hey, he NEEDS to be able to see! otherwise he might accidentally bump into one (or more) of the ladies while he’s swimming! (and that would be impolite.)
If Lizzie doesn’t get her hand off Elly’s bathing suit strap there’s going to be a bigger show on the beach than in the water! She looks like she’s about to pull it down LOL.
I agree with Cleokaya. There’s nothing wrong with looking. There’s a biiig difference between looking and lusting. I enjoy the “scenery” myself at times, but the only one I “want” is my husband. He knows that and enjoys the same freedom. There is no reason to be jealous over an unwanted and unattainable beauty of either sex.
By the way, I remember a strip with the older Pattersons on the beach in Mexico with John trying to use his dark glasses to disguise the fact that he was “looking” and Elly pitched a fit over it.
My wife used to really object to my looking. Now she lets me know if I have missed a sight, or indirectly is questioning me to see if I have seen someone, I bet.
But … really I don’t care anymore.

though i was older then (and older now) i, too, remember corey hart. considering how unheard he is these days, it’s hard to believe he was as popular as bryan adams at the time. did their careers ever go in opposite directions!
Lynn has said all along that the kids will age some, but will not grow up this time around, in these new/old strips.
Over at FBORFW, there is a new feature that has a lot of old Farley strips put together. The FARLEY plush toy dog is almost ready for sale and there is a FARLEY Ontario, Canada license plate you can buy for the car from the Ministry of Transportation.
My significant other and I cheerfully point out relevant bits of scenery to one another: “Female jogger at two o’clock! –Don’t wreck us, for goodness’ sake!” Or “Beefcake special! –Oops, you missed it; want me to go around the block?” The rule is, “Look; don’t touch” and all is well.
4deerinmyyard, my husband and I often do the same. (Actually, it’s usually me pointing out the big-bosomed joggers, and he thinks it’s fun to show me the guys with three teeth and beer bellies in wife-beaters.)
I’m female and married for 28 years. For me when I look at women I think either ,depends on size, I need to exercise more or wow how does she stay that way. I have trouble with weight. With guys if they have tatoos :(. My husband does not very:) and how they treat their wives good I hope. My husband is very faithfull and I with him.

He may want to look at them, but I doubt if they want to look at him.

Hm. For each of the past few daily strips, Jon has lost a little bit of his character appeal.
princepavel about 15 years ago
Geez. Jon’s been doing a looooot of couch surfing of late.

Jokes about sleeping on the couch? Why should a man lose a good night’s sleep just because his wife is irrational? How cliched.

John needs his eyeglasses to put on and goes back to the water so he can watch those young girls out there.

And that’s why I’m having eye surgery, and if everything goes well it should happen sometime before the end of the year.

The “look, don’t look” argument reminds me of the saying, “it doesn’t matter where you get your appetite, as long as you eat at home”.

If you didn’t marry your sweetie for something besides looks, you’re marriage is doomed anyway.

Agreed in spades. Real sick of the hubby always getting the couch. Wifey is pissed, wifey can move.
