I’m dedicating this comic to Shelagh Lustig, who married me 37 years ago on St. Patrick’s Day—even though I didn’t have a pot o’ gold. I, on the other hand, struck the motherlode when I married her. Ever since then St. Patrick’s Day has been my lucky day! Happy Anniversary, sweetie!
(My thanks to Mike Pascale for collaborating with me on another fun holiday gag.)

Happy Anniversary
Thanks, Tom!
Congrats, you crazy kids! May the road rise up to meet you, yadda, yadda– & your luck– & ours– continue!
Thanks, David. The road pretty much stayed put—and so did we—on our anniversary. But all in all, it was a very good day!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LUSTIGS and here’s to the next 37+ years!
Happy belated anniversary! My wife (37 years coming up) and I do two anniversaries a year. First Date and Wedding.
I like the subtle and not so subtle changes from the original. Usually don’t see people added in the background.
Second shot yesterday. No dramatic side effects.
Thanks, Dave. And congrats in advance–again. I honestly can’t remember the exact date of our first date. But I like the idea of celebrating that as well. I’ll check with Shelagh. Her memory is way better than mine. If she doesn’t remember, maybe we’ll designate a date and celebrate that.
Congrats on the second shot. Shelagh and I have both had our second shots. She didn’t have any side affects except a sore arm. I was exhausted for three or four days, but it was well worth it!
Congrats John.
