History:
(Willie Lumpkin newspaper strip (fb) - BTS) - Recently married and deeply in love, the Justweds moved into a cottage in Glenville. A romantic, their mailman Willie Lumpkin enjoyed delivering mail to them. Then Mr. Justwed went on his first business trip. Having never been separated from her spouse before, Mrs. Justwed worried that her "poor angel" would be helpless without her and hoped he'd be alright. 

(Willie Lumpkin newspaper strip) - One morning Willie Lumpkin arrived with a letter from Mr. Justwed. Excited to be hearing from her darling hubby, Mrs. Justwed immediately ripped the envelope open, and Willie waited for her to read the message, basking in the pleasure of being able to bring happiness into the lives of those on his mail route. He listened attentively as Mrs. Justwed gushed about how she missed her husband and hoped he was coping with being separated from her. Then she read the letter:

            "Darling,
                Don't worry about me.
            Having a great time!   
            Everything fine!
                                Love,
                                Hubby"

   Immediately and to the consternation of Willie, Mrs. Justwed launched into a rant with her ire rising with every word, enraged to hear that he was having a great time without her, and that "everything's fine." She denounced her husband as utterly heartless and then broke into angry tears, announcing that she had a good mind to go home to her mother. Turning on Willie, who'd remained watching in stunned silence throughout, she shouted at him that men were all alike, then stormed back inside and slammed the door in his face.
