Jenny the military spouse - Episodes 1 - 4

"Jenny the military spouse" follows the adventures of a young Air Force spouse determined to overcome the challenges of a military lifestyle. Drawn from the real lives of both contributors and the cartoonist, Jenny's experiences reflect the humor, ingenuity, and sheer determination necessary to be successful as the spouse of an active duty military member.

1.  This is Jenny

My friends and I always joked that, every time we either painted or bought new rugs, we'd get our orders to PCS and have to move to another color-palette.  One friend said it always happened when she redid her bathroom and I thought that would be the perfect place for Jenny to start.

2. TMO

This is me and Angel.

3.  Do We Tip the Movers

Some ladies in my OWC were talking about tipping the movers.  I've grown up in the Air Force and never heard that in my life.  I brought it up to Angel and he said he'd never heard of it either.  So, of course, I had to give it to Jenny. 

Jenny and DH eventually decided they would wait until DH made General so they could be really, really generous!

4.  Moving Day

One of the most popular "Jenny" comics, almost every military wife can relate to this depiction of Jenny sleepily sipping her coffee one second and staring at a packed hot coffee pot, trash can, and one unlucky spider the next.

The impetus for this episode came from the fact that the movers packed half my bagel.  This is not a lie or a joke.

I was eating a nice, thick, warm bagel, generously schmeared with delicious cream cheese, when I was called out of the room.  By the time I got back, the entire kitchen was packed and nobody remembered seeing a bagel.

Back when "Jenny" had a store on Cafe Press, we sold t-shirts and mugs that read "The other half of my bagel is in unaccompanied baggage".  A nice photo of half a bagel in the shape of half of a heart was in the center of the shirt.

If you still have a Cafe Press store, you are welcome to that idea.  Please send me a mug.
