   …And everyone knew I had never had a date or a beau. Now anonymous strangers? Oh, I’d had them by the bushel.

     Fortunately for Smelly Sally, her social life improved immensely when twin brothers Hay-Fever Harry and No-Sinus Nathan moved in next door.

   A vaguely remembered phrase from my youth. So vague I hate to put it in quotes.

   Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses except when they have the right frame.

     I agree, Dave. Diego did a great job on the coloring!

   Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses
   So Dorothy Parker has said
   She said it quite rightly
   They’re very unsightly
   But no one wears glasses in bed.

   I am pretty sure I read that in the joke column of a men’s magazine in the 1960s or 1970s
