    When I went to my 10th high school reunion, I had to hem up a pair of slacks to wear in a hurry. Stapling them worked wonderfully until I finally hemmed them properly. I can sew if necessary, and when I was young and lived in Massachusetts (during the time we were snowed in) I learned to knit. LOL, to this day, I can still cast on and knot a nice bookmark in about 20 minutes. The football player Rosie Grier (played for New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams) used to knit, so I do not feel to bad about that little talent.

    Note to TJ: that staple will not hold that button on for long…

    I’d express disbelief that neither of these two know how to look up “how-to” websites or videos online, but I’ve met plenty of people in the real world who don’t know how to do that either. Of course all those people were a lot older than Brad and Toni here, but I figure this strip is just Greg’s boomer mindset showing through again.

    Sort of like when Luann and Bernice recently spent their day staring off into space because Greg forgot that young people have smartphones these days.

    I wonder if the strip acknowledged YouTube or Google, could they still swing this kind of humor. That’s one thing Nancy’s author, Olivia, does solidly. Seeing Nancy attend school virtually didn’t limit her characteristics. Frazz does a decent job too.

    DARN! I finally remembered to check GoComics again, but I’d forgotten about my comments in the strip from 3 days ago and a bunch of people had replied! And when I check in today, Bets isn’t in the strip so nothing more can really be said.

    At least it’s good to see Toni & TJ again! Though Toni kind of loses a lot of her “edge” in these domestic strips, to the point where I almost forget what her character was originally like. Never mind the hidden depths we had for TJ like 10+ years ago that were never followed up on. He’d be a fun character to revisit in depth, actually- he’s been kind of a forgotten one for ages now.

    Oh for cripes sake! I learned how to sew buttons on when I was five! How hard is it?

    Though I have to admit, that was kind of clever of TJ, though slamming it down like that could have broken the button

    Has anyone ever actually done that? I would assume it would just shatter the button or the staple wouldn’t be big enough to reach all the way through/around it and the fabric.

    Fabric tape is a thing. There’s a kind that’s heat activated with an iron and a kind you just press together like double-sided tape. You can easily fix a hem with it. I wouldn’t necessarily expect Brad or Toni to know that, but I would think they could look at a sewn-on button long enough to figure out how to reattach one that’s come off. (Having a needle and thread is another story, though…)

    I’m not sure what’s so difficult about sewing on a button. Thread a needle, up through one hole and down through another. Rinse and repeat several times. Tie it off. Sorted.

    Whereas I do know how to sew on a button in the traditional method, I once connected a large button on a jacket using a small cable tie. It works, perfectly, and is much stronger than using thread. Also, for reconnecting the button to one’s jeans, there are snap on buttons that work very well.

    I was never taught how to sew on a button, either, but I’ve done it tons of times. It’s not hard. Needle, thread, poke it through the fabric and through the button holes until everything stays put. Throw in a few knots to make sure it stays, and PRESTO, the button is sewed on. Granted, it may not look the best, but surely people have something better to do than scrutinize my buttons.
