It happens sometimes: a mildly witty, apolitical bon mot floats through his drunken mind, so he grabs it and sticks it in a comic. I am no longer going to give him any credit for his occasional lapses into coherence. He's still an asshole.
I do think renewing wedding vows is faintly silly (and usually only seems to be done in a fit of "nothing wrong with our marriage, honest!!!") so I think I may agree with Tinsley on something. How odd. Maybe I'm over-tired.
Sounds like Mrs. Tinsley still had some scrap of romance left in her, after all these years. But don't worry -- Bruce should have successfully crushed that now.
eddypo. If that is a Ziggy than he's being doubly unoriginal. Ripping off Ziggy was a plot device of a classic Seinfeld episode. (when Elaine submits a cartoon to the New Yorker.) But then, Seinfeld might be over Bruce Tinsley's head. He has trouble understanding the subtle nuances of the Teletubbies.
I refuse to give him ANY leeway. Sure, this one isn't bad by Tinsley standards, but that's a pretty low bar to cross, isn't it? It's not exactly a work of genius, either. And today he's talking about how stoopid Kids Today are. So really...

From the look of it, the (backless) couch ends halfway over and Harold is sitting on the floor.

C'mon, let's give credit where credit is due. Harold seems to be a funny guy.

I think that gag is a Ziggy.

...to the archives!
This has got to be the high point of the strip: an actual joke!
We should encourage good acts, although it is more fun to snark.
It's fine, except for the part where they're larding in front of the TV.
America according to Mallard: bad posture in front of a television.

Harold's my favorite character. This is classic Harold. Give Harold his own spin-off strip!
