A Grouch Without a Cause
Tuesday, March 7, 2000 - 22:00
Some marriages skip over that "honeymoon period" and go straight to open combat. Check out our new comic.
Franco and Eloise had been married for almost a year...
...but their house wasn't quite done.
Franco nagged Eloise about getting the house more in shape.
Eloise told him it was too expensive and that they needed to save money.
Franco thought that just because he had a job, he didn't have to do housework.
But some old-fashioned traditions have lost their appeal.
One day Franco stayed home from work and insisted Eloise go out to shop for furnishings.
But Eloise came home empty-handed.
The next day, Franco again stayed home, insisting Eloise go buy furnishings.
Staying home got him fired...and Eloise returned empty-handed again.
Then, Eloise revealed that she'd been secretly going to a great job all along.
Now Franco stays home, especially after discovering that he was a fabulous home decorator.
