”. But lavender and teal, in 2013? It’s time to buy a bucket of paint and some new bedspreads, Frank and Nancy.

Brad you idiot! Stop wasting time! You have the whole house to yourself with your hot fiancé and no parents, Luann or Bratty Shannon and you’re giving her a tour of the house?! The tour should have ended at your bedroom! LOL!

how cute that she called him ‘memory’ sweetest thing I’ve seen in this comic strip in a while

GoComics posts the new day’s strips at about 1:10 AM Eastern Time. I wonder what would happen if the same software that posts the strips also automatically posted a “First!” message at the same time. Would people start competing to post “Second!”?

For most healthy young adults that would have been the end, but you must remember that Brad is saving himself for marriage. Notice the speed that he got her out of his room yesterday.--that’s cause they didn’t want to use the little bed.

Brad, you are being a little slow, aren’t you? Hesitation, procrastination, fear?

To all those who make yourself feel superior by picking on a youngster, you are a bunch of bullies, and bullies are not nice.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Brain bleach! Brain bleach! For mercy’s sake, someone fetch me the brain beach!

This is sweet and a little sexy without going overboard. Good writing.

jay blue sure gets a lot of ink on the front page of the comments.

Hate to disillusion y’all (Toni included)..*but word has it, in a successful marriage sex is secondary to such things as money, listening, mutual beliefs, family support.*But you’re married and I’m not. Is this true?

You speak only for yourself

Geez, don’t be such a grouch!

I enjoy your lists… you put some good ones together!… – This one is really close, though….I’d feel guilty choosing one of these choices over any other….

You might as well give up on this; Evans is showing by today’s comic that there will be (and may already have been) ‘Bibilical knowledge’.

Good one!

Purple with pink polka-dots might get noticed….“after” awhile!!!

At the point where Darsan54 was responding to you, you had posted two things. One was a grouchy comment to a teen who likes the idea of being the first poster, and the second was your response to IamJay’s very poetic discussion of a good marriage.-Given those two posts of yours, I’m thinking Darsan’s response was right on the money…

“However if I was showing a girl my parents house I would include the bedroom.”_____________________________________

Well SURE, You would SHOW a Gal YOUR Bedroom and NOT Your Parent’s fer Pete’s Sake!

THAT Action Just Shifted the “ICK” Factor into HIGH Gear. One MORE Thing: What Right does Brad Have to Violate the Privacy of His Parent’s Bed Chamber anyway? Brad Shouldn’t EVEN Be in There Himself, not to mention Bringing in a Person that Ma DeGroot can barely Tolerate.

“No, I would show them the entire house. Including all of the bedrooms. Why not, she would see the bathrooms too?”

When my husband shows our house he always wants to show them our bedroom closet! It really annoys me.

“No, I would show them the entire house. Including all of the bedrooms. Why not, she would she would see the bedrooms to?”_____________________________________

Well That’s FINE if You’re gonna SELL Your House like they do on that durn “House Hunters” show. (I SWEAR, what IS it with the Ladies and Their Desire for Granite Counter Tops anyway??)

Look, I DON’T wanna START a Fight so Close to the Holidays. I just think it is inappropriate for Brad to Show Toni His Parent’s Bedroom that all.

Now EVERYONE Lighten Up and Play NICE,

“you assume to speak for every single guy otut there> delusions of grandeur maybe?”_____________________________________

No, Joel. I DON’T speak for every single guy otut there.Far FROM IT.

I DO, However, SPEAK for the TREES!!!!

What is the novel about?

Sounds like a perfect day to me!

Sure they will…much sooner then they think.

Bow chicka wow wow

“Levitius”?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Last! :)

Ha ha ha!

What’s up with those racist lips on that girl? That’s offensive.

Once. I live in a convenient time zone.

Test pattern….
