Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for January 31, 2022

Where’d she get the sign from?

And she knows just where to look for Jimbo.

Jimbo is lucky that Vicky is not the one waiting for him.

Question: How often has Jimbo waited while Rose was shopping in a women’s clothing store?

Hope you like being in the doghouse…

Good luck getting out of this one, Jimbo!

Being ADHD, this kind of shit happens to me all the time, only in my case it is a text to my phone.

Jimbo’s gonna be sleeping on the couch tonight.

Enter Killer Frost ….

You’re dead meat! Not everyone feels the same way about comics…

He’ll be ok but Rose has just accumulated do-this-for-me-my-way points

Rose is Sore…

I would always hit the comic book store and set my watch alarm to give me enough time to make the purchase and get to the coffee shop early. It is never polite to let anyone wait for you in this sort of situation. And if she is late say nothing unless she brings it up.

Uh-Oh indeed…..

You’re in deep doo doo, mister!

Guess who’s doing the dishes alone tonight.

Tsk, tsk, to think a guy could get so caught up reading COMIC strips that he — oh wow, look at the time!

I used to be on my own M-F except during husband’s vacations. I worked for an accountant, then my dad, then myself and was out on the road most days to clients. I would get all the shopping of any kind done during the week so I would not have to bother husband with same (except things he needed that he had to be there for – such as shoes – I would even buy socks, underwear and shirts for him when he said he needed them.

He got terribly burned out at work and we calculated the numbers this way and that and he quit his job in his late 50s. Part of our agreement was that I would go my way and he would go his during the week. This worked until the gas prices had jumped up terribly somewhere around 2010/2012. He pointed out it was waste of money for me to drive to the supermarket and him to drive separately to the Home Depot in the same shopping center at the same time.

I wish I could go shopping alone – I DON’T want him with me. Pre-pandemic I was out alone 2 days a month – one day I went to a client and the other to my embroidery Guild meeting (and I had told if he wanted to come to same, he could join the chapter in the next county and he could not come with me). Now we are together all day, every day. After dinner (from 11:20 pm to 2 am) he goes as far away as his computer in our office upstairs and I remain down here on my laptop.

So it is not a question of wanting him with me when I shop – it is a question of he gets too miserable if I say I am going out alone!

Rose is lucky she didn’t have to wait 20 hours.

Comic book shops are something you don’t leave under your own power.

I don’t consider 20 minutes a very long time, but then I would be drinking my coffee and reading, and it would be an hour before i realized he didn’t show up
