Pregnant (She's not.)

    When I worked at Half Price Books I did a daily work-inspired series of comics that (I) thought was pretty funny in that it was crudely drawn but fairly topical and about some of the ludicrous things that happen in retail. I haven't had as much to draw about since quitting the bookstore, and don't really want to involve my current job as I don't want to lose my current job.

    I decided that as a newly married homeowner, I could probably come up with some new ideas. Stylistically, it might evolve, as I'm doing it in illustrator whereas I was doing it with pencil and paper in the previous version.

    Today's comic is sort of a test but the gist of the story is that I'm probably setting a record in the Ford family for not having had kids by now. We're certainly not trying to have kids, but then again, neither were most of the people I know who -do- have kids. As a result, I pretty much respond that Carolyn might be pregnant whenever she is experiencing physical discomfort of any kind. Scratched Knee? "Probably pregnant."

      I deleted the old version because Mary mocked my spelling abilities.

      To answer Jeff's question from the deleted version: No, it's not an announcement of anything.

      This is a perfect example of why it should be possible to replace a photo with an updated version of said photo without erasing the comments, etc.
