Sweet! Although I don’t know how the angles work for that contraption. It just doesn’t seem quite right.

And once again Bleeb is up to his voyeuristic ways!!

That would be great if I could see my feet. It needs a telescope or a video camera. Then there’s the problem with my “essential tremors”.

Neat idea? If only Ron Popeil was still alive…

I have another person cut my toenails. I can never do the job properly myself.

You know you’re fat when…

Do you know that they make a 3 foot stick for obese people to attach a wash rag so that they can reach around to get to their back end?

“When I would have to buy the two foot stick, I think I would get the message that it’s time to work on losing a lot of weight.”….Chick McGee

This present is probably more for her than it is for him.

Just use a weed eater! Saves time!

….Or wait for winter….then Jack Frost will nip at your toes….

Where can I get one?

Not if the toenails are old and crusty. If that’s the case, a good ol fashion chainsaw to file them down oughta do the trick

Brilliant. If there is a emery board attachment or, better, yet a grinder I’ll take one now.

It is definitely getting more difficult to do it myself.

About 5 years ago my wife dragged me into a nail shop for a pedicure. I was instantly hooked. Not having to cut my toenails from an awkward angle is one thing (I am 71), but they also clean up your cuticles, buff calluses and provide a calf massage that is both enjoyable and relaxing. Probably about 20 – 20 percent of the people getting pedis are guys, but if more guys tried it once, the percentage would shoot up quickly.

The best way to keep feet in good shape is a pedi! By a professional

There’s a lot more truth than humor in today’s strip.

Just what he never wanted!!!

Okay! Now I have to have one! It’s just a guy thing to buy tools and gadgets that you have absolutely no use for. It’s more or less just so I can say:

“Hey look… I have one o’those!”

Hey! I need one of those!

LOL I need one of those for my sister!

It’s good thing you said that, he thought it was nose hair trimmer.

I’m sensing a lucrative deal on Shark Tank!

Little toe amputation is 5..4..3..

Has this cartoonist ever received the award for the most ugly characters?

Does it work on hammer toes?

Chocolate toenails don’t grow in trees,

Nor are they found on dungarees,

Nor can they be found on your nose,

Chocolate toenails grow on your toes…

I hope he doesn’t have diabetes.

It becomes a real problem when you can no longer see your toenails. I don’t have that problem but you can see people on the street every day who do. (Just another pandemic we’ll all be paying for in years to come.)
