You gave me a hysterical laugh for today, Carl. I remember that expression, haven’t heard it in a loooong time. Love mom-in-law’s new look.
Blessings – Maxi
Sharply observed Carl, but I think she still has the edge on you – Looks like she just wants to go chopping at the furniture sale…oh ye gods, such pun ishment…
Welcome home. By the way I have been trying to get published in New Yorker mag for 35 years. I do enter their caption contest every Monday. You should too.
Carl, all I can think of is that old song, “Mother-in-law … The worst person I know … Mother-in-law. ” I’ve tried real hard not to live down to that image, but your cartoon and that song make me laugh.

Her reputation is a bit harsh. I’m sure she doesn’t mean to cut him down.
