Reality Check by Dave Whamond for December 02, 2023

Wendy from Never Never Land with Peter Pan?

A friend of mine was 6 mos. pregnant when she and her husband went to Disneyland. She was bound and determined that it wasn’t going to stop her from enjoying the rides. On her third time around getting onto the Space Mountain roller coaster, the attendant said: “Excuse me, ma’am, are you pregnant?” She responded: “I beg your pardon!” and the poor guy was very embarrassed.

Long ago a British born executive at my company asked one of our female draftsmen, who was pregnant, “When do you pop the screamer?” She had to think a bit, then laughed. No big deal in the 60s.

I remember how Wendy claimed he was the father.

I have a whole bunch of awkward conversations going on right now. I hope everything can be worked out peacefully.

Hoo-boy! … you are so scrooooged!

Ahh, a frequent 2am visitor at my house.

I have a lifetime of these. It is weird cringing about something stuppid you said 30 years ago.

“Unless a man actually sees a baby emerging from a woman’s body he should never imply that she looks pregnant.” Dave Barry

It’s really none of your business. Post warning signs where necessary, but never ask unless you’re an ob/gyn/midwife acting in professional capacity.

Scrooge was hoping for just another silent night.

I thought Wendy flew away with Peter…or is that another Wendy?

He wanted to find out Wendy baby was due.

Yikes! Now you’ll have to go back and see how it ruined her life.

Wendy drink hit his eye

like a big wave on high,

that’s NOT amore …!

( how about a “B-” for effort? “C”? )

Well, many middle-aged ladies do love the seamstresses at Omar The Tent Maker.

Oh, gosh. This is even more terrifying that the original Dickens version. Great gag, Dave!

great art, Dave!
