Close to Home by John McPherson for April 18, 2022

Modern day record — Irving only had him sleeping for 20.

“Dang, I was dreaming it was a fairy-tale world; now I can’t get back!”

did not Van Winkle need to tinkle?

…… and i get a stiff sore back for sleeping 4 hours straight sigh …. lucky fella

I hear you Rip.

Definitely won the beard growing contest!

Ugh always has to be the wife to ruin a good nap

I’ve never had so much sleep that I woke up and didn’t want a little more. I don’t think I like that.

Ahhh, flibbertyjibbert! That story’s a buncha jiggery-pokery and bug-muggery!

(Well, at least Bleeb showed up for work today! Probably smelling of bourbon and Aqua Velva! Yesterdays strip had the biggest pair of legs ever and he wasn’t hanging around ‘em! …Slacker!)

this one time in band camp…

Having seen her, we know why he slept so long

I think he means; give me five more years.

Imagine the duration of his nightmares

What does he do during the wee hours? I probably don’t want to know.

You wore out the snooze alarm already.

Those bed sheets have to be really gross. Bleeb must have a pretty poor sense of smell.

Sing him a lullaby, Bleeb. You know, the heavy metal one?

[sing] Give me five minutes more, only five minutes more… (thanks, ol’ Blue Eyes)

It would have been funnier if Mr Van Winkle said “just give me 5 more months”
