Taken Up and Carried

Vern just doesn’t understand why he is unable to open the doggy door. Even though he walks up to it, nothing happens.

At first, Vern got pretty agitated withContinue reading “Taken Up and Carried”

Carl, who stands only aContinue reading “The Wall of Insecurity”

Every once in a while, his routine is broken up but nothing to get his panties tied in aContinue reading “The Last Will Be First”
