Those McD gift certificates and the ones from their competition (BK, Burger Queen and Biff Burger) were the rage when I was a kid here on the FL Suncoast in the ‘70s right up with those from DQ. Of course I was in elementary/middle school then though I do remember the manager of the Publix I worked at as a “bottle boy” for my first job also gave out McD gift certificates to us kids at XMas time in the early ’80s so I guess I can’t hang Dallas out to dry on this one. In contrast, George Costanza topped Dallas in a Seinfeld episode when he gave out certificates telling people he gave a donation in their name to the “Human Fund” which he totally made up. That is something I would suspect Steve Dallas of doing as well.
Every time the topic of those old McD’s Gift Certificates comes up I think of the lady that used to hand them out in our neighborhood for Halloween. I was 10 years old and the nearest McD’s was a two and a half hour drive away.
They say that “it’s the thought that counts”, but if anyone gave me a McDonald’s gift card, it shows no thought, because anyone who knows me knows that I don’t like McDonald’s.

Steve is trying to kill poor Opus with, um…, “love.”

That’s not the kind of bust Steve’s looking for.

I’ve been handing out McDonald’s gift certificates to our local servicers for years.

After the plethora of Sunday strips and no strip yesterday, I thought Gocomics might be ending its run. Guess not.
