We ca no longer order at the bar, but place an order with the wait staff. The mask may be lowered to eat or drink. Tables now are 8’ apart. This was as of yesterday. Today, everything may be totally shut down.
NZ just declared their country is Covid free because their citizens listened to the health experts and their leader isnt a moron more interested in saving statues instead of human lives.
Oh, Lennie. (Chicken lady, here.) Please let me apologize for the idiots who fail to see real life from light hearted comics. I’m so sorry. My god, how do you do this every day??!!
It’s weird to agree, but Barbara from Portland has a point. Because I think it is important to set an example, especially since we have such a leadership vacuum.
I find it troubling, in these difficult times of COVID-19, that you would consider it worth your while to write to a comic strip complaining that the characters do not reflect the current pandemic/social rules. It’s a comic strip. Complaining about it does nothing to help curb the spread of this terrible pandemic, and I have serious doubts that the people reading this strip would take cues from it and apply them to the real world (unless we can find Ginger merchandise somewhere).
Well – maybe she actually did read your strips from the beginning, and as you did say it was based on your life (Dec 31, 1999 on gocomics), she got confused. 8-)
Beverly in Portland needs to get her eyes checked. Otherwise she would have recognized the clever masks they were wearing yesterday that looked exactly like their unmasked faces!
Stop beating your head against the computer Lenny. No matter how much we want, neither you nor I can fix stupid. Breathe deeply and let it go. Beverly in Portland just doesn’t have the ability to discern reality from cartoon.

Just tell her that strip takes place two years in the future, after the space aliens cure all of our diseases.

All the comic stirps should be lengthened in order to have the characters social distancing.

Wow, 58 comments so far. This would be a good reason for posting the e-mails like you did ten years ago.
