Close to Home by John McPherson for February 14, 2021

Bleeb is up on the counter. And Dalcon is on the floor planning something i’m sure.

Dang, and I thought I had it rough. And all the time, the Mayhem is directed by Dalcon. Bleeb looks on.

Parenting tragedy 101.

That is a huge doctor’s office! All the ones I’ve been in are almost the size of jail cells.

I’m still freaked out by Lord Licorice and don’t get me started on Queen Frostine! And then there is Chutes and Ladders! This “Close to Home” hits a little too…well…you know, close to home!

Maybe she should consider herself lucky she didn’t see the TV series adaptation of it on Food Network recently.

Well, there’s no MONOPOLY on the humor here, but I don’t really have a CLUE what to say about today’s toon, but such is LIFE.

So, this will probably be a bit of a TRIVIAL PURSUIT, but I’m willing to RISK it and try to CONNECT FOUR or more classic board games together, to see how many I can remember. Here goes……

CHESS-CHECKERS-CHINESE CHECKERS-BACKGAMMON!

Whew! That was a tough one, but I think I pulled it off! シ

Switch to “Chutes & Ladders”!

Bored games.

There’s a lot of whiny adults, too.

Okay. From now on Poker and Texas hold’em only. Consider it educational activities.

Now you know why your parents parked you in front of a TV.

Elon Musk’s mother: “Queen to QB5! Rook takes pawn. Knight to KR4…”

Bleeb is standing ready by the tongue depressor jar, well because this is a depressing situation.

Even traumatized the kids.

Aw, Happy Valentine’s Day Bleeb! Nice to have you back! :)

Ha!! Wait til you see the “Wii Remote Rage Toss” syndrome
