Oh, what a fool Roger is wanting to spend quality time with his children at ANY game at which he easily loses.

Jason wants to make sure Roger still has money after to pay allowance

Not quite, it’s about the same as Japanese Yen to USD.

Heck, by the time he finishes the game Jason will have probably made a cool 50 if he can stall it long enough.

If that’s the way the kids are, just do the same when they want allowances, trips to the mall, to borrow the car, home WiFi access and finally, when they want their cell phone. text and INet usage turned back on.

Sigh. The “dumb pathetic Roger Fox” gag has become so entrenched that on the tvtropes.org entry for “Bumbling Dad,” Roger is the first example of how the trope is used in newspaper comics.

I think it is time to take all the electronic crap away from the kids, and spend more quality time raising a real family!

Roger’s regretting asking Jason to play.

So sad. We played Monopoly late Christmas day, 3 out of our five children that were home played. There’s 7 children total.

I’m going to buy a hotel on park place and boardwalk…..no no I am not playing monopoly

I would play for that kind of money. Heck, to be competitive with Jason, I would play for half as much.

LOL

I would absolutely LOVE to do that!

it’s weird that he calls himself old man when there’s a timeline that he is 45 and doesn’t want to be old, and even the comic strip is frozen in time.

He is going to go bankrupt!!!! Especially if Jason keeps to money.

“You’d have to pay me to.”

I feel bad for Roger…
