Happy Veteran’s Day. And a heartfelt thanks to everyone who has served.
My thanks to my friend Donald Flowers who encouraged me to add some missing details to the U.S. Air Force uniform in today’s comic. And a special thank you to my pal Robert Zailo who added those details to the art. We’ll be seeing more of Robert’s work in the future.

I can’t take full credit (or blame) for today’s comic. The heavy boobs gag was suggested by my wife (Shelagh.) I noodled with the wording a bit and added the line from the helpful guy in the background, but the basic, uh…thrust of the gag is all hers.
