Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for September 19, 2017

Today ….

Tony is asking, “How does that work?”

Or, as it should be…..

“How doth that work?”

For in sooth, it be Talk Like a Pirate Day…..

 

Verily, I know me not how it doth work…..

Having neither grounder nor groundee e’er been.

But somehow methinks “At his friend’s house” be NOT the right answer.

 

Two questions, from meself….

First:

Why doth it be that in comic strips they say “at his friend’s house?”

And also, such as “the dog”, “our son,” and “my wife” ….

In real life thou sayest, “He be at Jacob’s house”, and “Didst thou feed Fido?” …..

Well, probably not like a pirate, though.

 

Second:

Where be ye, Tigressy?

Tis a long time to be drinking ale, e’en good German ale.

Works fine for Elliot!!!

It’s much like house arrest.

@Tony:

Well, see, it kind of works this way: you insert tab a into slot b; then you insert the thingamajig into the whatchamacallit, which minimizes the therbligs. Then you go out and buy a batch of AA and AAA batteries, stick them here and there, and pray. It should work.

Works for me

Pedro’s Fireworks. Does yours?

Good grief Pete were you never grounded as a kid or teen? Do you fail to understand what it means?

I guess good ideas are worth recycling. http://www.gocomics.com/daddyshome/2012/11/07
