Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 28, 2023

Meg will be the clincher for the move!

So it will be a lot of work for bringing in $250.00.Or, it will be a big success and the family has the makings of a new startup. Don’t go on Shark Tank, I hate that scripted show.

Nothing like you kids pushing you into your plans for them!

No Procrastinating?

Bar codes and credit cards? No Venmo or PayPal yet? Why not just invite the FBI, EPA and IRS to run their garage sale

Credit cards and bar codes? This is a yard sale that I would avoid.

If by “bar codes” she means “cocktail menu” it’ll be a big success.

Other motives could be retrieving things he doesn’t want sold and protecting his inheritance.

If Arlo and Janis move closer tom Gene and family, it seems the kids will constantly try to run all aspects of their lives! “We know whats best for you, we know a better way of doing things”!

I can’t wait to see this modern, next-gen garage sale!

something about their eyes today make them look deranged

Easier to put stickies on each item with the price. Easier to change too.

??? Bar codes are just a font.

Many years ago, I wrote a barcode font for an HP printer. It was part of a tracking system for carbon-carbon brakes disks.

We are in our retirement home and I’m leaving feet first in the coroners van. Told my beloved that she should buy a condo after I’m gone so the upkeep will be minimal, but she has 11 gardens on the property and would miss them immensely. Her call. I’ll be in the second story cell in the cemetery.

There’s an easy way to take care of all of this… Anybody got a match???

The kids are starting to annoy me with all their pressuring.

They just know that if they’re not there, there will be too many things pulled back during the sale. They’re going to have a busy day.

Cash on the barrelhead only.

That will be at least a two day trip for them. Yard sales start very early so they will need to arrive the day before to do any prep. Can the old grandpa take care of the chickens while Meg is gone? Or Meg could stay at home with gramps to take care of everything and keep an eye on him.

ANYTHING to get to the end of the strip faster, but I know that’s not till at least Christmas.

Joy!!

Great idea! Make it become a family activity!

Bar codes? Hi tech.

I think she is definitely pregnant.

Have they ever decided what will be done with poor Ludwig?

Meg’s going to be a bar maid.

Panel 2 — Do I detect a “baby bump”?

What on earth will they do with barcodes at a garage sale? Are they going to buy some fancy scanning equipment for the checkout counter to keep track of their inventory?
