President Elect Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH Neanderthal B Woodman Domestic Violent Extremist SuperStraight
Two years difference. He’s 20. She’s 18. Really, they’re both “children”. With the whole world ahead of them.
Start planning the wedding. But keep it in the background for now.

I doubt there will be a shotgun wedding. Even if Kiko gets preggers. The wedding will be a joyous affair, the joining of two Texas neighbors, families & ranches. If there is a shotgun, it will be painted white & be there as a “pro forma” showing, to be photographed & chuckled over in later years.
Well if he is 20 and she is 18 there is nothing can be done. I don’t think Jed will do anything to hurt his little girls heart or have her turn on him for doing something rash.. Just my thoughts on the matter.
Even when you and your wife whole heartedly approve of the young man, and he comes and asks for your permission and blessing to marry your daughter, well…the whole world still gets real blurry….
While Zed and Sam were adults when wed. There is a larger age gap as she lied about being older than she was as Zed didn’t wish to become involved with younger women. Add, they wedded in Lost Wages as the twins were involved.
as Zed didn’t wish to become involved with younger women.
Somewhere Wade, who raised Zed by himself after his wife died in childbirth, is laughing out loud, as Zed appears to be surrounded by younger women who have given him most of his grey hair.
And Zed would probably tell Wade that it is all way more than worth it.
Will we see after effects of a certain fiery robo-sex in the background in passing. “Like wow! That’s a lot of firetruck going somewhere fast…”

Just to chime in as a piker compared to Unca Walt…
Sweetie and I both just 17 with a bun in the oven on 12/18/71…married 50 years as of 12/18/21…
Correct not much parents could do even then under those circumstances, and they didn’t try, thank God for that.
But not at all the path I would recommend, looks like these youn’uns are on the right track (the one that follows their hearts) while still taking in the wisdom of the ‘rents.

I can’t say that I’ll ever catch up at this rate. I’m a young’un approaching 50 years wedded not-always-bliss. (now ya got me thinking and counting…….when IS our 50th?)
Wife was 9 years younger than me. She was 23 when I met her and I was a month and a half away from my 32nd birthday but for the first 2.5 years we were nothing but friends and convention buddies til one day she wasn’t just one of the guys any more. Most common responses we got to finally being a couple was well it’s about time. 20 years,a month and a couple weeks together from beginning to end and would have been that old couple the youngins tell to get a room if the til death we do part portion of the vows weren’t activated 8.5 years ago.
It’s time to send her off to college. Let her go on her own for awhile. The worse thing you can do to your kids is send them from your confinement to another. Let her make her own decisions. Let her teach herself to be her own person.
“He’s good on paper.” So we know he’s a good guy. No need for any threats about a shotgun wedding, or any other such nonsense. When a child is raised right there comes this time to trust, and respect, their judgement.
Hi Chris, Slow it down with the twins. We can wait. I started reading your comic with a kid in real-time at six. This all (needlessly) is too fast. Let adolescent characters be kids for the time it takes.

Yep. Damned dust allergies.

In some ways, marrying ’em off early isn’t a bad strategy… particularly if you want the joy of grandkids…
Dust in the wind … we’ll maybe.
But Jackie Boy is gonna reap the Devil’s whirlwind when Tornado Zed comes a callin’.
If there is to be a wedding … it’ll be a shotgun wedding. The bride’s father will be holding a street-sweeper.

That’s the problem at the moment. He hasn’t come and presented himself.
“Sam. Our little girl…”
Yup. Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
“The bride’s father will be holding a street-sweeper.”
Won’t work. The bride knows how to shoot, too.

In theater it is “Send in the Clowns. At the Double D it is send in the robots.
Jo and Mo (Jeff) have taken “smoking after sex” to a whole new level.
I think it is wonderful. But then what would I know?
I’ve only been married 62 years…
THIS!

CGW409, so sorry for the loss of your beloved.

College ain’t what it used to be. Today, that’s like saying, “Send her to live with the closest cult.”
This is one of those times I wish D&D had a simple “like” button on it.
They grow up so fast. Sniff
College is really good at busting upba couple. So is enlistment.
