My better half dropped a comic strip conspiracy theory on me last night. Usually I don’t lend any credence to such theories, but this one has the ring of truth to it.
You know the one-panel strip “Love Is …” that’s been syndicated since 1970?
The one that Homer Simpson described as being “about two naked eight-year-olds who are married”?
Do you ever wonder what might have become of those married former eight-year-olds?
(For that matter, did you ever notice how much alike those naked eight-year-olds looked?)
Brace yourself.
My better half’s theory is that the “Love Is …” kids grew up to be …
The honeymoon has to end at some point, and I suppose if you marry at eight, that point is well before 20.
This reminds me of how a relationship has three phases:
1. “Darling!”
2. “Dear!”
3. “Hey you!”
Hmmm. After all these years, they still don’t have secondary sexual characteristics, except stubble. It must be the same couple. And they aren’t any funnier…
The lack of primary sexual characteristics does a good job of explaining the lack of secondary sexual characteristics.
