But she HATES golf!

Anyone remember that old Far side strip where a couple of cave-people meet another couple at their door with “Thag! Zeena! Come on in and act uncivilized!”

…Mark’s gonna WISH it was just “uncivilized”.

Yes, Marilou, forget this chump and get a golf pro. You’ll be much happier than you were with this sleazeball.

My advice to her. If she wants to atrract a young athlete, perhaps don’t wear so much eyeshadow. That goes for all of them.

Too bad, but this strip reflects the world of today. Take him for what he’s got and start a new life!

The status symbol is that you can afford a new, expensive wife while paying off wife #1. Did he want it, or was the peer pressure too much?

@Marilou Get expert advice. Contact Mrs Trump #1, Mrs Trump #2 and Mrs Trump #3, all experts in living with scum.

He thinks the grass is greener on the other side, but it is rubber turf.

Good riddance to him. Just another shallow man concerned with status symbols whose sense of self depends upon the envy of others. How common, how boring!

I’m in my 60s. I have always wondered why a guy my age would want a relationship with a 20 or 30 something. Yeah, the physical side may be great, for a while anyway, but what do you talk about later? How’s it gonna be when she invites a group of her friends over? Nah, I’ll stick with my peer-friend.

I’m 72. My wife is 57.

I’ve told her she never has to worry about me chasing younger women – I’ve got enough troubles trying to keep up with her !

A big, bulky phone hanging on the kitchen wall. I haven’t seen one of those in ages.

Mid-life crisis.

“900 number.” Blast from the past!

“but, i had really counted on spending the rest of our lives making each other miserable…or at least mind-numbing bored.”

Best thing that could’ve happened to her. A blessing, in fact.
