The statistics given in the first two panels are accurate. If “Gunsmoke” were remade today, someone would make sure that Matt killed an equal number of men and women.
I had a coworker who was very dedicated to hospice patients but I came to hate talking to her in the office. Every conversation took twice as long as it needed to because she would finish my sentences–incorrectly.
This one came to me while watching a video on “ethics”. The video was replete with examples, none of which have ever come close to happening in my job.
A friend of mine was really into beading at the time this strip was drawn. I thought the work was attractive, but I was most amazed she could even pick the little things up, let alone do anything with them.
My original idea for Pete’s misunderstanding may have been funnier, but I was afraid it would hurt someone’s feelings. (I don’t mind causing offense, but this was just making fun of someone’s name and that seemed needlessly hurtful. It’s a blurry line.)
Waffles with chocolate chips are my favorite. I tried adding M&Ms, but I think it would have worked better with the minis. I used to put pecans or walnuts in my waffle mix, but decided they maintain more of their crunch (and just as much of their flavor) if sprinkled atop after baking. You don’t really care, do you?
