This is something I’ve been called out for in past relationships: my near-complete inability to take anything seriously. I will make stupid remarks in the most serious of conversations. My limit is somewhere around “Death in the Family,” which I think is pretty high. Your dad has to die for me to not make a joke about it. Unfortunately, I don’t see this as a trait of mine that will change, so I guess I’ll just have to work around it.
The “Perfect Life,” as defined by Men’s Health magazine, involves a lot of things I don’t usually feel like doing. It’s got me thinking maybe I should just stick to my current “Mediocre Life,” with perhaps a few pushes here and there towards a “Pretty Decent Life.” At the moment, “Pretty Decent” is a lot to ask for but, I mean, it can’t hurt to take a swing.
Apparently someone’s thinking about living past fifty. Or, I don’t know, maybe there were just some pictures of half-naked women in there.
I’ll be posting a follow-up to this tomorrow morning.
Slight Delay w/ Bonus
I normally color and publish my comics when I get off work (meaning now, at 7:00am), but I am absolutely dead tired this morning and I’m going to need to sleep before that can happen, so the comic will go up this afternoon/evening instead. To make up for it, I’ll post another comic tomorrow. Good plan? Alright. See you out there.

PS: I just found out two things: First, there’s a Wikipedia article on Malfunction Junction, and second, mine is not the first comic strip to have been titled Malfunction Junction. Normally that would worry me, but the guy who did the other one is apparently dead.
It is okay for this to take you a second.
