I became a Marine at 18; that’s all that matters to me (Happy early Marine Corps Birthday, Marines!) Probably because the rest of my life has been full of failure. Looking pretty good lately, though. :-)
In the Pearls Before Swing strips in which “Bob the Neighbor” was featured, as a woman I would have to say that Bob is wife-less because it is a bit boring! LOL!!
Being a lefty myself, I tend to notice others who are as well, and it seems as if everyone in this strip is a southpaw. Or have I just not been reading it long enuf?
I received an email once from the “Pulitizer Prize Committee” that one of my novels was shortlisted. After I stopped laughing at the idea of a romance even being nominated, I decided I didn’t want to send my entry fee to Nigeria for processing.

Thank goodness, pulled pork isn’t on the menu else Pig would be eaten by then. Sorry Pig but you have such tasty bits.

Pig figured out HOW to get a pizza. Ned will never figure out HOW to do the things on his list.

An equally realistic life plan: win the lottery. Not likely, but it involves less writing.

I don’t think it’s all that unusual for a pig’s train of thought to be any longer than the period until it’s next meal.

Pig is more practical than nerdy Neighbor Ned. Besides, pizza is better than that other stuff Neddy lusts after….
