Kaitlyn said...: I think she's less offended by the big empty space than the loss of the picture that was there before. She had the spot picked out, it worked perfectly, and idiot husband didn't want to put in a new nail.

I barely understood this at first. "What nail was there before? There's a picture on the nail. I don't get it."

I also should have added "Pluggers are lazy."

And they can't handle too much change.; September 12, 2008 at 11:40 PM
Polsy said...: But...what else did she mean by 'hang it where the large print was' if she didn't mean 'take away the large print first'? I might be misreading it. I'm certainly confused by something.

Also I keep forgetting to tick 'email follow-up comments' so I don't notice further replies until hours later.; September 13, 2008 at 5:33 AM
Kaitlyn said...: I would take it as put the the picture above/below/beside the other one.

Of course, she could have made it more specific, but perhaps space constraints made it obvious to her.

If someone said that, I'd ask for a clarification. Because if she wanted the other one off the wall, she would have said that. He's got to know that.

He acted like an over literal smart-ass kid.; September 13, 2008 at 1:22 PM

Kaitlyn said...: Anon - for some reason, Gary Brookins felt these "folksy, down-to-earth" submissions would best be illustrated by hideous beasts.

I don't know why he chooses to have a chicken and dog live together, but I've never seen a male chicken.

I don't think he realizes he's drawing animals - he once had the chicken lady holding an egg carton.

The name has nothing to do with the couple, and I've made the decision to ignore that potential. You're free to explore that somewhere else.; September 13, 2008 at 7:09 PM
