The Lockhorns: Someday We'll Look Back on This and Quickly Change the Subject
A relatable and hilarious one-panel comic about love, marriage, and everything in between, THE LOCKHORNS reaches millions of readers every day with some of the sharpest one-liners in the history of the funnies. This giftable hardcover book showcases hand-picked one-panel comics from the past twenty years and also includes an interview with the writer of THE LOCKHORNS, Bunny Hoest.
The Lockhorns gently (and sometimes sharply) pokes fun at the antics of Loretta and Leroy Lockhorn. The panel finds laughs in the foibles of both partners, but their snappy repartee and witty banter belies the couple’s deep love and commitment to one another. Readers recognize the dialogue and illustrations as completely relatable—a window into their own lives or the lives of their family and friends. No matter what problems come their way, through thick and thin, through couples counseling and trips to the bar (for Leroy) or the mall (for Loretta), the pair realizes that they’re together “’til death do us part.” And they wouldn’t have it any other way!

If any married couple ever tells you they have never argued or disagreed with each other they are either lying or delusional.
Disagreeing with someone doesn’t mean you hate them. It only means you’re human and sometimes people make mistakes and push the other person’s buttons.
The secret is be willing to apologize and to avoid pushing their buttons. Love and marriage is not always snugly and warm fuzzies. It’s a commitment for life.
Half the fun is making up.
The Lockhorns doesn’t seem to understand that in Bunny Hoest’s (interview included) and John Reiner’s small, hardbound book collection of comic strips in The Lockhorns: Someday We’llLook Back On This And Quickly Change The Subject published by Andrews McMeel Publishing.
Get ready to witness marriage mania in the single panel comic strip reprints poking fun at married people.
The most popular comic strips from the last 20 years are featured in this hilarious romp through married life with The Lockhorns that shatter the illusion of married bliss.
It’s a no-holds barred, face-to-face jabs, tussles and confrontations that smart married people should best avoid.
They may disagree, drive each other crazy and not see eye-to-eye but it’s obvious through all the turmoil and troubles they love each other.
It’s funny, laced with truth and offers good lessons on how not to act when married.
Colossians 3:14 - And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

Short, hilarious, sometimes, mean (but funny) the humor of a long, long marriage with a couple who have always something to say about every situation.
