“Is it alright Mom? He’s really a wonderful guy!”
“Of course it is honey. That’s because you have the wrong vowel. He’s really a wonderful gay. So we don’t care if you two are alone.”

“There! Now kiss her all you like! Really! Go ahead! We’re the kind of parents who don’t want to see our kids having sex. But listening to them having sex? Ahhhh yeahhhh!”

“…and he’s sound of wind and limb!”
“Don’t you mean mind and limb?”
“Nope! I checked his wind with a limb and made him make all kinds of sounds. Old Joe. He’s good. Real good.”

I’m sorry Mom and Dad. I know you are really anxious about having grandkids. But the circumstances surrounding this conception are not okay.

I’m about 99 percent sure the original comic was written by Joe Gill. I interviewed “Good Ole Joe Gill” a couple of times and he was–in real life, but not print–as salty a guy as I’ve ever talked to.
A well-seasoned cartoonist then?
And FreshMeet, that was really funny. Thanks.
No disrespect meant to the writer. Particularly for being salty. Since I live in that glass house, I shouldn’t throw concrete blocks.
Just…it seems sort of a weird way to end things. And her mom is right there. It just…
Ya know?
Thanks John. I hope Joe Gill is in Salty Writer’s Heaven right now, cussing up a storm.
Oh, I didn’t take it as disrespect at all. But I’ll say this about Joe Gill.
1) I really liked Joe and talking with him was a hoot!
2) He had some strange views about women.
3) He wrote very, very quickly and churned out scripts for Charlton’s incredibly low page rate. In fact, he may have been the fastest comic book writer of all time. So sometimes his scripts were more about reaching a certain page count than creating a plot that made sense.
…sound of wind and limb. How’s his withers?
Stone freakin’ horse hockey!
