Joe should remind Dana that he’s a cop and caring for a city and needs those days off to recharge himself!

On the other hand, when you’re at work, you are helping keep the peace and saving lives. If you don’t get a break now and then, you might make a fatal error.

Apparently, guilt is good for golf!

She gets paid the big bucks and that means longer hours,

I hope Joe gets to stop Marcy’s boss on the highway for a speeding ticket.

Tell Dana to take a flying leap. Being a cop is a dangerous, stressful job, and this is Joe’s first day off in weeks. He’s earned it.

Marcy knew what she was doing when she took this job. Joe has nothing to feel guilty about.

It’s all about choices and how you handle work stress. Outside pressure is not welcome.

Just when Dana became somewhat likable, she goes and does this. Right back in the ‘unlikable’ camp with Yolanda from “Herb & Jamaal” and Les Knox from “Luann”.

Dana, Marcy is not the only one who works hard everyday.

I’m sure the kids are having a good time where ever mom sent them. Leave it to a single lady with no children to try and make a dad feel guilty.

I’ve never understood the appeal to golf.

This weekday of strips hasn’t been funny so far. I hope Marcy puts Dana in her place about how hard her husband works and doesn’t deserves to be guilt-tripped.

He’s gonna get a hole in one! He’ll have to buy a round for everyone in the clubhouse.

Dana’s the one who should feel guilty for over-working her employee.

It seems the guilt is doing wonders for his performance.

Marcie should not be working 17 hour days. And, she should also be getting days off as well as her husband does

Sad series of strips, hopefully this too will run it’s course.

I have a nephew who’s a law enforcement officer, and a niece (his sister) who is an in-home hospice nurse, traveling daily to various households. Both work regular hours as scheduled, but neither is ever off duty. Several times one of them has gotten late night or early morning messages of someone needing assistance and gone out in all kinds of weather. I don’t remember either ever taking a break that took them far from home that exceeded two days.

I have heard that the burn out rate for those working in trauma in ER and those who are in really bad shape is high.

The first time I ever played golf, I shot three under par for the course. It got dark before we could play the second hole.
