Adam said, ‘Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me every day. Now I do not see you any more. I am lonesome here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me.’And God said ‘No problem. I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourself.’ And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and it wagged its tail. And Adam said, ‘Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.’ And God said, ‘No problem. Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him Dog.’ And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved him. And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail. After a while, it came to pass that Adam’s guardian angel came to the Lord and said, ‘Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock and he believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved, but perhaps too well.’ And the Lord said, ‘No problem. I will create for him a companion who will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know that he is not always worthy of adoration.’ And God created Cat to be a companion to Adam. And Cat would not obey Adam. And when Adam gazed into Cat’s eyes, he was reminded that he was not the Supreme Being. And Adam learned humility. And God was pleased. And Adam was greatly improved. And Dog was happy. And Cat didn’t care one way or the other.
When life gives you lemons, ask yourself: Did I ask for lemons? Do I even like lemons? If not, send the darn things back and go get what you want. Its rare that life actually just hands you anything of value, but you can find it on your own if you look and work for it. Lemons? Blechh!
i bought a bag of lemons for my water and fish. Out of the entire bag of lemons, there was one seed. Everyone is so addicted to sugar and alcohol, I doubt stores sell lemonade with any lemons in it at all. They sell sugar though, basically because Americans are all addicted to it and seriously, that needs to stop. SPIRITS (aka alcohol) and sugar never healed anyone, or “bettered” anything. It gets a lot of innocent people killed though, not to mention, backs up the true JUSTICE system MAJORLY.

You’re going to find the outside world rather harsh when you have to face it alone, Bucky. Remember there are ferrets out there.

Well I have to give Bucky credit for his play on words in the last panel. But IRL I don’t think anyone gets salmonella from salmon.

I always liked Sam but Ella was an acquired taste.

For once Bucky is right: you can’t make anything good out of salmon.

Kinda reminds me of the famous singing group of sammy Davis Jr. and Ella Fitzgerald. They called it Sam & Ella. Didn’t go well…

It’s not Olive Oyl’s NATURE to be a STAR anymore than it’s Bucky’s NATURE to NOT eat salmon!

I don’t know how Darby Conley thinks up all these crazy, funny things! I sure do enjoy them, though.
