Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for August 10, 2017

Elliot is such a dirt jerk.

1st QotD: What would you do/say?

I’m far from a neat freak….

but I draw the line waaay before dirty sneakers on the table.

I like to think I wouldn’t have to do or say anything….

cos any kid of mine over the age of two would no more even try such a thing than I would have in my parents’ home.

I suppose my certainty about the swift retribution I would have received back then

but by Elliot’s age, it didn’t matter… I simply knew better.

Another thing I would do, and, in fact, I did, is check back on an earlier run of this very strip….

where I discovered two things:

!) It was in color.

and

2) Tony asked his own question that time…. to wit:

What did Mom always say?

My answer to Tony’s question: see above.

@Susan

I mentioned the color-thing several times – and – since the strips are re-re-re-runs already, I want to provide fresh questions at least.

Otherwise, it may result in – well, see your last line – reruns of the answers, too.

Tigressy….

I answered your question…..

It’s still interesting to me to see what Tony asked….

since give and take with the cartoonist himself is what first made me a regular participant in this forum.

Anyway, my answer isn’t a rerun…

I didn’t think I commented on Daddy’s home back then, and if I did, I don’t remember.

I meant I already answered his question in my answer to yours.

As for the color… you said it was in color someplace…. I thought on Twitter…

But sorry, I’m not here every day, and I don’t remember everything…

I’m just trying to have a little fun here.

No rules!

@Susan

Sorry for the misunderstanding – I’m still sleep-depraved.

What I meant to say: If the answer to the old question is the same, some would answer “See my answer back then.”

At least, that’s what I did just a few days ago.

I always check on twitter first if there’s a new question, that’s why I know about the colors. No; you don’t have to be signed in to see that.

And nice to see you – I checked your profile to verify that you haven’t been banned again, you naughty, naughty girl!

(Yes; I do know that it was only by accident back then.)

Deprived! OMG…

Ha! so men actually have a limit on messy and dirty.

Tigressy… it’s OK.

I think I was probably a little cranky, too, being constantly sleep-depraved, myself.

most of my posts are in the wee hours of the morning when I should be sleeping.

Alondra… Yeah. Who knew, right?
