My dear wife, Lila — the love of my life — passed away early this morning, after a protracted illness. She died peacefully, at home, 77 years young.
Please indulge me as I go through a mourning process — I will not be posting any cartoons or Caption Contests for a short period of time.
This is us in happier times:
