Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for September 19, 2020

Wow, look at that carpet!

Looks like steel wool!!

I’m positive I would have said something besides that !

“On the plus side, we have a new floor mat for the back step to wipe our feet on.”

She really did it! I was wondering if she would …

Is Adam still conscious?

That’ll make a nice door mat…

Just paint WELCOME on it and you’re ready to go.

Breaking news. Astronauts on the ISS reported and unusual sound emanating throughout the station today. They and ground control are still puzzled as to the source. They are on high alert because some are concerned that it was a harbinger of the demise of the station.

Fancy Nancy shoutout

Be prepared to do it all again in a week or so.

I’m surprised Adam managed to keep this a family strip!

Okay. Yuck. Let’s move on and not speak of this again until Thanksgiving.

She has amazing upper body strength.

All this talk of language reminded me of my nephew when he was about 3 or so. He had been told about “good” words and “bad” words, a big necessity considering his mother has a mouth like a sailor. As a result, he came up with his own “cuss” word…. “galdarndangit”. It was heard often for a year or two. I still remind him of it when his language gets a bit colorful (he’s 19 now).

In the future Adam will find someone willing to mow it for him.

Hm, maybe Katie could shape it to look like a pony, and… oh, never mind. ☺

Reminds me me of “What Women Want.”

While very loud and indeed painful, I notice that 911 did not needed to be called…..

Ouch. And ewwww.

now they have a NEW DOORMAT TO CLEAN THEIR SHOES!

Ready for the legs?

you now a door mat

And Katy discovered it’s as much fun torturing her Dad as she thought it would be.

Hey, new doormat!

Last panel. Where’s the Popcorn? And the phone with 91- dialed on it?

I agree that he said something far stronger in panel three than is reported here. I assume that Harrell (and the editors?) decided that the relatively tame exclamation (loud though it is) would be funnier than a lengthy grawlix.

Wouldn’t a depilatory cream be the better option? Or spring for laser hair removal. After all, with the tape method, it will only grow back!

Put it tape side down and use it for a door mat.

It worked…..

Reminds me of the waxing scene in My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance.

If you haven’t seen the show it is worth it.

Welcome to the new family pet

Today’s strip gives me even more reason to keep my back hair (as well as my chest hair). Not that I needed any such motivation, of course.

Imagine how many people heard that.

I had a college roommate at a conservative Christian in the 60’s who who used this phrase when he was frustrated: “Blast you fladderaps you philaramic pegaloomer you fladderap”. It is still my go to phrase in certain delicate situations.

that was probably one of the funniest comics ive seen from this strip

As a side benefit they have a new throw rug…

Does he have any skin left?

Looks like they have a new door mat for the front door! No more tracking dirt into the house on your shoes.

Considering her description of his back hair, I don’t think that was even half of it.

I’m in pain just thinking about that!

Instant rug.

That…….I can feel!!

I’m surprised he did not cuss

Wasn’t there a movie moment in this regard, i.e. “The 40 Year Old Virgin.”
