New answers to ‘Bah, humbug!’…

In looking up that date, I found this article, which I don’t think I’ve seen before:

Yesssss, the return of grumpy Boomer, good to see a familiar frown. Can’t wait to see him next time when he’s annoyed about Nancy’s participation robot

I wonder if this is meant to be read as the man walking past on multiple occasions, or as one continuous interaction. I’m going with the latter because I find the mental image of Nancy and Sluggo making and installing each new sign by way of reply while their critic stands by patiently waiting funnier.

Now, get off my lawn!

No “Burma-Shave” sign? Tch.

With this global warming, their wishes will be warm.

I love that guy.

Next one says, “if you’re still here, old man.”

Pushin’ it!

This is how Ms Jaimes handles critics. As when complaints about Fritzi’s shape started appearing, Ms Jaimes responded by smoothing the curves.

New Year’s yard signs? Where do they live anyway?

Tell the guy with the cane to get off our lawn.

But…. but….. I am so confused…. Nancy and Sluggo are not showing an air of detachment! How do I or the old guy then know how to interpret (or mis-interpret) their intent?!?!?! :)

Actually, when I first read today…. the punchline that popped out to me (take it with a grain of salt, I have been watching a helluva lot of CNN lately) was that Olivia was making a sly comment about a potential change in January 2021 in terms of the White House. Olivia’s work may truthfully have NOTHING to do with politics today, I can grant that…. but the “2021” sign at the end guided my mind there.

Oh, this guy has returned!

Keep encouraging them, old man! I love it when kids have encouragement to do things.
