Totally love the entire concept and execution, Liza!! I hear ya!! I've learned I must go towel shopping in person as I must feel the nap to be sure it will work for me! Never mind the convenience of online shopping which I do for everything else - except towels!!

I needed a smile! After 40 careful months the resident husband has Covid. We are sorting his and hers towels.

Stay safe and hope he’s well soon. You might look into ENOVID, reviews by both JAMA and the Lancet laud as preventing many viruses, but especially covid variants, from entering thru our nasal passages. Developed in Israel. And googleable.

If you have to get covid, at least it's now, when we have therapies... The NIH released a report that cannabis hardens our cells against covid and its variants, and prevents them from piercing our cell walls! If you live in a non-legal state then that's a moot suggestion. But in case you can get ahold of some, you might want to microdose it while caring for a Covid patient. I'll be thinking of you, Jo... Please be well. 🙏🏽 And separate those towels!!!

Wait! How's she going to open the door without spilling the towels? I hope it's not raining outside...sigh.

LOVE this! So much said in so few lines drawn. It does make me think "Leave the cat, take the towels" as in https://www.facebook.com/MGPLiveNYC/videos/756315258831666/ When I left, I was taking the darn Electrolux vac no matter what.

Clearly I need towel recommendations from an expert.

There's a towel I use to protect my car when I slide my kayak on and off. I have a habit of leaving it on the roof when I drive off. I've found it in my driveway, at the put in, and one time neatly folded at the side of the road. I left it on the noof one time too many, and now it's gone. A towel, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.

I just noticed how just about every line in the drawing subtly points directly to the towels. I’ve never noticed that about an illustration before, super cool. Also, having lived through this scene, I can confirm: this is truth in comedy. 😉

I didn't notice that either. But you're right!
