Who's the Boss?

Or: "Oh We Will Have Such Fun."

"When I Am No Longer Your Boss." Pen on ruled paper
By Karen Kay Remus (c) 2018

One of my readers said that he didn't "get" the "comic" above.  That's because there's nothing to "get." It's just a weird drawing with a  non-sequitur caption. 

However, considering the improbable positioning of the street lights together with the caption might lead one to mildly amusing thoughts.    For example, if one light is addressing the other, which one is "speaking?"  

I've asked  some people, and they are divided.  Some think that the one on the right is the boss, because it's "looking" over the other one's shoulder, "observing" its work. Others say the one on the left is the boss, because it's "leading" the way.

Either scenario is absurd, because the lights are bolted to the ground.  How would one "boss" the other, and how would they "have fun" once their business relationship was dissolved?  Would they flash on and off?

If there truly are an infinite number of universes, then this is just one possible scene from one of the placidly bizarre ones.

More mining into my old sketchbooks today. As explained in the second frame above, the assignment was to render a movie in 16 frames without any words, but I stopped after one frame.  Call me lazy.  I'm just a one-frame-comic kinda gal.

Can you guess what movie I was trying to depict?

Darth's Wife, Ella

"Darth's Wife, Ella"

Pun & Portrait by Karen Kay Remus

Get it?  Hint:  Sometimes, she's very uplifting.  Sometimes, she's a real downer.

A friend added, "Sometimes she gets stuck, and Darth has to come to her rescue."  That got me thinking...

Ella "gets stuck" purposely by pushing the wrong buttons on her suit simultaneously--just to get Darth's attention.  Darth is so busy running The Dark Side, that he often forgets she exists.  He rarely makes it home for dinner.  Night after night, Ella waits up, playing Parcheesi with her servant Wookie into the wee hours, waiting for Darth's return-- to no avail.  It's tragic.
