he feels drained, thanks for not asking

The same words used by Helga to Hagar some weeks ago.

If he drank the soup, would it leak out?

It was a total pain in the assets, fortunately I did not get shot in them.

I know the feeling…

Take a shot at it

Yes, Hilda. I’m hurt, I’m hurt bad. But ya know, its a good kind of hurt.

It had its high and low points.

He reminds me of times when the family dog would come home with a face full of porcupine quills.

“Doesn’t that pesty Cupid kid realize how hard-hearted Viking men are? It’s been years since you took me on raid, let alone brought me flowers!”

Is that Hagar the Horrible?

They stole this from Hagar The Horrible…lol

How’s it going? Huns?

That’s why he married you.

An unfortunate definition of getting the shaft…

He must have been surrounded, because he has arrows in the back AND front. He made it home, so the other guys who were shooting at him must be worse off.

Things just didn’t go as planned…

He’s deeply depressed. And she’s almost perceptive.

“These wage negotiations are a b*tch.”

Ay yes, the slings and arrows of the daily grind.

“And then I came home to your delicious cooking, the only thought that gave me strength. In fact, give me some now, I’ll share it with those who shot me.”

Just make the smashed taters lumpy and the gravy thick tonight, dear!

They couldn’t hit an elephant at this dis….

Actually, it was better than many of them…..

“But do stop bleeding on the carpet…”
