If ever a work of art has captured the essence of familial love, it is this one. Gordy's attachment to his grandmother is clearly unmatched as she takes a break from packing boxes to explain to her daughter why she and Gordy were excluded from her recent marriage ceremony. Additionally, it portrays without irony the artist's deep understanding of matrimonial bliss as Hanna is empowered to move herself into her man's apartment the day after her wedding.

Meanwhile, Dave is telling his buddy Mike, "And our dual incomes will let me finally achieve the lifestyle of my dreams!"
In honor of Amy being able to quit her job, I've added the song Pretty Woman to the Jukebox.
But, really, I can't say it better than Josh did today at the Comics Curmudgeon.

All is right with the world. Hanna and Amy both have husbands, and Gordon has a new device to access the Internet. Perhaps Amy could help pack up some of Hanna's boxes. Sean and Mary sure have disappeared.

Oh, Little Gordy. What do we really know about you? You love television, and cartoons about rockets and big brown mice. You like robots and riding in the front seat like a big boy. And now, I'm just guessing, there's a new man in your mommy's life. So if you thought you were neglected before, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Since I can no longer follow this complex plot -- it's just that amazing -- I thought I'd share a few other thoughts.
Yesterday, we had snow. It started at about 10 a.m., and by the time I was driving home from work at 5 p.m., the freeway was packed with ice and piles of slush that slopped up on the undercarriage with a sloshy grate. Most of the cars on the Interstate seemed to be following best driving practices, with an occasional jerk weaving aggressively past anyone with hazard lights. But the rest of us caravanned at a steady 20 m.p.h. knowing full well that one wrong move would ruin the drive for everyone coming next.
My wife and I went to Maui last September, as you might remember, where the speed limit actually is 20 m.p.h., so I told my wife that basically it was like driving in Hawaii. I'm not sure everyone on the freeway agreed, but the association got me home calm, collected, and definitely cool.
Speaking of making it through the cold, here's a column by my favorite writer Michael Perry, that I know you'll enjoy.
If you like the article, you will love his books. This is one of my favorites:

The Valencia Resort in Goleta. It's not a real place, unfortunately. Although there is the Bacara Resort & Spa in Goleta, and the Rancho Valencia in Rancho Santa Fe not too far away. Both are very expensive, but I've been reading about making your goals a reality through the power of visualization. I keep trying to visualize these resorts, hoping to go someday, but unfortunately, my visualization always drifts to Hanna and Sean's honeymoon. I lose interest, really fast, and start visualizing the Goleta Jiffy Lube instead. It's one of the best.

The hand coming out of Sean's breast pocket is telling the hand coming out of Mary's belly to tell the hand in Hanna's salad to show a little class.

Despite how long this has gone on, I think they may have rushed into marriage. I wonder if Sean has even noticed her sideburns.

I don't know who is responsible for placing the flag at Office Marriage Bureau, but it doesn't go in the back of the room behind the door. That's just disrespectful.
