Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for January 10, 2021

I didn’t move out of my parents’ house in Lewis County, Washington until I was 27 (well, they moved to Clark County a few months before I did where we still live… just in our own places).

Tony’s QOTD: Are you moving?

I don’t need to. My parents don’t live here. And I’m definitely not moving in with them. In fact I can’t move in with them. There’s some GOA rule about not being alive.

They should boot his ass out at 21!

Not moving yet, but I think about doing so every Autumn.

Where would I go??? I have all my family close by and my pets and all my friends on GoComics, COOL!!!

30?

Well, you WILL wait young man…Wait, What??

30 is the new 18…..

@Tony:

Well, I ain’t paralyzed…yet… O<|];o)

It is a heck of a lot more difficult for someone to move out and get their own place than it was for previous generations. It actually makes sense to stay home until you decide to get married, and then use money saved to make a better life for your own kids. When I graduated from high school in 1962. my husband and I bought a three bedroom two bath house and two pretty good cars within the next three years, and paid for them with a job that he got right out of high school. I didn’t work, few married women did, and those that did so by choice. Now it isn’t a choice for most women, unless they don’t mind living in poverty.

………..Since that time, the productivity of the American worker has skyrocketed, and we are generally acknowledged to be the best in the world. And, we are producing goods that we can’t afford to buy.……….Most of the value that we are producing is going to the 1%, who use that money to buy politicians who make laws that insure that they keep making most of the money, which they can use to buy more politicians, who will write more laws so they can make more money to buy more politicians and etc etc etc. …………. If this is Democracy, somewhere the whole thing has gone seriously off the tracks.

Is it sad that I didn’t get the joke initially? Sounded like a normal statement….

Peter: “Do you want to tell and should I?”

Now that’s scary, right there.

I’m very moving. Or should I say that people keep moving away from me?

A recycled joke from 4 years ago. https://www.gocomics.com/daddyshome/2016/01/03?ct=v&cti=1318810
