I understand the need for funeral planners, but what a tricky business, because to some degree you know you’re using their grief for your profit. Tough. I feel sorry for both sides.
A minister who does funerals actually wrote me after this strip to ask where he could find the passage. Tennyson strikes again!
I used to think that “having something to say” meant “knowing some profound truth, and since there is perhaps really no such thing, then there could never be anything to say.” Now I know it can simply mean “something interesting to say.”
it’s all in the word “something” which is open to all kinds of interpretation, depending on how hamstringing you want to be to yourself. ;-)
That’s the great thing about cats — they always have a free schedule.
Of course, if they don’t want to hang out with you, you know it’s YOU, because it’s not like they have to be anywhere else or something.

Hey, Peter’s site was temporarily down, but is back up just in time for his Helen/Bruno crossover strips.
Peter’s “Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet” was the first webcomic i really found and liked, and peter and I became friends over the years. So, it was a joy to do the crossover with him. (oh, and his standard resume site)
