Close to Home by John McPherson for December 10, 2019

Larry Bibble takes top honers. I would hate to run into Pam McNumf in a dark hallway.

Pam McNumf is standing there wondering who put her picture up there. Especially in that pose!

That must be Pam. Gee, I wonder who it was in January and July?

You’re not trying hard enough, Pam.

Bleeb is checking his spelling.

Larry must be awfully good at what he does for the company.

Pam looks upset.

Larry must have been on vacation in April.

Boy Larry was gunning for that award

I wonder what Pam did in April to beat Larry? And, what did Larry do in May to win the title back?

Perhaps the April picture was an April Fool’s joke on the part of Larry Bibble.

My brother has always been a suck-up

Dalcon for most annoying! He’s right behind you Bleeb Keep a careful eye

We all know (or knew) a Larry and/or Pam,

Hmmm…I’m thinking Bibble & McNumf would be a good name for a cartoon law firm!

Is it just funny because it’s annoying that Larry has annoyingly won almost every Annoying Employee of the month? I looked to see if this was published in April in case Pam replaced all the other ones except for hers.. Or maybe Larry replaced one of his for hers.. I dunno. I feel like I am missing the solid punchline.

As his boss said, “Larry is a very responsible worker. Responsible for all of our problems!”

Either Larry has some really bad dirt on the boss or he’s one of his relatives.

I’d say Larry was a lock for the yearly award.

Who’s Larry Bibble?

Pam needs to step up her game!
