Description
First drawing of 2013, and it's a John Clyde one.
(Uhh, actually this was drawn at the end of December, but since it's finished in January, I'll count it as this year...)

This is a younger John and Penny from their college days--well actually, John was the "groundskeeper" of sorts for the college, Penny was a student trying to get a degree in accounting...she got it, too!--and I mentioned in the comments for this pic [link] how John had the habit of pressing flowers (in his brother's books) and that's how Penny met him.
Heh, they both had a bit more hair, and John was rocking some 70s sideburns while Penny had the sort of volume you'd see in the 80s (so don't ask me the exact date, it'll never be specified in the comic ), but John had his customary 'stache and shorts. Penny...wore bright colors, apparently. O_o (Don't mock her yellow pants TOO much, at least it shows a sunny personality, right?)
Penny may give off a somewhat serious and exasperated air at times (in the comics) but that's probably from marrying John. She loves him, but it can be trying, dealing with him on a daily basis. She worries about him because he's...eh, somewhat accident prone and not always the best at making "good" decisions. He seems to be rather spontaneous and ruled by impulse, (I blame his parents), whereas Penny has always been more responsible. (Probably being the eldest girl in her family...)

But I digress.
Aren't they a cute couple? I'll have to draw some of their early dates!

*ooo, I don't have a last name for Penny yet before she married John*
