Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for March 02, 2021

Are Wimpy and Ed co-workers (such as they are)?

Wimpy? Or some early version of one of the regular gang from prior to John?

Scott would explain, but I’ll save him the trouble (as we’re both official geezers and remember this stuff). Wimpy’s signature line was “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.” It’s Tuesday, so…

I’m telling you! Those hamburger vendors show no mercy when you stiff them!

Man. What a coincidence. I just thought of this guy earlier today.

Wimpy is always great with words.

Don’t have the money you owe for the burger, eh?

Wimpy could say he did not specify which Tuesday.

We used to have a burger joint named Wimpy’s.

though wimpy would say that he’ll give dana money tomorrow for a hamburger today

Ah, yes; good ol’ J. Wellington Wimpy. And yes, that is the character’s full name.

Keep in mind, he’s not named for the characteristic of being wimpy. It’s the other way around, He’s been around for so long, if you accuse someone of being a wimpy person, you’re saying they’re similar to J. Wellington Wimpy.

Tuesday. The leg breakers are after him.

The Jeep was always my favorite character in Popeye cartoons, but Wimpy was a close second (I was a big fan of hamburgers as a kid).
