And she married Ty. How cute.

She looks so vacuous that maybe dot’s all there is to her.

Classy name tag!

Why does her dot have antenna? Did she put someone on the spot and they spilled?

Aaah! Wasn’t that the girl you were DOTing on? Yeah, I guess – I have the DOTal recall… although I suffer from DOTage a bit since the last 5 decades…

Dots right.

com on now

I’ll bet their dogs’ name is Spot.

She does look a little dotty, doesn’t she?

Is that her sister right behind her – DOTS?

BTW, she married into the Matrix family…..”Dot Matrix”

As an amateur radio operator (Ham), I was honored to go to high school with a young lady named Dorothy Dasch.

Looks like she’s having her period…

Oy

Okay, I’ll buy it. Better than a paper tape name tag with a “Year Graduated” on it.

Her sister’s name is “Dot”.

Some of us remember when there was a whole comic book series called “Little Dot,” about a girl who was obsessed with dots — who not only wore a dress with polka dots, she compulsively painted dots on everything. (Her full name as I recall, was Dot Polka.) This was one of several Harvey comic books focused on children with mental disorders, like “Little Lotta” about a girl who clearly had an eating disorder on top of whatever was happening with her hormones.

“… of course, Dash! We remember your wife, Dot…

… so how are the kids, Splotch and Splat, right?”

Dots a nice name.

Self explanatory?

Can she polka?

Why does Dots husband have running shoes on?

At least no one forgot her name.

No bindi?

She’s a bit superficial.

“My wife is Dotty.” “Maybe so, I can’t judge, but what’s her name?”

Does she work for the Department of Transport?

For everybody that gave today’s cartoon a “like,” I hope Rat from Pearls before Swine comes with his mallet to visit you! :-)

I see Bleeb is working the room. Let me know if you see The Lost Wizard, Leojim or Po’Dawg Little Alien Dude. We miss them! :)

“And my sister-in-law is Ditto.”

Anyone here old enough to remember the “Little Dot” comics? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/e1/Litdot.jpg/220px-Litdot.jpg

“Wanna se pictures of our kids ? Com, Net and Org.”

Theirs must be a holey matrimony.

That’s it, period.

Wonder what gave that away?

Black Hole?

Actually that’s a black hole. Slipped down from ear level

… and this is my husband “Dolt”.
