    That merits a bonus, Thad! And did you get paid overtime?

    Amid more primitive artworks, I believe I spy a small Mme Deuxcouleur on Thad’s desk Too bad this is not a Sunday strip.

    If he doesn’t pay himself on the back, nobody else will.

    Some paint landscapes, others tape up a wastebasket. Sometimes you just need proof that you can do it.

    I have to confess, I’m often in agreement with the Tad school of thought.

    I find uses for unlikely objects, fix things that should be tossed, and worse… don’t fix them, and keep using them.

     

    Some people have the “I’m tired of this… let’s buy a new one” gene.

    I have the one that makes you say "Gosh darn it, I’ve only had this 20 years, and it broke. "

    It’s probably better for the planet that way…. can I use that for an excuse?
