and I cherish that

that job is the pits

Atom Man, meet Atomizer Woman.

Yeah, that Velma’s a giver…

She might get a punch in face in return…

We could all use more people like Velma.

Think she’s using Secret on him?

She learned she could kill two birds with one stone if she used lemon scented Raid® Ant & Roach spray.

“Now turn and switch arms.”

She’s Dial-ed into her Secret mission. She might even give someone the Axe. Or maybe not, she’s a Dove at heart. But she has had a Degree of success especially with some Bruts since she never lets down her Right Guard.

If that’s hairspray I’m gonna applaud.

Where’d she find the spray deodorant?

He retaliates with Feminine Hygiene Spray.

Don’t use that Axe Body Spray, Velma! According to TV sitcom nerds, I’m given to understand that the women will be all over him!

Bleeb should be safe. :)

Not ALL superheroes wear capes!

For a funny bit, go to Youtube and search “Jim Gaffigan Deodorant.”

A little fresh aerosol he needs.

That’s assault with a smelly weapon.

Give him the the axe, axe, axe.

Hypocrite! Look who gets to sit down!

just doing her civic duty

There definitely should be some kind of fitting punishment for those people who have decided they don’t need deodorant, and just go through life stinking up the world around them.

This is Velma in her later years, after she ditched the Ghost Gang. She spent years in a van with a Great Dane, so she knows all about odor.

I have a farty Great Dane, and I keep a gas mask handy.

I think this one would’ve been just as funny without the caption!

Give him the AXE…

We are halfway through the year. Why are they still advertising the 2024 calendar? I’ve been getting mailings that have a 2025 calendar as a gift. One even had a small 2026 calendar.

All that’s needed now is a spray to mute mobile users (and their mobiles) who incessantly carry on Conversations in a loud voice or play whatever on their phone with the volume maxed.
