Confession, I used the dogs playing cards example for the third panel.
Once upon a time,I was thinking about the depressing times professional athletes must have upon getting older and retiring. Losing the "edge" they once had as well as all the money that use to be there is now gone.
The idea came to me of Tarzan as a middle aged guy, dealing with strange noises coming from different parts of their body each time they got up in the morning like: Snap, Crackle & Pop of the joints and blowing gas every time he bends over. ( these things do not happen to me and I am only going on what other old farts tell me).
So here is middle aged Tarzan, having lived all his life in the African jungles, his wife Jane has divorced him and moved back to Brooklyn to live with her dear old mother. What is Tarzan to do? He moves in with his childhood buddy Cheetah. Cheetah has never had a mate and is also middle aged and very set in his ways and through the goodness of his heart he allows Tarzan to camp out in his tree house. The tree house is complete with a big screen TV, hot tub, ruffles on the beds and frilly curtains.
Think of this as reality show and join us as we get a close up view of what it is like when two totally different kind of guys start living together.
There has been several television sit-coms where this same basic idea is played out: Mork And Mindy, 2 and a Half Men and The Odd Couple. So many gags start falling off the gag tree.
The Really Odd Couple will be running every Wednesday from now for the next ten to twenty years...Hope you enjoy.
