In the very early strips,she neither wore an apron or a bow. And she was also addressed by her real name,which is June. During and after her pregnancy with Penny is when the bow and apron made their permanent appearances,and June became “Honeybunch”. Probably an homage to all those TV moms who wore pearls,aprons and heels back in the day.

In my early 20’s I gave some thought to what kind of tattoo I’d want if I ever got one. That was 10 years ago, and I realize now that the taste I had when I was younger is not the same as it is now, and it probably will have changed some more when I’m another 10 years older. That’s why temporary tattoos make the most sense to me.

Night-Gaunt49: Not too bad – until humans moved north out of Africa and encountered a thing called winter. Then there were problems. Not the least being that necessity was rationalized as morals, resulting in the reductio ad absurdum fallacy that God creates something so evil that only the human clothing industry can counter it. (Just for the record, I do wear clothes most of the time – baths don’t work well with them on – but not because the “ultimate morality” is immoral.)
