Transcript:
Flo: What's that yaw got hangin' around yawr neck, deah? Joe: It's an award the girls gave me... ...They call it the "exalted medal of coolness" This is their certificate... "For the most fun-loving and forgiving Dad on the planet! Flo: Aw, that's nice. So what brought this about? Joe: Um...now that you mention it, they never told me. Flo: Oh, deah... Joe: *sigh* I'd better get home. Kate: You're absolutely sure daddy gave his approval to make this into a mud bath? Danae: Of course! It's implied by his accepting the award. Lucy: Wait... What?

Someday, Danae will be in Congress. And then a federal pen.

@Nightshade09 Not necessarily in that order. Tho’ it must be saidthat many/most of the incumbents of Congress belong in Florence, were the truth but known.

It’s much easier to get forgiveness than permission.

Danae has been planning this for a very long time..

She would make an excellent politician.

I love that “comes the dawn” expression in panel 5! Instant brow lift.

But daddy—it’s a spa!…Clean it up? I don’t think so.

I bet today goes down in history: from being the very best day in Danae’s short life, to being the very WORST day in Danae’s short life; once Daddy sees the mess that she made! I can’t really imagine having to turn the so-called “mud bath” back into a normal bath! I think “Mud” would be a more than fitting nickname for her at the moment.

Now, we can’t assume that Danae will make a good politician until we’ve seen her SLING mud … And here’s that opportunity; Dad’s on his way home!

Congratulations Mr. Miller! I can’t believe that this is your first win. I would have thought you’d have a few of them. Your work is always superb.

Ah! Florence in the summer, will never forget.

Hm…Mud in the bathroom isn’t that bad. At least mud dries and can be vacuumed up if it gets on the carpet.
dabugger over 10 years ago
Oh, stinkers. Who, do you guess, will clean it up? The forgiving fun loving dad……

A day at the spa. Nothing like it. Cape Buffalos, Rhinos, Elephants ALL love a good mudding. Keeps the skin from burning and helps eliminate parasites.

And how long has he been Danae’s Dad?

Wiley, I agree with felinefan, I’d have thought you’d have a few of those by now….But then, I also think they should name the award after you….So…..anyway, congratulations…It is So well deserved….A lot of comics readers are happy this morning…You’re the gold standard, babe…..Thanks……

watmemori, what you said should be true, but too many voters look at criminal behavior as actually a plus. One brother in law told me that Geithner’s tax crimes were actuall a plus because he knows the criminal mind.

Thanks everyone! It was a long, wonderful night and now I’m heading home with a VERY heavy suitcase. And to answer the question many here have posed, the Reuben Award is a once in a lifetime award. The NCS made that change about 20 years ago. But I have won both the comic strip and syndicated panel division awards in the past. But the Reuben is the big one, and can only be won once.

Adding my congrats, sir! Wow and double-wow!

Joe is so adorably naive sometimes. Gotta love him.
Jessica_D over 10 years ago
“forgiving” on the award certificate should have been a huge red flag for him
