Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for March 02, 2017

I home the 40 cupcakes are a home ec assignment.

Tony asked, about 4 hours ago

Are you new?

Naaaaaaaaaah.

Oh good….

Tony has a question for today’s strip, too.

He asks:

“Are you new?”

Gosh, I’d like to say yes….

I mean. I never existed before…. and I’m the only me… (AFAIK)

But… um…. by this age, I probably have to say I’m rather used.

Not that it’s necessarily a bad thing…..

Some of my favorite stuff came from thrift stores and antique shops….

Maybe I could say I’m “vintage.”

Wow… is there a chance that anyone might think I’m collectible?

Have you ever heard someone say “Hey, come take a look at my used car.”?

Even a used car is new to the person who just bought it.

So even though I’m out of warranty, I have hope.

I wish I knew what you mean by new. I’ve be around here for quite awhile now.

New? Well it depends. I’m new to new people I meet!!!

Nope. And I don’t do cupcakes either.

Not new here, not new there, not new anywhere.

I am dented, and dinged, scratched and rusted.

But I still start every morning.

Not new by any stretch of the imagination.

No, I’m not new. I’m slightly battered and out of condition.

I think I am approaching the end of my warranty.

@Tony:

No, not new — but then, you knew, right? And I know that it’s time for today’s…

Second “Daddy’s Home” Question:

Buy or bake?

Elliot must go to one of the very few schools that still allow sugary baked goods.

Are you new here

I’m not new, but I am back! We’ve been in cold windy Las Vegas, painting the rental for new tenants.

And no we didn’t go to the Strip. The Casinos charge $14.99 for 4 hours parking now. Booooooo!
