That last cartoon is the best as far as I’m concerned. So true.
We only promised to be there for each other “in sickness & in health,” not in paunchy & uncommunicative. That’s why old women cry at weddings: they know what’s coming 63 yrs later! Give youth a break: those vows need a do-over.
Stan Hunt’s ’58 cartoon is my favorite of this group as well. I love the mid-20th space-age furniture he drew here too. The one directly above of the ‘swinging parents’ is just so embarrassingly wonderful. And then the ’61 ‘toon of the woman getting her hair all beautiful for this date, all for naught.
Sadly the last cartoon is us to a T. 60 odd years later. lol
The cartoon by Stan Hunt is original and hilarious!
