Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for November 27, 2016

Just out of curiosity, was that an actual balloon during the parade?

I don’t watch parades so I wouldn’t know.

And of course, a clear expression of her inflated opinion of herself…

And it really looks like she’s trying to get someone to pull her finger…

Instead of floating a proposal, she floated herself…

Must have cost several thousand dollars to do that. Maybe she can get it into the local parade. Though I stopped watching parades some time ago.

I don’t think they had a Rita balloon, although that would be awesome. This comic probably doesn’t have quite a high enough pop cultural profile to get a Macy’s balloon. I’d be delighted for John and Scott if it did, though. Perhaps there’s a bit of a dream being expressed here?

I just noticed a disturbing resemblance to a grown up Lucy from “Peanuts”….

@ Eric O’neill

I agree it looks a lot like Lucy. And if Lucy ever grows up, she’ll probably act a lot like Rita! UGH!!

2nd time today that I am aware of that a character in this strip was compared to a different strip. I would love to see a crossover strip featuring Rita as Lucy’s mother, and Maria as Lucy’s long lost step-sister. (A dream sequence maybe, a la Dallas or Newhart).

Ain’t never gonna happen, I know, but a crossover strip of some sort would be fun.

It could happen
