She’s make a bad mother-in-law, Alex…

Can’t decide, is the view out the window another trailer or a dumpster?

Another trailer. See the ventilation pipe at the top and the flash on the windows?

It has windows too.

Defiantly momma wants to keep her little boy.

\\//_

Time to dump her! The mother, of course.

It’s her (and Bush’s) fault for him going over to fight that condemnable war that his speech has “gone to hell”.

Gee, maybe it’s the terrorists’ fault. You know, the guys who planted the mines in the road?

Either way, for all his (and his anti-war supporters’) toxic rhetoric, Obama has validated just about everything Bush did by doing it himself. As far as their programs go, the world can’t see much difference between them.

Another trailer. Dumpsters aren’t normally equipped with furnace vents

is why it’s called Mother-in-Law, not Mother-in-Love. Let’s hope Alex’s interior dialogue wins out on the hang-in-there side.

Unless, of course her Creator has other plans for her & for Leo.

Just pure jealousy, that’s all it is.

considering what the world has done to Leo he is doing rather well.

I think it’s another trailer too, although I don’t think our old house trailer or either of our travel trailers had vent pipes like those illustrated. Eh.

Alex should get Leo out of that trailer park. If he wants to move up in the world, he needs to hang around a more intellectual crowd than trailer park trash. His mom seemed like a better person in earlier strips; now she just seems low-life & as if she wants to hold Leo down to her level.

You don’t have to be; poor to be white trash, white to be trailer trash, trash to live in a trailer.

If she was “poor-white-trailer-trash” she’d be pimping her boy to the MIT student. She’s just a concerned momma, who doesn’t like her boy’s girlfriend.

That is not a trailer that he is living in. It is an RV (Recreational Vehicle) and is probably worth around $150,000. I think she got it when Toggle was in the hospital. I never heard anyone say he was 100% disabled. Did anyone see -I believe it was 60 minutes a week or so ago?- ? Every vet with brain damage doesn’t get what they deserve.

Can’t decide if she is “Conn trailer trash” or “Mass trailer trash”.

cdward said, Can’t decide, is the view out the window another trailer or a dumpster?

What’s the difference?

It is a travel trailer (Camper). Don’t you see the propane tank? They are in an RV park.
