Adding layers of paid services and complication to what they feared was coming: direct transmission of ecards.
I don’t call ecards totally “free” because you need a computer or other device to send them, and a tiny percentage of what you pay for internet service. But you don’t need a middleman.
Paper cards OTOH, after you pay anywhere from 50¢ to several dollars each, still require giving the postal service 63¢ right now for a stamp… Thick or oversized is extra.
If only they could add the use of machinery to open them, electronic scanners to read them, and more machinery and electronics at the receiving end to duplicate them, put them in capsules, and physically deliver them…
at today’s prices, that would bring them maybe another $10 or $12, conservatively, for mailing each one.
Tell me they wouldn’t have implemented this system, if they could have, instead of ecards.
I can’t pick a favorite Near-sighted Lover from this group. They’re all so perfect. At least the first one may get some “sweet stuff” from his crush. I fear Smokey will just throw cold water on the poor mama bear.

That is one handsome basset.
I approve of his tie.
NOSE!
Awwwww….how dapper!

A girl and her dog.
Birds of a feather flock together?
“Until the cat comes” is the second half of that saying!

Maybe they shouldn’t have been dumping all that plastic in the sea
Is that hand the “Gripping” Thriller referred to at the bottom left.
—or is it the hand of their rescuer?
Gotta read the story to find out! 😀
Would you trust Krampus (R) Brand anything to be a “safety” product? Not me.
I like the movie. But – since it’s based on the original believes – heavy and scary stuff.
Same with “Rare Exports”.

Another fine idea from the folks who gave you a man, stationary atop a ~ 500 ft. tall tower, in the middle of a battlefield.
Sound like a failed postal service plot.

Amazing animal!
Is that a hole in it’s chest?
or another insect?
that’s what I thought….still not convinced it isn’t..which would be unfortunate for that mantis
Admit it girls! Y’all like a guy in tight jeans!
Little Peggy, are you a lover – or a stalker? Guess it depends on “him”.
I love “Along came Jones.” Ah Ah!
Again!

Ahh, the lovers…
The donkey has fallen for the beauty and glamour of his colorful girlfriend… Well, he hopes she’s his girlfriend.
The other girls he knows look so dull and boring now… And they don’t offer him any little treats like this one does.
In truth though, he met her hanging around at a party.
Is she for real… will she still be there for him tomorrow?
I hope he doesn’t make an @$$ of himself over her.
….
The little Shih Tzu has found a dainty companion.
She doesn’t eat much, so she stays slim.
Quiet and shy, her hair tied back neatly… she does her work and then lies down beside him.
No fuss no games.. though he sort of wishes she’d talk a bit more.
….
The bear is enchanted by her strong, handsome friend.
She’s thrilled when he says “Only you… ” though she’s not sure what he’s talking about.
Honestly, it doesn’t matter. She loves a man in uniform.
oh, go on and say ass, sweetie….this isn’t puritanical gocomics–
but you know that; I suspect you typed the @$$ thing out of habit
Because I’m such a lady…. 👸
it will be a shame to see these things (nearsighted lovers strips) come to its rightful end.
I’ve grown to look forward to those pertaining puns
Pun away! Please!
I think the donkeys can commiserate together. One got whacked with a stick and the other wound up with a pin stuck in his tail.
kudos to NH, stel, and susan! love todays strip!!
