What, what……Harrington has Aides? Oh wait, we all have them thar Aides and Orderlys.

I see Dalcon again with the sword/club. But it looks like Bleeb might have a pistol or ray gun. Time for a showdown at The Not So Okay Corral.

Sometime not wearing a hearing aid is a choice.

En garde, Dalcon! En garde, Bleeb!

They can’t hear you, even those who didn’t lose one.

I hope that’s a sturdy chair, Bleeb.

That reminds me of my work. We had a deaf worker and they liked to page him to other departments. He never showed up. I would shake my head everytime they would try.

And they were PC compliant with the sign-language guy also on the PA.

In the strip above they should have said something like “If you know of anyone missing a hearing aid let them know it is in the office”

What did he say?

doesn’t THAT look like a fun place to hang out

NOBODY MOVE

Poor Bleeb, Darca is always in attack mode

Before I had cataract surgery, if I lost my eyeglasses, I couldn’t look for them till I found them.

if Bleeb is the little “bug”… what is he doing on that lady’s back???

I like how those cards all seem to be glued together so the players aren’t bothered by having to hold them all. I do wonder how they play a card, though.

Herring aid. Is that like hamburger helper, only different?

Oh my! Are Bleeb and Dalcon going to tussle?

Bleeb pursued hard for TWO days

Wow, sleepy pines has a distinct teeth shortage.

You’ll have to speak a little louder next time, hehehe…..

“Did you hear sump’n Harold?”

“Whaaaat?”

“I SAID… DID-YOU-HEAR-SUMP’N?!”

“No thanks, they upset my stomach!”

H U H . . . ?

Is it still humor if no one hears it? Legally deaf in one ear and can’t hear out of the other…

Or, walk into the room and yell: “Who wants a pudding cup” and whoever doesn’t raise their hand is the owner.

The ones who heard the announcement didn’t lose it, and the one who lost it didn’t hear the announcement.

Good chance that the Covid will take some of you out. Not very many safety measures in view.

Maybe they should try sign language instead.

And if you order now, you get another set of ACME hearing aids for just $19.99, but hurry our representatives are ready to take your order, hoping you could hear them …

Someone step on Dalcon and give Bleeb some peace.

An older gentleman I was working with took off his hearing aids before going into his house for lunch with his wife. I asked him why. He simply replied, “There’s some things I don’t need to hear.”
