Gotta say that eloping is great. Twice for me. Kind of pisses off the mother-in-law to not be at the ceremony but that’s the only drawback I’ve experienced.
2 notes:
1. “Take my daughter. Please!”
B. In the original, this guy was Yoda before Yoda. (YbY)
“Very competent is Miss Foster”. Yeah, no way you didn’t say that in the voice.
Interesting the way the guy is reaching for her breast….
As I said over on the Last Kiss GoComics page, I’m amazed that the artist drew the guy’s hand in that position.
I didn’t make a joke about it in today’s comic, but if I re-use the art in a future Last Kiss, I probably will!
I agree Dave. I eloped when I got married as well. Both sets of folks were completely out of control and that was the only way we were both going to keep some semblance of sanity. Too bad it didn’t work out.
