    That would be too easy. Where are they going to get a license on a Sunday anyway. Upton should be headed for jail Monday morning.

    I’m with Ronshua. I sense an old-fashioned Romantic Ending here.

    I dunno, I don’t think she likes the new Upton. And since she’s not converted they will have too many disagreements. “Can two walk together except they be agreed?”

    I predict a stormy and brief marriage if those two do tie the knot.

    There is a “Christianese” saying within some church circles, which says that a couple like that is “unequally yoked”. In other words, one is a believer and the other one isn’t. And a marriage under those conditions is not exactly facing a rosy future, because the two participants are very much not on the same page.

    If people who rush into marriage would slow down, get counseling and really think about it before they rush into it, seems like there would be a lot less divorce out there. Sad situation.

    Since Upton O. Goode and Ramona Lisa were living together and sleeping together, in the Biblical tradition they are already married. They weren’t “unequally yoked” when they arrived at the church. Both of them were unrepentant sinners.

    The Greek prefix meaning “unequally” of “unequally yoked” is “hetero-.” In the proper context it means that one who is a believer in Jesus should not be in any kind of relationship with those who practice a pagan religion.

    A lot of couples who live together before they get a marriage license don’t stay together for very long after they have a marriage license on file.

    If Upton and Ramona are going to ask Warren Peacegood to officiate at their wedding ceremony, they better get the marriage license first.

    And Mr. Peacegood had better be authorized to sign and file the marriage license, too.

    Is there any storyline in this comic now that isn’t geared toward 80 year olds? In subject matter and in speed?

    He’ll probably go right back to his lying ways after they get married, when one day she asks him: “does this make me look fat?”.

    I love the irony of them being ushered into marriage by a Ted Haggard lookalike.

    Some open questions:


    • Without a car, how will they leave the parsonage?

    • Didn’t they move some of Pastor Present’s belongings into their car before it was stolen? Will they repay him?

    • Don’t they need a marriage license (mentioned above)? Maybe a blood test?

    Then again:


    • There’s always a shack available down by the dump near Rufus & Joel;

    • They could join up with Joe Pye and the boys;

    • They could run off with Eve Wallet’s motorcycle gang; or

    • They could hook up with the guy that the mailman caught robbing Skeezix’s & Nina’s house.

    ”Want to be legal for once?”

    What woman could resist such talk?

    It looks like we’ve moved ahead in time, probably isnt Sunday anymore. Looks like they’re in the parsons office.

    A wedding would be nice. Maybe the minister will get him a job. Too bad the real world doesnt work this way. I guess we wouldnt need to read GA, if it did.

    “She’s no Goode, she’s no Goode, she’s no Goode, baby she’s no Goode!”
