    hey, he NEEDS to be able to see! otherwise he might accidentally bump into one (or more) of the ladies while he’s swimming! (and that would be impolite.)

    If Lizzie doesn’t get her hand off Elly’s bathing suit strap there’s going to be a bigger show on the beach than in the water! She looks like she’s about to pull it down LOL.

    I was a preteen when this song was out and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out what he was talking about! LOL!

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with looking.

    He may want to look at them, but I doubt if they want to look at him.

    Hm. For each of the past few daily strips, Jon has lost a little bit of his character appeal.

    Geez. Jon’s been doing a looooot of couch surfing of late.

    Jokes about sleeping on the couch? Why should a man lose a good night’s sleep just because his wife is irrational? How cliched.

    I agree with Cleokaya. There’s nothing wrong with looking. There’s a biiig difference between looking and lusting. I enjoy the “scenery” myself at times, but the only one I “want” is my husband. He knows that and enjoys the same freedom. There is no reason to be jealous over an unwanted and unattainable beauty of either sex.

    By the way, I remember a strip with the older Pattersons on the beach in Mexico with John trying to use his dark glasses to disguise the fact that he was “looking” and Elly pitched a fit over it.

    Yeah, ask your wife about that… then let us know if she (1) says she thinks there is, or (2) lies.

    My wife used to really object to my looking. Now she lets me know if I have missed a sight, or indirectly is questioning me to see if I have seen someone, I bet.
    But … really I don’t care anymore.

    John needs his eyeglasses to put on and goes back to the water so he can watch those young girls out there.

    I’ve told my lady friend she has spoiled girlwatching for me.
    I still look, and there are some very attractive women out there.
    There just aren’t very many that can really turn my head anymore compared to my Sweety.

    And that’s why I’m having eye surgery, and if everything goes well it should happen sometime before the end of the year.

    though i was older then (and older now) i, too, remember corey hart. considering how unheard he is these days, it’s hard to believe he was as popular as bryan adams at the time. did their careers ever go in opposite directions!

    This whole comic strip is a RERUN.

    Been there, done that (at the pool at least.)

    I’m legally blind without my glasses.

    Joe, yes, Lynn is taking a break nd has started form the biginning.

    Soon this strip will pickup with the Children Grown with children of their own.

  28. summerdog

    summerdog said, 3 months ago

    Lynn has said all along that the kids will age some, but will not grow up this time around, in these new/old strips.

    Over at FBORFW, there is a new feature that has a lot of old Farley strips put together. The FARLEY plush toy dog is almost ready for sale and there is a FARLEY Ontario, Canada license plate you can buy for the car from the Ministry of Transportation.

    The “look, don’t look” argument reminds me of the saying, “it doesn’t matter where you get your appetite, as long as you eat at home”.

    If you didn’t marry your sweetie for something besides looks, you’re marriage is doomed anyway.

    Hey, Lynn! The Lockhorns called and they want their strip back.

    My significant other and I cheerfully point out relevant bits of scenery to one another: “Female jogger at two o’clock! –Don’t wreck us, for goodness’ sake!” Or “Beefcake special! –Oops, you missed it; want me to go around the block?” The rule is, “Look; don’t touch” and all is well.

    Or, as my mother always put it, “Look with your eyes, not with your hands!”

    myhaircutGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    4deerinmyyard, my husband and I often do the same. (Actually, it’s usually me pointing out the big-bosomed joggers, and he thinks it’s fun to show me the guys with three teeth and beer bellies in wife-beaters.)

    Agreed in spades. Real sick of the hubby always getting the couch. Wifey is pissed, wifey can move.

    I’m female and married for 28 years. For me when I look at women I think either ,depends on size, I need to exercise more or wow how does she stay that way. I have trouble with weight. With guys if they have tatoos :(. My husband does not very:) and how they treat their wives good I hope. My husband is very faithfull and I with him.
