Listen to your mom. Hasn’t she suffered enough?
The benefits of a bad economy–you’re still attractive to women. Well, some women.

Hmm. I originally had the woman say the line (see original version below), but the consensus from fans has been that it’s funnier if the guy says the line. So I’ve changed it. The guy is now the cad!
I wish I’d written this before the last election. Oh, well. It’s not like it’s an issue that’s going away anytime soon–unfortunately.
Oh, wait! In this context, I suppose the word “unfortunately” can be taken two ways.
And if I don’t explain you’ll have to think about it and fill in the blanks yourself. How…unfortunate!
I wrote two gags to go with this art and I was going to post the other one. But this is the gag that made my wife (Shelagh) laugh. So that’s what I’m using–even, though, I thought the other gag was funnier.
Maybe I’ll use the other joke another time. (I’m cracking up just thinking about it!) In the meantime, if you don’t think today’s joke is funny, blame Shelagh. If you like it, though, I’ll be glad to take the credit.
(12/30/2010) Okay by popular request, I’m finally posting the other gag here. Maybe I exaggerated just a teensy bit. Maybe Shelagh’s gag is funnier. But is better because…well, I’ll think of a good reason later. Or maybe I can get Shelagh to think of one for me. Honey…
This is why I never take my invisible plane anywhere. I’m afraid I’ll lose it.
(I wrote this gag for the 2007 Wonder Woman Day Auction to benefit domestic violence shelters. The annual charity event always features some amazing art.)
