This is a stupid cartoon!!! The creator has no idea concerning same-sex relations.

Ashley, don't let the smarmy comments get to you. It's funny how you can't please some of the people reading the Voice, no matter what you say or do. Keep up the good work! Come November, they'll wish they'd taken advantage of the open window of opportunity they have now.

Obviously some folks don't get the jibe. The nagging mom to marry off the children is soooo common is soooo many cultures. I can't tell you how many times I heard that comment at a dinner table when all were expected to act civily. Too funny. I love your work!

Which one gets down on one knee and proposes? Not that it really matters, but I wonder how that might play out in a same sex relationship.

Ha, ha, ha! Hey #1, vegetarians eat too. // What amazes me is that this kind of nagging is so prevalent, I'm surprised it's not more institutionalized into our society and therein, accepted behavior. As it is, this nagging mortifies everyone but the nagger -- I have seen it done by a mother-in-law to said law's friends whom she didn't even know and everyone cringed.

And I also heard that gays that get "married" and also have a civil union with the state will have to have two separate court cases in order to dissolve the civil union and divoce from the "marriage." I heard this attributed to the fact that the courts made the decision and thus did not flush out those kinds of details as the legislature would. Be careful what you wish for, indeed.

They are clearly at a restaurant since each is eating something totally different. The next step is to nag them about a grand-baby.

Yes, Bonnie. You're right on the money. "When I am gonna' have grandchildren to spoil"? Who hasn't heard that a million times??? Hilarious!
