Mike should take the buy out offer and move back to Connecticut.

GBT really took care to draw some interesting faces in this one

If you only grow & eat everything around, you’re cancer.

What does Mike actually LIKE by now? I don’t know anymore.

Come on Mike, it’s easy to get along with all those other precocious little snots. Just. . . . go get a beer and stand around on the balcony like I do.

Aside from a 20-year-age gap, they have everything in common

Shove all the pigs-and-blankets in a hidden container.

If I remember right, Mike&Kim bought their house for CASH when they had the money, so that’s why in 2023 they can still live “Above their means”

He should have an ice cream anti-social. No one will come, but he doesn’t want them to

“Have you got cash?”

Connecticut seems to be a hotbed for cartoonists, past and present. Roz Chast of The New Yorker moved from NYC to Ridgefield, and Dan Perkins of Tom Tomorrow lived in CT and then moved to NYC. I think Reuben Bolling of Tome the Dancing Bug is still in CT.

This is the place where Mike lacks the needed skills of a CEO. A massively inflated ego, an insane amount of self-confidence and the ability to lie plausibly.
