Oh baby, give me the two fer!!!!!! I be stupid ;-}

Bleeb is having a good time sliding down the chute. Watch the alien, only $10 snicker snicker

The square root of seventeen must be good four something…

Zappos? Is this a shoe store?

And hidden just inside the math quiz machine is a math teacher making a few bucks.

Separates the wheat from the chaff.

One of my favorite rips is “buy one get one free” turned into “buy two and get half price”

We see a vending machine, Bleeb sees a playground.

Ah problem solved for public education

Quiz upside down looks like zing…

Okay, soooo, what’s wrong with that? …..go

47% of Americans would choose the 2/$5

The first test begins with whether you choose to buy one or two tests.

“Yep, that machine ain’t so smart at the car wash! Change for a dollar, ha. I fooled it with a five dollar bill.”

The square of the hypothalamus of a right tricycle is equal to the sump of the squares of the other two slides.

Now gimme my diploma!

Good thing I got back from vacation when I did, I think my computer (Ol’ Rusty) was siding with Siri and Alexa to take over the neighborhood!

Reality: In (pre-pandemic) Sweden, in at least one store I found that 100 g Toblerone bars were 15 kronor each, but a 360 g bar was 80 kronor. (C’mon, you can do the math.)

Shouldn’t it cost $4.1231056256177 dollars?

Hah ha – I’m too smart for them! I bought a package: 3 for $10!

reminds me of working in the supermarket back in my high school days of the late 60’s. we had some unmoving product in cans marked a dime so the manager told us boys that he’d show us how to get rid of them. he had us use lysol to remove the stamped ink 10 cent marks, place them in a shopping cart near the registers, and he made a store special sign 2/25cents and taped it on the cart. stuff was gone in a couple hours!

One of the reasons I quit shopping at 99cents only was them stocking things over one dollar. Dollar Tree has just started that too. Theirs seems better than 99cents Only because they make it a whole section and not mixing them with the normal price items.

Somethun ain’t right about this, no self-respecting jock would voluntarily take a math quiz, much less pay for one.

You already failed!

I didn’t know they have Bleeb vending machines. I wonder how much a Bleeb cost.

I once saw a sign in a shoe store window as I was passing by, “One for $7, two for $15!”

I didn’t dare try to find out whether that was one shoe or one pair.

Great comic today AND Bleeb’s greatest action appearance.

True story.. D.Q. recently had a promotion for their new 1/3 lb burger. It failed, because people thought it was smaller than McD’s 1/4 lb burger.

Love It!

NERD!!!
