Glad to see Shannon wearing safety glasses.And what is the devious TJ up to now? I hate him. I loathe him. I despise him.

You’re doing a swell job, Shannon, at acupuncture on the wall… I mean hammering in nails into same said wall.

She’s going to regret giving up her say in the wedding, she just doesn’t realize it yet.

TJ has proven to be a great friend. funny how kids get so easily distracted and intent on a different activity when it is offered as a project or way to help out, not just told the have to do something. compassion is something you are neither too young or too old for….always deserved, always a kindness at the right time.
wiselad over 8 years ago
btw? why is the meeting for 4 now, instead of just 2? is he going to take TJ, Shannon and Gunther to it? J/K I know he means 4 PM
TexanAtHeart over 8 years ago
I’ll take some Brd. It is always scary when TJ takes on a project, but he has aliways been good at remodeling. And he is doing it for Brad & Toni. Good friend. Shannon’s having fun with him, too.

Between bent nails and lost socks there seems to be a foot theme going on.
Mikeyj over 8 years ago
I love the last panel, especially Shannon’s line! hahahaha
Brdshtt Premium Member over 8 years ago
I am thinking that the glass is not a window, but a mirror as you can clearly see the reflection of TJ’s gloved hands in them.

When a remodeler says “Don’t worry, you’ll love it” – worry.

So sweet.Every little girl needs a big hammer and a wall to break down..
Ratbrat over 8 years ago
I like TJ. He has enthusiasm, is always upbeat, loves his friends, and is good with kids. His trajectory may at times be a bit off, but his quirks keep him from becoming a bore.Oh, and he can cook!All pluses in my book.

How long will it before Shannon is a stripper with daddy issues?
Ida No over 8 years ago
That got mentioned after I’d already run the blog entry. Sorry. I’ll do an edit when I get the chance.

Brad and Toni will wake up some night with Shannon standing over them in bed and holding that 10 pound sledge over her head and screaming “I’m SORRY,my DADDY made me do it”.Dump the kid,and TJ.

Happy pounding, kid…

Let TJ run. He seems to have real talent- a Marty Stewart.
rick1881 over 8 years ago
Is it just me? I find that the events of Brad and Toni a lot more interesting than the overgrown teenage, Luann! Greg should either drop Luann, or else spin off Brad and Toni to another strip.

She gets to break things, remember? She gets to kick down doors and punch holes in drywall.

i had a wall on my second house about 40 years ago .It makes a room look bigger ,also had cork on one wall next to a nosie neighbor that helps also .( same house )
rickray777 over 8 years ago
Well, guess what? There sure is a lot to be said for being 55, never having been in a relationship, no marriage, no kids, and so on. DUH! But oh, how my “poor” heart “aches” at all that so-called “fun” and “companionship” that I’ve been missing out on all my life! (LOL!)

6Hah! I like TJs effort here! Shannon…. oh, oh! She is going to apparently create more needed repair than remodel with all those nails. :) TJ was adept at getting Shannon focused away from swimming. But, hopefully Toni has the skills to steer Shannon BACK to swimming to save the house….. at least from Shannon. Maybe Toni should try to convince TJ to go swimming too? :)
Wesley_B over 8 years ago
I’m getting disgusted with a couple of folks. Flag, or block?
ndblackirish97 over 8 years ago
Hmmm swimming or demolition? I love this kid. She knows her priorities.
StarWarsGuy500 over 8 years ago
Will it knock his socks off in a good way or a bad way? Answer that one TJ.
ironman01 over 8 years ago
What could go wrong here?
kaffekup over 8 years ago
Mysterious… Just so long as the remodeling doesn’t involve a propane tank.
Vorticia over 8 years ago
TJ is a great babysitter for Shannon.

You see the look on Brad’s face when he said “mmmmm” at TJ comment. Looks like Brad is showing some signs of becoming a control freak.

This has been a very long day for Toni, and it is not even 4 pm yet.
Sisyphos over 8 years ago
TJ is dangerous! He needs constant supervision.Shannon is picking up TJ’s bad habits. Toni needs to whisk her off to the pool at once!
locake over 8 years ago
TJ is wonderful in this story. He kept Shannon busy with something fun and safe for her to do.
ohwhatever over 8 years ago
He’s installing 2 way mirrors.
howtheduck over 8 years ago
“He is”. Like us, TJ wonders if Brad has any manhood left or if Toni has taken it all.

I miss that comic. It was a true classic, Hack Kaff!
ACTIVIST1234 over 8 years ago
Shannon: "No, I’m too busy remodeling you ol’ meanie. You were too busy to go swiiming with me, so turn about’s fair play.*Brad: “TJ, Toni and I live here too. We need to see the plans.”
Cavenee Lonnie Premium Member over 8 years ago
Yeah Toni! Put that bikini on and go to the pool!
RSH over 8 years ago
I like that Shannon gets so focused when she is put to a task (that interests her), like when she was shown some dance moves for the FUSE Follies event, she couldn’t stop practicing. She was so into it. If she ever starts school in this strip she’ll be a good student.
dliley over 8 years ago
TJ is a good guy. He always means well, his enthusiasm just gets a bit out of control.
Airman over 8 years ago
Who cares about TJ? Enlarge the picture and appreciate Toni’s most excellent bootie.

Mikey, are there some local charities or services you care about? If so, many charities need people who can look things up online, prepare educational materials, and do a number of other chores which can be done from the home, sometimes w occasional meetings.You have the abilities to express yourself well and to look things up.Also, you consider yourself be shy but you converse just like anyone else when you do so online, and even handle disagreements w others in constructive ways when those just shut down many shy people.I have had some times in life when health reasons stuck me indoors, such as bad asthma seasons, or for a while a health problem which required major surgery which was postponed as long as possible, but during those times i was able to put together educational materials to help reduce emergencies (police, fire, etc.), and provide people with needed ferret veterinary information. Have you tried pretending to yourself to be someone different in a social setting to let yourself open up? I do not mean lying, just pretending to be someone a bit less shy?
