Rude! Dude, you can’t be looking at your watch* during your wedding.

(*Kids, ask your parents!)

  • I still wear a watch. I need to keep track of how long I’m spending on people at work to stay on schedule and it’s damned rude to pull my phone out of my pocket and check it all the time, also less convenient. I also always have mine when I travel so I know I’m on local time, given that not all my electronics catch up at the same time.

  • Also, I’m middle-aged and pedantic, so there’s that too.

    “Why are all your relatives naked?”

  • Oh, he’s not getting married. That’s the best man. The groom is a little late, is all.

    Not as late as the bride.

    Or the guests.

    Or those fellas waiting on the wings.

    But he’s still late.

    There was a “Love, America Style” where a man married into a nudist family, and they got married at the colony. He steeled himself up, and went out without any clothes to find out that everyone else was dressed!

    Now that I really look at it, I get the groom, since presumably he’s been shanghied into the thing.

    The minister, though? I have no idea.

  • Yeah, that didn’t click for me when I first saw this cover. What is his deal?

    Grocery prices stripped them to the bone?

    Back when the bride was still alive, he promised that he’d perform her wedding service, no matter what. Now he didn’t expect her and her family to die

    and rise as skeletons — but a promise is a promise.

    So, the exact same cover used in that Champions RPG book based on the bizarre What-If idea of ‘What If H.P. Lovecraft lived through his 1937 bought with cancer and ended up writing superhero comics for Julius Schwartz and Nedor Comics?’ It’s better than it sounds.

    “The Strange Cats” is a story about cats who come when they’re called, eat the food they’re given, and generally try to be cooperative with their humans. The weirdest thing about them is that they genuinely enjoy being around people, and never attack them out of the blue.

    Cats everywhere just shivered.
