That’s just the awkward neighbor kid, who never really fits in anywhere.
No glove, no love.
I wondered the same; frankly, I prefer the DEATH comics; I really don’t find these ‘Husband sees something that makes him suspect their child isn’t his’ very funny.
Yes, and in 2020 it will be replaced by “different looking kid suspects they are adopted” before coming back to death comics.
Anybody remember Laugh-In? They had a long-running bit where Dan Rowen and Joanne Worley played Fred and Fanny Farkel, while Dick Martin (with red wig, freckles and glasses) was faithful friend Ferd Furfel.
The joke, presented with relentless alliteration and the line “My Fanny backwards?”, was that the numerous Farkel children (the entire Laugh-In company) all looked like Ferd Furfel. Among them were Simon and Gar Farkel. The inventory always ended with “And her …” “HI!” “Flicker Farkel.” Flicker was Goldie Hawn, tumbling around as a hyper little girl.
If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit!
A husband decides to confront his wife: “Dear, I’m starting to wonder whether Max is my kid: he looks so different from the rest of the children.” His wife replies, “But Max is precisely the one that is yours!”
Is that guy Mitt Romney making a guest appearance in this cartoon?
Mitch4: Mitt Romney’s wife fooled around with Danny Glover.
@Shrug: I gotta give you a hand for that one.
Reminds me of the Bill Mauldin “Up Front” cartoon in which Willie (or Joe) is walking through some French or German town with another GI. Everyone in town shares the other GI’s distinctive appearance (pointy nose, dinner-plate eyeglasses, poof of hair on the forehead). Other GI says: “This must be the town my pappy told me about.” When I was younger, I took that to mean “This is where our family is from.” As I got older, I read another meaning (probably the one Mauldin intended) into it.
Minor Annoyance – my senior year of high school my boyfriend (not Robert) and I decided at the last minute to go to a Halloween party ( the party was already started by the time we decided to go). So we needed costumes – very quickly. I took a baby doll and wrapped it in a doll blanket and took one of my dad’s pipes. (I will mention that neither of us red headed.) We went to the party.
Whenever anyone asked what we dressed as, boyfriend took out the pipe and pretended to smoke it and then said “We are Fred and Fanny Farkle. We left the kids Mark and Sparkle Farkle…and Simon and Gar Farkle home, but we brought “her” and I would I would pop out the baby doll and would say “hi” as Goldie Hawn did.
(Strangely I remember the entire speech up until I just went to write it out.)
Umm, the doll did not actually talk – I said “Hi” for her.
Maybe the glove child (oh my,goes along with the idea of a different father – love child – ruins the rest of this) – is just a child with a deformity.
Comics I Don't Understand
