Close to Home by John McPherson for September 10, 2023

let’s hope Mr McPherson patented this idea before he shared it…

Jr doesn’t look capable

Or you could spend six grand on something reasonable

He still won’t use it, and if he does, he’ll break it on the first try.

Who wants clean clothes anyway??

Where can I get one?

Glad Bleeb’s not here for fear that he could accidentally get caught up in that thing!

Time to be responsible. Students need to clean their own cloths or wear them dirty.

That is why you have orientation day…so you can obtain a girlfriend. Then she will do it.

The parents are excited that the student won’t have to bring his laundry home for Mom to do. He appears to be sad that he will have to do it himself.

If only…..lol

If it could shine a woman’s 50 pairs of shoes as well as capture crickets then you got yourself a deal

Hey, I’ll buy one!!!

… a 2011 toon, so it looks like John took a Sunday off. So I’m gonna try an afternoon recipe for sump’n lite from Granny Clampett’s Cookbook:

Gizzards Smothered in Gristle, … with some more of Granny’s Dandelion Greens

Jed would’ve said: “Mmmm-mm, it’ll make you happier than a gopher in soft dirt!

No price on that one! Is a dryer included?

Sounds like a pretty cool bachelors’ bed to me. I could have used that back in the day.

That’s actually an awesome idea. Would be great if it would actually work.

NO NO NO. You don’t ant to deprive mom of doing one of her favorite things.

And the plumbing?

Brilliant!

It was a rude surprise for the monsters under the bed when they showed up. It has run more than once in the night.

Mom looks pretty excited about it, maybe she’s thinking about getting one.

From the looks of that kid, I think he would be better off just leaving his clothes on then crawling under the bed.

We’ll beat any advertised price or your mattress is FREEEEEEE…

No parent would buy that for their kid, as that’s one of their primary motivators in coming home from college to visit: the bag of dirty laundry. And no kid would pay for this—they can just bring their dirty laundry home to mom and dad!

Looks like it’s based on a car wash!

I have long suspected that if John McPherson wasn’t a cartoonist he would he an inventor.

What’ll they think of next – a sink that drops dirty dishes into a washing machine then stacks them in a shelf below?
