Drabble by Kevin Fagan for January 28, 2023

You googled up Donald Duck?! How Goofy can you get?!

Yes…..

Everyone except Patrick.

Even worse. He’s a naked duck!

The NEW me…We’re not supposed to judge…….This won’t last!

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, chances are it is a duck.

Do you really need to ask, Bob?

When the HOA Gestapo want entrance into your domicile, repeat after me: “I do not consent.” Unless the HOA Covenants that you sign allows them unfettered access.

Yes, that’s why we love it. A family more eccentric than ours.

Point of order: HOAs seldom, if ever, care what you do inside your house. Most, if not all, HOA rules deal with outdoor appearance and use.

Rare South American Parrot (née Duck) is the smartest character in this strip.

do you really want that question answered parrot.

Everyone is dumb except the duck…

Actually, one of the “definitions” of dumb is the inability to speak, and the only character in the strip who never makes a sound is Bob, so the answer to your question, Bob, is “No, just you…”.

Apparently so, Bob.

How much longer can Ralph duck and cover for Bob?

It’s good thing his sailor suit was at the cleaners.

What just happened, isn’t that an ivasion of privacy?

HOA has no right in way, shape, or form to enter inside your house, your garage, or your backyard!

BTW, I like how that duck thinks. She is the only sane one in this arc.

Yes, Bob. Yes, they are.

Steinbauer is an HOA officer: OF COURSE he’s dumb!

I propose renaming the HOA officer levels: Chief Karen; Vice Karen; Area Karen; etc. And, if you’re in a castle doctrine state, seeing one of them on your property is justification for defending your home with extreme prejudice – they’re always up to no good and looking for ways to steal your money, your possessions and your home, so the threshold is met. Would certainly make the world a better place!

Yes, well except for the Parrot.

Curley

Yes.

Only the characters

ANYONE!!!, And, I mean, “ANYONE”…. that is DUMB ENOUGH, to move into a neighborhood, where there’s a functioning “HOA”….. would eat dog droppings, with a dirty spoon!!
